Query: Science Use in Regulatory Impact Analysis: The Effects of Political
  Attention and Controversy   Scholars, policymakers, and research sponsors have long sought to understand
the conditions under which scientific research is used in the policymaking
process. Recent research has identified a resource that can be used to trace
the use of science across time and many policy domains. US federal agencies are
mandated by executive order to justify all economically significant regulations
by regulatory impact analyses (RIAs), in which they present evidence of the
scientific underpinnings and consequences of the proposed rule. To gain new
insight into when and how regulators invoke science in their policy
justifications, we ask: does the political attention and controversy
surrounding a regulation affect the extent to which science is utilized in
RIAs? We examine scientific citation activity in all 101 economically
significant RIAs from 2008-2012 and evaluate the effects of attention -- from
the public, policy elites and the media -- on the degree of science use in
RIAs. Our main finding is that regulators draw more heavily on scientific
research when justifying rules subject to a high degree of attention from
outside actors. These findings suggest that scientific research plays an
important role in the justification of regulations, especially those that are
highly salient to the public and other policy actors.
