SIC Department of Commerce and Other Policies

As the federal department where NOAA resides, the Department of Commerce (DoC) Policy related to scientific integrity is aligned with administration policy.  The current DOC Policy takes the form of a memorandum that was developed in response to an OSTP Memorandum in 2010.  The Department has not updated its policy since 2011.
