Transfer of the Chemical Information System (CIS) to the private sector

Abstract

During fiscal year 1984, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) performed a series of reviews of the EPA‐NIH Chemical Information System which resulted in the transfer of the system software and data to the private sector for operation, independent of the Government. This is the story of the privatization of the CIS.
