The CMA Keeps the Keys: China's First Sectoral Rules for Public Meteorological Data Authorized Operation
In March 2026 the Office of the China Meteorological Administration issued the Measures for the Administration of the Authorized Operation of Public Meteorological Data (Trial) — 公共气象数据授权运营管理办法（试行）, Qi Ban Fa [2026] No. 23 — the first complete sector-specific implementation of the NDRC/NDA authorized-operation framework inside a national vertical system that DCC has recorded. DCC has translated the full 39-article text. The design departs from the national baseline in one consistent direction: control. Operating terms are capped at three years against the national five; operating institutions pass a provincial review, a CMA maturity assessment and the CMA's own 'three majors and one large' deliberation before they may even bid; downstream developers become a third catalogued and supervised tier; nobody but an implementing institution may sub-authorize data, even disguised as cooperative development; and no product trades without a CMA-issued meteorological-data identity tag registered on the CMA's circulation supervision platform. Read against the National Data Administration's Data Property Rights Registration Work Guide — whose public-data clause lets products formed through authorized operation take property-rights registration and circulate as certificated market assets — the meteorological version keeps the development right inside the system: what a market entity gets is a term-limited, contract-based service role inside CMA infrastructure, not a registrable right over what it builds.

Guangdong Prices the Public-Data Operator Like a Utility: Inside the Province's Authorized-Operation Price-Management Measures
On 12 May 2026 the Guangdong DRC and the Guangdong Administration of Government Services and Data issued the Guangdong Province Public Data Resource Authorized-Operation Price Management Measures — one of the first provincial implementations of the national NDRC/NDA price-formation notice (发改价格〔2025〕65号). The 20-article rule prices the 'public-data operation service fee' (公共数据运营服务费) with a regulated-utility toolkit: government-guided pricing, a maximum permitted revenue equal to operating cost + permitted profit + tax, and a permitted profit rate capped at the prior-year 10-year treasury yield plus no more than 6 percentage points. DCC reads the full text (carried by 数据行者X) against the Guangdong DRC's official interpretation (carried by 砖济咨询) to draw out what overseas counsel needs: this is cost-of-service, rate-of-return regulation imported into the data-element market, with periodic resets every three years, a ±10% annual adjustment band, mandatory cost separation, and a carve-out keeping public-governance and public-welfare data 'conditionally free.'
