What is this going to affect? What sort of information do people think the EPA should be independently releasing (or that are currently releasing) that you foresee being curtailed by this mandate, so as to adversely affect the American public?
Say a gas line breaks up river from your drinking water source. instead of the EPA releasing info on how much got into your water source, how long it will take to remediate, etc. The "reviewers" say that it isn't a big deal. No need to cause panic. So they don't release it, and you never know anything about the whole situation.
I have liked Trump's moves so far, but without the whole story this seems bad.

It's hard to envision a scenario whereby people "inside the EPA" are the only individuals privy to such information.

What happens if there is lead contamination in a Midwestern US city? Would this mandate cause a 7 month delay in the relaying of information?

Independent scientists can test and comment.
The EPA is a political entity controlled by the President. They have no "right" to do whatever they want.
They aren't independent. They work for someone, and that person is the President.
