Historical wet runway performance data

Hi,

I have been reading up on wet runway performance data recently and am interested in some historical data concerning the FAA regulations/NTSB recommendations only. As you may know the wet runway performance is considered as advisory only. As far as I now, it is/or was not considered to be mandatory to provide this information, and unlike the dry runway performance numbers, does not have to be flight tested and apparently is usually not flight tested due the difficulty of getting proper test conditions.

Things started to change from a recommended and regulatory point of view after a Southwest airlines overrun at Chicago in 2007. Prior to this accident, was there any regulatory requirement for the landing distance of a wet runway to be equal to what the published wet runway data stated was the required landing distance or was the only actual legal requirement that the dry runway distance be met regardless of runway conditions.
