Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a final rule from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on “Elimination of Federal Executive Boards”. That direct final rule was sent to OIRA on March 10th, 2025. As I reported last week, the Final rule is in response to Trump’s EO 14217, Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy. It would eliminate:
• The Presidio
Trust,
• The Inter-American
Foundation,
• The United States
African Development Foundation, and
• The United States Institute of Peace.
It will be interesting to see how quickly this gets printed in the Federal Register. There is no reason that it could not be published this week as this is obviously a priority for President Trump. Any delay past that would be an indication of bureaucratic inefficiencies in the Administration that would not be unexpected at this point in the new organization.
I may publish a short post on the publication of this rule to address that issue, but at the very least I will include a note in the appropriate Short Takes post on the day it is published.
