Independent Agencies to Submit Rules for White House Review Under New Executive Order

In an evolving regulatory landscape, independent agencies are now beginning to submit their rules for White House review, marking the implementation of a new executive order. This change involves expanding the scope of White House reviews to encompass independent agencies, which traditionally have operated with a level of autonomy from executive oversight. Susan Dudley, former administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs under President George W. Bush, noted that this expansion would necessitate a significant increase in staff to manage the additional workload effectively. More details on this development are available in the National Law Journal.
