"This Is the Latest Example Of Trump Administration Vacancies Act Violations"

"Washington, DC — In a new letter to U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) is warning that  Jeffrey Clark’s role as “Acting Administrator” of the Office of information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is in violation of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA) and actions he has taken could be in legal jeopardy.

Mr. Clark is performing a major role at OIRA in authorizing deregulatory actions pushed by the Trump Administration, including environmental steps such as weakening Endangered Species Act regulations. Such actions could later be thrown out in court.
