Presidential Order: Strengthening Accountability for All Agencies

This Presidential Order aims to strengthen Presidential supervision and control over the entire executive branch and increase the accountability of regulatory agencies to the American people. The order mandates that all executive departments and agencies, including so-called independent agencies, must submit all proposed and final significant regulatory actions to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President for review before publication in the Federal Register. Furthermore, the President will establish performance standards and management objectives for the heads of independent agencies and periodically report to the President on their performance and efficiency in achieving these standards and objectives.
