The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued a final rule to remove regulations related to the Federal Executive Boards (FEBs), as directed by an Executive Order from 2025 aimed at reducing federal bureaucracy. The FEBs, originally established by President Kennedy to improve government efficiency outside Washington, DC, have officially ceased operations. Property and personnel linked to the FEBs have been reallocated or notified of new procedures. The rule is effective immediately and complies with various legal requirements, although no public input was needed due to the direct presidential directive.
Simple Explanation
The government decided to stop using some special groups that helped make sure things got done outside of the main DC area. This change happened fast and there's a plan to move people and things from these groups to other parts of the government.
