Executive orders Relief

Regulatory Impact Analyses so prepared are required to be reviewed by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, subject to the direction of the Presidential Task Force on Regulatory Relief. Thus, Executive Order 12291 affords two regulatory review levels, one by 0MB and potentially one by the Task Force. The 0MB, as an agency of the Executive Office of the President, is in a position to ensure that both the letter and the spirit of Executive Order 12291 are followed in RIAs produced by the several agencies. 

ENFORCEMENT BY ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION—Any Presidential appointee may file a complaint alleging a violation, not later than 180 days after the occurrence of the alleged violation, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or such other entity as is designated by the President by Executive Order, which, in accordance with the principles and procedures set forth in sections 554 through 557 of title 5, United States Code, shall determine whether a violation has occurred and shall set forth its determination in a final order. If the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or such other entity as is designated by the President pursuant to this section, determines that a violation has occurred, the final order shall also provide for appropriate relief. 

On 5 April 1933, one month after assuming office, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6101, entitled Relief of Unemployment through the Performance of Useful Public Works, appropriated 10 million to establish ECW, and appointed Robert Eechner as director. The executive order mandated the appointment of two representatives by each of the secretaries of Agriculture, Interior, Labor, and War to an ECW advisory council (the Veterans Administration, Office of Indian Affairs, and Department of Education were later participants). The advisory council discussed matters of policy and presented recommendations to the director, who was free to accept or reject them. However, on all matters pertaining to CCC policy, the ultimate authority resided with the president.
