Feds Finally Kill Off Their Own Useless Executive Boards Nationwide
Published Date: 3/21/2025
Rule
Summary
Starting March 21, 2025, the government is shutting down Federal Executive Boards, which helped coordinate federal agencies outside Washington, DC. This change affects federal workers nationwide and is part of a big plan to cut down on bureaucracy, saving time and money. The Office of Personnel Management is making it official by removing the rules that set up these boards.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Federal employees face RIF or reassignment
If you worked for a Federal Executive Board (FEB), your FEB ceased operations and, starting March 21, 2025, personnel formerly assigned to FEBs are being notified of reduction-in-force (RIF) procedures or are being reassigned under applicable law and policy.
FEB duties and assets returned to agencies
All property, records, and unexpended funds associated with FEBs have been returned to their originating agencies or disposed of and archived, and essential coordination functions previously done by FEBs have been reassigned to appropriate Federal agencies as determined by OPM and agency heads.
Small businesses not affected by this rule
The Office of Personnel Management certified under the Regulatory Flexibility Act that this rule applies only to Federal agencies and employees and will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

2026-18800, Reduction in Force; Correction
The Office of Personnel Management fixed a mistake in a recent rule about job cuts and career help for federal workers.

This correction, effective September 15, 2026, puts those details back so employees know when they qualify for special support during layoffs.
2026-16687, Differential Pay for Prescribed Wildland Fire Activities

2026-15650, Suitability Action Appeals
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to revise how an applicant, appointee, or employee may appeal a suitability action taken under 5 CFR part 731. OPM will replace the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) as the adjudicative agency for such appeals. The change will streamline suitability action appeals procedures, thereby improving the efficiency, rigor, and timeliness by which OPM and agencies resolve challenges to suitability actions and ensure the integrity and efficiency of the service.
2026-15666, Reduction in Force Appeals
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to revise how an employee may appeal a furlough of more than 30 days, separation, or demotion by a reduction-in-force (RIF) action. OPM will replace the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) as the adjudicative agency for such appeals. The rule establishes a uniform, record-based OPM appeal process; clarifies the appellant's burden; requires production of the complete agency record; preserves collateral statutory remedies; and applies prospectively to improve timeliness, consistency, and cost-effectiveness while maintaining administrative review.
