Executive Order 14215

Document details

Signed

February 18, 2025

President

Donald Trump

Title

Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies

Mechanism

OIRA regulatory review and OMB management oversight

Independent agency regulatory review

Executive Order 14215 required independent regulatory agencies, subject to specified exceptions, to send significant proposed and final regulatory actions to OIRA for review before Federal Register publication.

Budget, performance and legal positions

The order also directed OMB to set certain performance objectives for independent regulators, addressed apportionment and executive-branch legal interpretations, and specified limitations for Federal Reserve monetary-policy functions.

Origins

The order amended the longer-standing Executive Order 12866 framework. It followed related proposals in Heritage’s Project 2025, but similarities between public plans and final orders do not by themselves identify who drafted the official language.
