President Nominates Howard Shelanski to be OIRA Administrator Open Access

Last week, President Obama nominated Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chief Economist Howard Shelanski to be the next Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). If confirmed by the Senate, Shelanski would fill the position vacated by Cass Sunstein, who returned to Harvard’s law faculty in August 2012. Boris Bershteyn, former OMB General Counsel, had held the position in an acting capacity until his departure from OMB last month. Career Deputy Administrator, Dominic Mancini is currently Acting Administrator.
