EO 14171 Jan 20, 2025 TIER 3DEEP SCRAPE

Restoring Accountability to Policy-Influencing Positions Within the Federal Workforce

Theater score 26/100

Detector flags: restores a thing that arguably never left; exists partly to revoke a previous order.

Immediate Impact

Reinstates Schedule F under a new name, reclassifying policy-influencing civil servants into at-will positions.

This one did the regulatory work. Undoing it means a new OPM rulemaking, which means notice, comment, and a year of procedure.
