Move enforcement attorneys into the general counsel's office
What the document says“OECA attorneys should be moved into OGC.”
The chapter says enforcement attorneys tend to take legal positions to win cases or obtain settlements that may be inconsistent with those of the general counsel and program offices, that it is unacceptable for the agency to hold inconsistent legal positions, and that all attorneys with authority to represent the agency should be housed in the general counsel's office.
What the document actually says“OECA attorneys should be moved into OGC.”
Move these lawyers into the main legal office.
The EPA has lawyers who bring cases. They sit in their own office. The book says they argue things the agency's main lawyers would not. It wants them moved.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
