An example of this is the navigable waters rule. EPA wanted a big rollout in Las Vegas on Thurs. Jan. 23 at the National Association of Home Builders convention. OMB didn’t post the rule as “concluded” on https://t.co/IyOFNmhtRs until the day after the convention. 4/6

Until OMB completes its review of a regulation, no one from any government agency with knowledge of the rule may discuss it publicly. That means agency press officers legitimately can’t discuss pending rules with news reporters. 2/6
