What happens in a U.S. Federal agency after a presidential transition, but before its Cabinet secretary is confirmed?
What kind of changes can take place within the federal agency during this interim period?
During the interim period, federal agencies generally continue to operate as normal, but major policy changes or significant budgetary decisions are put on hold until the new Cabinet secretary is confirmed. However, interim officials may still make minor changes and carry out routine functions to keep the agency running smoothly.
