# Dominic Mancini Acting Administrator of the [[Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs]] since 4 March 2026, and acting Administrator once before, from 20 January to 5 March 2025. He took the post from [[Jeffrey Clark]], who had held it in an acting capacity for the preceding year. The last Senate-confirmed Administrator, Richard L. Revesz, left on 20 January 2025. The office matters more than its obscurity suggests. Its Administrator decides which federal data series count as principal economic indicators at all, and may waive most of the rules governing how those indicators are released and revised — including the release calendar and the revisions provisions of [[Statistical Policy Directive No. 3]]. The Administrator also appoints the [[Chief Statistician of the United States]]. Those powers are mapped in [[How a Federal Statistic Is Revised or Retracted]]. > [!note] Stub > This is a short entry that hasn't been fully written yet. ## Related pages - [[Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs]] - [[Chief Statistician of the United States]] - [[How a Federal Statistic Is Revised or Retracted]]
