Assess whether the RIA would survive OIRA and litigation from emergency
August 31, 2026

Keep Recoup in force until emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet is completed after a records hold issued after staff already auto-deleted for regulatory-impact analyst. 3. Treat emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet as Deny because both readings appear after a records hold issued after staff already auto-deleted. 4. Refuse a Government close: regulatory-impact analyst does not have the decision the RIA would survive turns on in emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet.

For this Government Budget and Performance file, read emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet against a records hold issued after staff already auto-deleted and write the one fact that would move the RIA would survive for regulatory-impact analyst.
