"EPA Shutters Las Vegas Office"

"EPA plans to close its Las Vegas Finance Center as the agency continues to shrink its real estate footprint across the country.

The center currently has 16 employees, who can choose to be reassigned to other positions in EPA's Office of the Chief Financial Officer, an agency spokesman told E&E News.

In addition, EPA is requesting the authority from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and Office of Management and Budget to offer early retirement and buyouts, known as voluntary early retirement authority and voluntary separation incentive payments, to those affected by the move."
