Note that Acting Administrators usually assume the office in the interim period between the resignation of a previous Administrator and the confirmation of his or her successor, or during the transition period between two Presidential Administrations, before the successor has been nominated and confirmed. Acting Administrators come from within the EPA, and usually hold an office that is subject to Senate confirmation before becoming the Acting Administrator. They are not subject to Senate confirmation to serve as the Acting Administrator, though to continue to serve as a full-fledged Administrator (as in the case of Lee M. Thomas), they must be confirmed by the Senate.
