action).
    (e) Once the Administrator anticipates and/or determines she will 
not be able to perform the functions of the position, the Administrator 
will immediately notify the Office of Cabinet Affairs and White House

Affairs, White House Chief of Staff, and Principal Policy Counterpart. 
Further, intra-agency stakeholders and other federal agency 
counterparts will be notified as necessary.
