This is easily searchable. Here is a quick answer from Claude.
> Regarding agency terminations through sunset provisions, in practice these have been rare. Despite the widespread adoption of sunset laws at the state level in the 1970s and 1980s (with 35 states enacting such laws), "few agencies have actually been terminated under these sunset provisions." At the federal level, Congress has used sunset provisions more sparingly and typically for specific statutes rather than entire agencies.
