EPA, Federal Agencies Lay Out Agenda For Future Regulatory Changes

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other federal departments Wednesday released their parts of the semiannual Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions and a Fall Regulatory Plan.  The plans are a roadmap of sorts of the kinds of changes they want to make.

“To date, under President Trump, EPA has finalized 28 major deregulatory actions saving Americans over $1.6 billion and meeting the President’s two-for-one regulatory order,” said EPA Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “We are providing the states and regulated community the regulatory certainty they need to advance new technologies, improve environmental protections, and enhance economic growth.”

Interior

The U.S. Department of the Interior reported that in Fiscal Year 2018 regulatory reform actions have resulted in a savings of roughly $2.5 billion in net present value. Since January 2017, Interior has withdrawn more than 150 proposed rulemakings from the regulatory agenda and finalized no less than 19 deregulatory actions in FY 2018.
