The EPA published a notice in the April 13th Federal Register
requesting public comments on regulations that may be appropriate
for repeal, replacement, or modification. This request
follows President Trump's February 24th
Executive Order that, among other things, requires federal
agencies to establish a Regulatory Reform Task Force ("Task
Force") to make recommendations targeting specific federal
regulations for elimination or modification. Task Forces must
seek input from entities affected by federal regulations, including
businesses, consumers, non-governmental organizations and trade
associations. EPA's Task Force is requesting comments on
regulations that eliminate jobs or stifle their creation, impose
costs that exceed benefits, implement Executive Orders or other
Presidential directives that have been rescinded or modified, or
are otherwise ineffective or outdated. Comments will be
accepted through May 15.
