Federal Register: Treasury Asks Public To Help Reduce Regulatory Burdens

The U.S. Treasury Department ("Treasury") requested recommendations and information from the public to identify Treasury regulations that can be "eliminated, modified, or streamlined in order to reduce burdens."

The request was issued in response to Executive Order 13777 ("Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda"), which requires regulatory agencies to form task forces that help to implement previous orders focused on regulatory reform. The Treasury asked that submissions (i) identify regulations by titles and citations to the Code of Federal Regulations, and (ii) explain how the regulations could be modified, if appropriate, or why they should be eliminated.
