EPA Warns Trump's 'Two-For-One' Order Could Hinder Deregulatory Rules

摘要

EPA is warning that President Donald Trump's executive order (EO) requiring agencies to identify two rules for possible repeal for every new rule issued could create procedural hurdles for rules scrapping major EPA policies in an effort to ease industry burdens, because they would be considered new rules, says a knowledgeable source. Further, a lack of Senate-confirmed officials to head up key EPA offices is also limiting the agency's ability to engage with the White House on how it can implement the order, according to the source.
