EPA Deregulatory Actions
Executive Order (EO) 13771, (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017), “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs,” directs agencies to repeal at least two existing regulations for each new regulation issued in FY 2017 and thereafter. It further directs agencies that the “total incremental costs of all regulations should be no greater than zero” in FY 2017. For FY 2018 and beyond, the director of the Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) provided agencies with a total amount of incremental costs that will be allowed. The FY 2017 regulatory cost savings, FY 2018 cost saving estimates, and accounting methods for calculating regulatory costs under EO 13771 are all available at OIRA’s Regulatory Reform: Two-for-One and Regulatory Cost Caps website.
