January 20:
Trump's war on regulations is real. But is it working?

June 22: 86'd by 45: Regulations Gone Under Trump

From union-busting limitations to increased eligibility for overtime pay, a look at some key reversals on rules affecting manufacturers.

When President Donald Trump took office, he promised to roll back “job killing” regulations. Since then, the Trump administration has killed Obama-era rules that limit union-busting, link worker safety to the awarding federal contracts, and increase eligibility for overtime pay, among others.

August 3: Has the Trump administration repealed 22 regulations for each new one?

... this 22-to-1 claim was debunked by experts after Trump announced it last December, yet the administration refuses to drop it.

October 17: U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday praised White House efforts to remove regulations that he sees as an impediment to economic growth, saying the administration had reduced regulatory costs by $23 billion in the year ending Sept. 30.

The deregulatory actions included rescinding a 2015 hydraulic fracturing rule, eliminating a requirement that farms report emissions produced by animal waste, and withdrawing rules that would require air carriers to disclose some fees even if customers did indicate whether they planned to check a bag.

The new regulations included rules on hurricane assistance for agriculture losses, rules for payments of avian flu indemnity claims, mercury reporting requirements and sewer overflow public disclosures.

Lisa Gilbert, vice president of legislative affairs at advocacy group Public Citizen, said none of the 14 regulations finalized by the administration “can be credibly described as significantly improving the public’s health and safety or saving lives.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday that it plans to reverse regulations that set specific content requirements for frozen cherry pies and French salad dressing. The FDA said both changes would “provide food manufacturers with greater flexibility.”

October 23: Trump Exceeds One-In, Two-Out Goals On Cutting Regulations, But It May Be Getting Tougher

The Trump administration has released the Fall 2018 edition of the twice-yearly Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions.

Around since the early 80s, the blockbuster Unified Agenda updates ...  regulatory priorities of the federal bureaucracy. Trump’s regulatory cuts and liberalization distinguish today’s versions of the beefy report.

October 24: A running list of how President Trump is changing environmental policy

The Trump administration has promised vast changes to U.S. science and environmental policy—and we’re tracking them here as they happen.

The Trump Administration’s tumultuous presidency has brought a flurry of changes—both realized and anticipated—to U.S. environmental policy. Many of the actions roll back Obama-era policies that aimed to curb climate change and limit environmental pollution, while others threaten to limit federal funding for science and the environment.

October 25: It is a popular fiction that despite its many foibles, the Trump administration has been successful in dismantling environmental regulations. Given the sheer number of attacks levied on energy and environmental regulations involving the coal, oil, gas, and automotive industries, casual observers might reasonably conclude that the administration is deploying a successful deregulatory strategy.

It is not ... having squandered half of its four-year term, the White House faces an uphill climb in developing and finalizing many of its major environmental rollback initiatives, and getting them past now-skeptical courts, before the clock runs out.

November 13: Trump administration’s own analyses indicate many of its new regulations will hurt vulnerable Americans

President Trump’s push to roll back federal regulations will take a significant toll on Americans’ health and finances, according to a surprising source — the Trump administration itself.

These human costs – which include more deaths from air pollution, higher medical bills and increased student debt – rarely get mentioned by the president, who often touts the economic benefits of his deregulatory campaign.

But a review of thousands of pages of federal regulatory and legal filings shows that multiple agencies predict in their own analyses that the changes will cause an extensive list of harmful, even deadly, effects.
