Biden Administration Review of Trump Pending Rules

We are now 11 days into the Biden Administration, and it appears that their review of rules pending review by OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is complete. Agencies have withdrawn 60 pending rulemakings, leaving 10 under consideration by OIRA; see the table below for the list of remaining rulemakings.

None of the rulemakings that were withdrawn have been covered in this blog.

At this point in the Trump Administration 24 rulemakings had been withdrawn, leaving only one to go to completion. The differences in the numbers of withdrawn rulemakings is more a measure of the efficacy of the Obama and Trump administrations in getting rulemakings completed during their tenure than in the intensity of the Trump and Biden administrations in clearing rulemakings from the previous administration.
