Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking from the DOT’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on “National Performance Management Measures; Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Measure”. This is the first rulemaking submitted to OIRA since President Trump took office on January 20th and announced a temporary freeze on federal rulemaking.
There is no entry for this rulemaking in the Fall 2024 Unified Agenda, but I suspect that this rule will be a start to the process of overturning the Biden Administration’s 2024 “National Performance Management Measures; Assessing Performance of the National Highway System, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Measure” final rule. That rule essentially overturned a Trump 45 rule from 2018 that overturned an Obama January 2017 rule.
While I have no intention of covering this rulemaking in
this blog, it will be interesting to see how quickly OIRA processes this
rulemaking. This is obviously a high-profile rulemaking for the incoming
administration and there are only four other rulemakings currently in OIRA
pending review. This rule will provide the first measure of how effective the new
administration is on bureaucratic process of rulemaking.
