OIRA Continues Announcing Rulemaking Withdrawals

The OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs announced that yesterday it had ‘approved’ ten rulemaking actions. Seven of those actions were ‘Withdrawal’ approvals (none of specific interest here). This is one of those little noticed activities during transitions between administrations with significantly different regulatory outlooks. It is a recognition that the incoming Trump Administration is unlikely (at best) to continue working on these efforts. It helps to clear the decks for the incoming political appointees.

The agencies involved in yesterday’s announced actions were:

• FDA (5) – guidance documents,

• USCIS – refugee issues, and

• FAR – climate change requirements.
