It looks like the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs (OIRA) has finally reached a steady state of no new rulemakings
introduced and no new withdrawals of previously submitted rulemakings. The last
withdrawal was done on January 24th, 2025. No new rulemakings have
been submitted since Trump took office on January 20th, 2025. The
five remaining
rulemakings (EO Review Search Criteria: Agencies=All; Review Status=Pending Review) still under
OIRA review are:

The most interesting one from a Republican perspective is the last; “Energy Conservation Standards for Portable Electric Spas”, RIN 1904-AF36. Given the knee jerk reaction against these energy conservation standards amongst many Republicans in the Congress, it seems odd that this rulemaking (pending since 2023) has survived the Trump mandated regulatory review.
Now we just get to wait and see how long it takes the new
Administration to start initiating (or reinstating) rulemakings.
