Review - FERC Sends Sunset Provisions Direct Final Rule to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a direct final rule from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on “Implementation of the Executive Order [EO 14270] Entitled ‘Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Unleash American Energy’”. This rule was not listed in the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda. Without the information that would be provided in a UA rulemaking listing, we can only guess that this rule would implement the sunset provisions of section 4 of  EO 14270 for all covered existing FERC regulations.
