DOE Withdraws Sunset Provision NPRM

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that the DOE had withdrawn a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on “Zero-Based Regulating”. Interestingly, the notice reports that the NPRM was also submitted to OIRA yesterday; that probably means that this is just a temporary delay.

According to the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:

“The U.S. Department of Energy is considering initiating a proposed rule to amend the regulations that govern energy production to include a sunset provision in compliance with EO 14270 [link added], " Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting To Unleash American Energy".”
