SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


[top] On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13783, Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth. The Executive Order establishes a national policy to promote the clean and safe development of domestic energy resources while avoiding unnecessary regulatory burdens. It directs federal agencies to "review all existing regulations, orders, page 51161 guidance documents, policies, and any other similar agency actions (collectively, "agency actions") that potentially burden the development or use of domestically produced energy resources[.]"?1 The Executive Order also orders the EPA to review specific rules. As part of E.O. 13783, agencies are to develop a report detailing this review that includes recommendations for reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens. The EPA's final report is available at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/regulatory-reform.
