In a sweeping move aimed at deregulating various sectors, President Trump has directed agencies to repeal numerous regulations without public notice, specifically targeting environmental protections and energy-related rules. With an executive order advocating for zero-based regulatory budgeting, the administration seeks to set new expiration dates on existing regulations while expediting the repeal process. Trump has instructed agencies like FERC to incorporate five-year sunsets on energy regulations and expedite the dismantling of perceived unlawful rules. Critics argue this push sidelines public input and could undermine longstanding environmental safeguards.
