Energy Department Slashes 47 Burdensome and Costly Regulations, Delivering First Milestone in America's Biggest Deregulatory Effort
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the first step in
the Energy Department's largest deregulatory effort in history, proposing the elimination or reduction of 47 regulations that are driving up costs and lowering quality of life for the American people. Once finalized, these actions will save the American people an estimated $11 billion and cut more than 125,000 words from the Code of Federal Regulations. These actions, in accordance with President Donald Trump's Executive Order, "Zero-Based Regulation to Unleash American Energy," advance President Trump's promise to restore consumer freedom, lower costs, and unleash American energy dominance.
"While it would normally take years for the Department of Energy to remove just a handful of regulations, the Trump Administration assembled a team working around the clock to reduce costs and deliver results for the American people in just over 110 days," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright. "Thanks to President Trump's leadership, we are bringing back common sense -- slashing regulations meant to appease Green New Deal fantasies, restrict consumer choice and increase costs for the American people. Promises made, promises kept."
The 47 actions include the proposed elimination or modification to dozens of consumer appliance standards, regulations limiting building and energy production and unscientific DEI requirements for grant recipients. The full list of actions is available below:
