Excerpt: “Recently, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced a first of its kind initiative to allow the public to submit ideas for ending existing rules and regulations through an online form on Regulations.gov. The Trump Administration has made ending harmful and business-stifling regulations a priority. Publishing this form affords the American public, who are most affected by unnecessary, unlawful, or unduly burdensome regulations, the opportunity to have their voices heard in the deregulatory process. The Administration will review and analyze submissions to understand opportunities. … When providing a submission focus on explaining:
- The rule’s original purpose and context
- Reasons why the rule should be rescinded (canceled), such as:
- Conflicts with law or Constitution
- Costs outweighing benefits
- The rule is no longer relevant
- The rule unexpectedly creates problems for businesses
The key is to provide clear, constructive feedback about why the existing rule or regulation should be rescinded.”
