The Trump administration released a regulatory-reform plan on Friday proposing
the rescission of 702 federal rules, a record for the White House semiannual
regulatory agenda and about double the scale of reforms pursued during his first
term. It says it has finalized or implemented 752 deregulatory actions since the
start of the federal fiscal year on Oct. 1, 2025. Measures slated for removal by
fiscal year-end Sept. 30 include environmental review requirements for energy
projects, energy-efficiency standards and rules tied to diversity, equity and
inclusion. The administration projects $1.5 trillion in cost savings to the U.S.
economy if all planned rollbacks are completed by Sept. 30.
