Executive Order on Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
In this Executive Order, the President requires Federal agencies to design cost-effective, evidence-based regulations that are compatible with economic growth, job creation, and competitiveness. It outlines following guiding principles:
•Cost-effective and Cost-Justified: Consistent with law, Agencies must consider costs and benefits and choose the least burdensome path. •Transparent: The regulatory process must be transparent and include public participation, with an opportunity for the public to comment.
•Coordinated and Simplified: Agencies must attempt to coordinate, simplify, and harmonize regulations to reduce costs and promote certainty for businesses and the public.
•Flexible: Agencies must consider approaches that maintain freedom of choice and flexibility, including disclosure of relevant information to the public.
•Science-driven: Regulations must be guided by objective scientific evidence.
•Necessary and Up-to-Date: Existing regulations must be reviewed to determine that they are still necessary and crafted effectively to solve current problems. If they are outdated, they must be changed or repealed.

More Kabuki theater from the Obamatrons. What a joke!
exactly.
I wonder IF anyone in Congress get’s it.
The EPA has already entered their report. Change NOTHING.
Ditto EDU etc.
Cost-effective and Cost-Justified
Coordinated and Simplified
Flexible
Science-driven
Necessary and Up-to-Date
The Federal Govt is unable and unwilling to accomplish any of the above.
Fine - he doesn’t want or believe this himself. I say hold this over his head during every EPA, FDA, HS and all CZAR news stories....
“In compliance with President Obama’s dictate to curtail unproductive regulations, we, the EPA, freely admit the proposed regulation to (fill in the blank)is harmful to free enterprise but we still want it so go stuff it cause we know better than you do.”
Yes, it is purely a 2012 Campaign ploy to deflect any discussion of the outragous behavour of the agencies bypassing Congress and following Obama orders to crack down on citizens and business.
you’d think legislators would be upset with being replaced by bureaucrats.
Why have faith in a two party system when actual elections mean nothing because we’re being ‘ruled’ by ‘elites’?

Continued???
...........Science-driven................
I can’t wait to see all the science drivers that will allow the EPA to shut down CO2 emitters.
I’m sure that it will be algore peer reviewed!
more co-opting of crony businesses who actually rely on Federal regulations to keep tilting the table in their direction.
The one problem I see with Legi’s is that they don’t pay attention to what the agencies are doing. (yes I really believe that)
ONLY when the electorate gets po;d do they even take a look.
Repub nature is not to fight, just block.
All the while the Zero admin is setting up the 2012 Campaign propaganda.
if inflation continues to rise, which most say it will.
Food,energy cost the largest factor.
I would like to hear his excuse for that!
Inflation is going to be a BIG issue. How is he going to make excuses for THAT.
OH yes, to DumocRat to fail.
Exactly, there was some murmurings about the agencies from congress.
The Admin is trying yet again to coopt the issue.
They have NO intention of cutting regs or even doing a serious look at the regs.
CONGRESS should be doing this right NOW.
