Overview
In February 2017, the President issued
Executive Order 13777, ‘‘Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda,’’ which sets
forth principles and requirements for
each agency to evaluate and implement
measures to lower regulatory burdens
on the American people. Specifically,
the Executive Order directs each
agency’s Regulatory Reform Task Force
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
to identify regulatory actions that do the
following:
(i) Eliminate jobs, or inhibit job
creation;
(ii) are outdated, unnecessary, or
ineffective;
(iii) impose costs that exceed benefits;
(iv) create a serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with regulatory
reform initiatives and policies;
(v) are inconsistent with the
requirements of the Information Quality
Act (section 515 of the Treasury and
General Government Appropriations
Act, 2001, 44 U.S.C. 3516 note), or OMB
Information Quality Guidance issued
pursuant to that provision, in particular
those regulations that rely in whole or
in part on data, information, or methods
that are not publicly available or that are
insufficiently transparent to meet the
standard for reproducibility; or
(vi) derive from or implement
Executive Orders or other Presidential
directives that have been subsequently
rescinded or substantially modified.
Section 3(e) of this Order directs each
agency’s Regulatory Reform Task Force
to seek input and other assistance, as
permitted by law, from entities
significantly affected by existing Federal
regulations (as defined in Section 4 of
Executive Order 13771) including State,
local, and tribal governments, small
businesses, consumers, nongovernmental organizations, and trade
associations. Pursuant to Executive
Order 13777 and as one part of a
broader consultation effort, the
Department of Justice’s Regulatory
Reform Task Force is publishing this
Notice to solicit public suggestions for
subjects meriting the Task Force’s
attention.
Request for Comments
The Task Force seeks public comment
for two purposes. First, the Task Force
seeks comments from the public on the
various kinds of actions taken by the
Department’s components that the
public perceives to be regulatory in
nature even if they are issued in a form
other than rules promulgated upon
notice and comment. For purposes of
this inquiry, the public may perceive an
action to be regulatory in nature if it
imposes binding requirements on any
person or entity outside the federal
government or if it states criteria that a
Department component will use to
assess compliance with such a binding
requirement.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 28, 2017 / Proposed Rules
Second, the Task Force seeks
suggestions from the public for specific
regulatory actions previously taken by
the Department that should be repealed,
replaced, or modified, consistent with
applicable law. In particular, the Task
Force welcomes specific comments that
identify regulatory actions that meet the
criteria as proscribed in Executive Order
13777.
The Department’s Regulatory Reform
Task Force will consider public
comments as it conducts its own
evaluation of the Department’s
regulations in order to identify
candidate regulations for repeal,
replacement, or modification.
The Department notes that this
Request for Comment is issued solely
for information and planning purposes.
The Department will give careful
consideration to the comments, and may
use them as appropriate during its
review, but we do not anticipate
providing a point-by-point response to
each comment submitted. While
responses to this Request for Comments
do not bind the Department to any
further actions related to the response,
all submissions will be made publicly
available on https://www.regulations.gov.
