SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 24, 2017, the President signed 
Executive Order (E.O.) 13777, ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform 
Agenda,'' which established a Federal policy ``to alleviate unnecessary 
regulatory burdens'' on the American people.
    Section 3(a) of the E.O. directs Federal agencies to establish a 
Regulatory Reform Task Force (Task Force). One of the duties of the 
Task Force is to evaluate existing regulations and ``make 
recommendations to the agency head regarding their repeal, replacement, 
or modification.'' The E.O. further asks that each Task Force ``attempt 
to identify regulations that:
    (i) Eliminate jobs, or inhibit job creation; (ii) are outdated, 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 section 515 of the Treasury and General Government 
Appropriation Act, 2001 (44 U.S.C. 3516 note), or the 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 
of 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or other Presidential directives that have been subsequently rescinded 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 the E.O. 13777 calls on the Task Force to ``seek 
input and other assistance, as permitted by law, from entities 
significantly affected by Federal regulations, including State, local, 
and tribal governments, small businesses, consumers, non-governmental 
organizations, trade associations'' on regulations that meet some or
