On Jan. 20, the Trump Administration issued a memo to the heads of all executive departments and agencies freezing new and pending federal regulatory activity until the President's appointees or designees have had the opportunity to review any new, recently finalized or pending regulations. The memo, which is common for an incoming administration, addresses regulations that have been sent to the Office of the Federal Register but not yet published, as well as regulations that have been published in the Federal Register but were not yet effective on Jan. 20.
The memo instructs federal agencies to withdraw any regulation not yet published for review and approval by the Trump Administration. In addition, it temporarily postpones the effective date of any regulations that were not yet in effect by Jan. 20 for at least 60 days following the issuance of the memo, subject to review and approval by Trump appointees.
