Restore Trump DOT “rule on rules” guidance/enforcement reforms (RIN 2105-AE84)
Mandate says Biden unwisely abandoned late-2019 administrative rulemaking/guidance/enforcement procedures and the next Administration should revive them without delay.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 19 (Transportation) — Introduction: return to Trump Administration “rule on rules” approach implemented as RIN 2105-AE84 strengthening removal of outdated regulations and clarifying guidance is not mandatory.
Undo plan
1) Keep APA-compliant guidance practices that protect the public without reimposing paralysis on safety rules.
2) Rescind any revived procedures that unlawfully hobble NHTSA/FAA/FMCSA safety enforcement.
3) Maintain public guidance portals and comment opportunities.
4) Sunset truly obsolete rules via evidence review.
5) Verify: significant rule timelines; enforcement action continuity.
