Extend OIRA review to independent agencies and revive Trump deregulatory EOs
Mandate directs maintaining EO 12866, extending OIRA standards to historically independent agencies, undoing Biden Circular A-4 changes, reviving EO 13891 guidance review, and reinstating a suite of Trump deregulatory executive orders.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 2 (Executive Office of the President) — OIRA: maintain EO 12866; extend regulatory analysis/OIRA review to independent agencies; undo modifications to EO 12866/Circular A-4; revive EO 13891 guidance review; reinstate EOs 13771, 13777, 13891, 13892, 13893, 13924 §6, 13979, 13980 (with modifications); strengthen EO 13132; update Reagan EO 12630 on takings.
Undo plan
1) Rescind extensions of White House OIRA clearance that strip independent agencies of statutory independence.
2) Restore Circular A-4 updates that account for public benefits, distributional effects, and long-horizon risks where lawfully adopted.
3) Replace blanket deregulatory EOs (one-in-two-out, guidance choke points) with APA-compliant process reforms.
4) Protect agency ability to issue interpretive guidance without politicized OIRA gatekeeping.
5) Verify: Federal Register track of rescinded EOs; independent-agency rule dockets free of improper White House holds.
