Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies
This executive order subjects all independent regulatory agencies to presidential supervision and OIRA review of significant regulations, establishes White House liaisons in those agencies, gives OMB authority to adjust their budget apportionments, and declares that the President and Attorney General's legal interpretations are binding on all executive branch employees.
Identifying and Reducing Regulatory Burdens
This executive order directs federal agencies to conduct ongoing retrospective reviews of existing regulations to identify outdated or burdensome rules, with emphasis on reducing costs and paperwork while protecting public health and safety. It mandates regular public participation, prioritizes reforms that save money and reduce burdens on small businesses, and requires agencies to report progress to OIRA semi-annually starting in September 2012.
Further Amendment to Executive Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning and Review
This executive order amends the Clinton-era regulatory review framework (EO 12866) to expand White House oversight to agency "guidance documents"—not just formal regulations. It requires agencies to identify specific market failures before regulating, creates a new category of "significant guidance documents" subject to OIRA review, mandates each agency designate a Presidential Appointee as Regulatory Policy Officer, and requires aggregate cost-benefit estimates for annual regulatory plans.
