Executive Order Trump Launches Massive 10-1 Deregulation Initiative

Date Issued: Jan. 31, 2025

Executive Summary

This executive order establishes that the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will ensure that for every new rule, regulation or guidance issued, that agency must identify at least 10 existing rules, regulations or guidance documents to be repealed. This initiative builds upon the directive during President Trump's first term, which required two existing rules, regulations or guidance documents to be repealed for every new rule, regulation or guidance issued. Furthermore, this order requires that, for the fiscal year 2025, the total incremental cost of new regulations, including repealed, be significantly less than zero.

Policy Actions

• Any new rule, regulation or guidance an agency implements requires them to identify at least 10 to be repealed, enforced by the director of the OMB.
• The total incremental cost of all new regulations, including repealed ones, must be significantly less than zero in the fiscal year 2025.
