SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 24, 2017, President Trump signed
Executive Order 13777, ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,''
which established a federal policy ``to alleviate unnecessary
regulatory burdens'' on the American people. Section 3(a) of the EO
directs federal agencies to establish a Regulatory Reform Task Force
(Task Force). One of the duties of the Task Force is to evaluate
existing regulations and ``make recommendations to the agency head
regarding their repeal, replacement, or modification.'' The EO further
asks that each Task Force ``attempt to identify regulations that:
    (i) Eliminate jobs, or inhibit job creation;
    (ii) are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective;
    (iii) impose costs that exceed benefits;
    (iv) create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with
regulatory reform initiatives and policies;
    (v) are inconsistent with the requirements of section 515 of the
Treasury and General Government Appropriates Act, 2001 (44 U.S.C. 3516
note), or the guidance issued pursuant to that provision in particular
those regulations that rely in whole or in part on data, information,
or methods that are not publicly available or that are insufficiently
transparent to meet the standard of reproducibility; or
    (vi) derive from or implement Executive Orders or other
Presidential directives that have been subsequently rescinded or
substantially modified.''
    Section 3(e) of the E.O. calls on the Task Force to ``seek input
and other assistance, as permitted by law, from entities significantly
affected by Federal regulations, including State, local, and tribal
governments, small businesses, consumers, non-governmental
organizations, and trade associations'' on regulations that meet some
or all of the criteria above. Through this notice, EPA is soliciting
such input from the public to inform its Task Force's evaluation of
existing regulations. EPA requests that commenters be as specific as
possible, include any supporting data or other information such as cost
information, provide a Federal Register (FR) or Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) citation when referencing a specific regulation, and
provide specific suggestions regarding repeal, replacement or
modification. Although the agency will not respond to individual
comments, the EPA values public feedback and will give careful
consideration to all input that it receives. EPA will also be
conducting outreach on this same topic. Information about opportunities
for engagement with the agency will be available on https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/regulatory-reform.

    Dated: April 10, 2017.
Samantha K. Dravis,
Regulatory Reform Officer and Associate Administrator, Office of
Policy.
