Regulatory Relief To Support Economic Recovery

What it means

This order directs federal agencies to support economic recovery from COVID-19 by identifying and removing regulatory barriers. Agencies must consider temporarily or permanently rescinding, modifying, or waiving regulations that may inhibit economic growth, while maintaining public health and safety protections.

Expected impact

• Potential acceleration of business reopenings through regulatory relief and increased compliance assistance
• More predictable and fair administrative enforcement processes for businesses navigating complex regulations
• Possible permanent removal of certain regulations identified as barriers to economic growth
• Increased efficiency in government as agencies review which COVID-era regulatory flexibilities should remain permanent
• Enhanced business confidence through clearer guidance and more supportive regulatory environment
