EO 14192 – Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation (Jan 31, 2025)

The executive order requires every federal agency to identify at least ten existing regulations or guidance documents to repeal for each new one, and mandates that total incremental regulatory costs be "significantly less than zero." This global deregulatory budget intensifies pressure to repeal environmental, climate, and health protections across EPA, Interior, Energy, and others, and is being implemented inside resource agencies explicitly as a mandate to "cut all red tape" around extraction projects.
