Trump Administration Unveils Sweeping 702-Rule Regulatory Rollback Targeting ~$1.5 Trillion in Savings
- The Trump administration mapped out a 2026 regulatory agenda eliminating 702 federal rules, projecting about $1.5 trillion in economic savings by end-September, with roughly $1.3 trillion tied to the repeal of the EPA's 2009 greenhouse-gas 'endangerment finding' (Fox Business, https://foxbusiness.com/economy/trump-admin-maps-out-sweeping-rollback-regulations-push-save-1-5t).
- The plan also targets energy-efficiency standards, environmental review requirements for energy projects, and DEI-related rules, framing it as a core economic-growth initiative.
- A formal package of rule withdrawals is expected to flow through agencies in coming weeks, with energy and manufacturing sectors most directly affected.
