White House Issues Regulation Deadline

White House chief of staff Joshua Bolton has issued a memo saying he doesn't want cabinet departments or agencies to issue any new regulations after November 1. Bolton said the purpose of the memo was to remind administration officials to “resist the historical tendency of administrations to increase regulatory activity in their final months.” Bolton's memo indicated that the Nov. 1 deadline was firm “except in extraordinary circumstances.” He added that regulations intended “to be finalized in this administration should be proposed no later than June 1.”
