The latest Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (“spring agenda”) continues this administration’s trend of adding fewer new rules and reexamining older ones. These semiannual agendas provide insight into federal agency priorities for the coming year.

Some highlights of the spring agenda are discussed below.
