Agencies must ID anti-competitive rules
Agency leaders must review regulations and list those that block competition or new businesses. Each agency has 70 days to send its list and recommendations to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Attorney General, and the FTC will deliver a consolidated list to OMB within 90 days of getting agency lists. The consolidated recommendations may be considered for inclusion in the Unified Regulatory Agenda for rescission or modification.
Review of licensure and accreditation rules
Agencies must identify regulations that create or facilitate licensure or accreditation requirements that unduly limit competition. Agencies must recommend whether those licensure or accreditation rules should be rescinded or changed.
Review of procurement-related barriers
Agencies must identify regulations that unnecessarily burden the agency's procurement processes and limit companies' ability to compete for government contracts. Agencies should recommend rescission or modification when such procurement rules unduly limit competition.
Public comment window via FTC request
The FTC must issue a request for information within 10 days asking the public to identify rules that limit competition. The public comment period will stay open for 40 days, and responses will be shared with the agency that issued the identified rule.
