President Joe Biden has rolled back executive orders of President Donald Trump aimed at cutting federal regulatory burden, hinting the already enormous regulatory regime may spring back to that of its pre-Trump days.

In two Jan. 20 executive orders, Biden nixed about a dozen orders of Trump’s that pertained to regulatory reform, including one on “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs” and one “Expediting Environmental Reviews and Approvals For High Priority Infrastructure Projects.”
