Reps. James Comer (R-Ky.) and Pat Fallon (R-Texas) have asked for information from the Biden administration on actions they say “upend the regulatory review and analysis process.”

In a May 4 letter to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Shalanda Young and Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) Administrator Richard Revesz, the lawmakers expressed alarm over the implementation of an executive order titled “Modernizing Regulatory Review” and an OMB letter on “Regulatory Analysis.”
