  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, April 11, 2025 – President **Donald Trump** is directing the federal government to review regulations that could pose anti-competitive restraints on businesses.\n\nPresident Trump signed an _Executive Order on Wednesday_ that directed agency heads such as FCC Chairman **Brendan Carr** to review all regulations within their authority and identify those that stifle competition.\n\nThe order specifically noted that regulations that facilitate monopolies, create or enforce unnecessary barriers to entry, or needlessly burden agency procurement should be included in the review.\n\nAdditionally, the order stipulated that agency heads must provide FTC Chairman **Andrew Ferguson** and Attorney General **Pam Bondi** with a list of anti-competitive regulations, along with proposals to amend or rescind them, within 70 days.\n\nFerguson is required to seek public comment about anti-competitive regulations.\n\nIn a separate _April 9 Memorandum_, Trump ordered agencies to act on another Executive Order, Order 14219, which was signed on February 19.\n\nThis order instructed federal agencies to identify unlawful and potentially unlawful regulations and begin planning to reverse them within 60 days.\n\nPresident Trump emphasized in his Memorandum that agency heads should finalize rules without notice and comment upon the discovery of unlawful regulations if the circumstances are consistent with the good cause exception within the Administrative Procedure Act.\n\nThis exception allows agencies to “dispense with notice-and-comment rulemaking when that process would be ‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’”\n\nTrump’s Executive Order and Memorandum echoed Carr’s _deregulation initiative_, a docket titled “In Re: _Delete, Delete, Delete_.”\n\nThe FCC’s deregulation initiative is designed to seek comment on all of the agency’s regulations, with the goal of finding those that represent unnecessary regulatory burdens.\n\nComments on the docket were due today, with more than 600 already submitted.",
