AFSA Has a List … Wants it Checked Twice
“Uncertainty” is a term being liberally tossed about nowadays as though it were a new concept to Washington. But as AFSA noted in its recent letter to President Trump’s Domestic Policy and National Economic teams, uncertainty has long been engendered by Washington regulators, whether at the CFPB, FTC, FCC or the Department of Defense.
American businesses should have confidence that the rules being set by regulators are clear, have been appropriately vetted, are being administered fairly, and are actually working for both consumers and businesses alike.
AFSA’s letter reinforces its support for President Trump’s executive order for a broad examination by federal department and agency heads to review and rescind regulations that are either unlawful or that undermine the national interest. The EO also includes review of guidance documents, which have been used in the past as back-door rulemaking, rather than the appropriate formal rulemaking process.
AFSA highlighted a number of different policies for review, highlighting the uncertainty and confusion such policies create for businesses, customers, as well as federal regulatory staff who must attempt to implement them.
