A new executive order freezes all pending federal regulations until the incoming administration reviews them. Rules not yet published will be withdrawn, while those already published may face a 60-day delay for further evaluation. The goal is to ensure new leadership can assess regulatory policies before they take effect. Emergency or legally required rules may be exempt. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will oversee the process and determine next steps for each regulation.
