The Trump Administration recently released the Spring 2025 edition of its “Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions” (UA). In a new insight, Director of Regulatory Policy Dan Goldbeck summarizes the administration’s planned regulatory and deregulatory actions.

Key points:

• The administration’s Spring UA details thousands of rulemakings agencies plan to promulgate over next year and beyond, giving the public its first real look at the overall contours of its regulatory program in its second term.
• An examination of the data reveals that agencies anticipate much of their near-term activity to be deregulatory in nature, with the higher share of “regulatory” actions currently slated to come later in the term.
• The Department of Transportation claims the most “deregulatory” actions with 285, but – at least by the metrics of this report – it and virtually all other agencies fall short of President Trump’s apparent “10 rules out for every 1 in” goal.
