"Another panelist—Alan J. Krupnick, a senior fellow and co-director of the Resources for the Future Center for Energy and Climate Economics—noted that the Trump Administration’s approach to reducing regulation assumed that retrospective review would identify a lot of inefficient processes that could be streamlined without forgoing any associated benefits. But currently, he said, agencies have insufficient evidence supporting this assumption. Krupnick said that, more worryingly, the executive order does not require agencies to take into account any foregone benefits from the rules they are rescinding, only the costs."
