"A related blog post from RFF Senior Fellows Joshua Linn and Alan Krupnick says that the “plain wording” of EO 13771 and EO 13777, which requires agencies to create task forces to implement the administration's deregulatory agenda, as well as related guidance, places an 'outsized focus on regulator costs but we hope, as some have suggested, that is not what the administration intends.' And it states that signatories’ views are 'their own and should not be attributed to their respective institutions.'"
