This 26-page\u2064 report, highlighted by the Washington Examiner, claims that the administration&#8217;s regulatory measures \u2064create significant bureaucratic challenges for businesses and the \u200deconomy, pushing a &#8220;radical, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/citizens-object-to-2020-election\/\" title=\"Citizens Object To 2020 Election\">left-wing agenda<\/a>.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>House\u2063 Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer emphasized the \u200dextensive regulatory framework\u200b established under the \u2064Biden administration, arguing that it leads to higher \u2062business costs, \u2064increased prices, and reduced market\u2063 choices. The report indicates that the Environmental Protection \u200bAgency (EPA) has contributed the \u200dmost\u200d to these regulatory costs, accounting for around $1.3 trillion, with specific mandates like the electric vehicle requirements costing $900 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Republican representatives have criticized these regulations for their detrimental impact \u200bon job security, household expenses, \u200cand small businesses.

It accuses the administration of imposing new and costly bureaucratic hurdles on businesses and the economy to implement a &ldquo;radical, left-wing agenda.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) highlighted the $1.7 trillion figure and said the administration has &ldquo;pushed a whole-of-government regulatory blitz&rdquo; since entering office. Federal rulemaking under Biden has increasingly become a target of Republicans, who want to rein in the administrative state if they win in November.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We know what these new regulatory hurdles mean for the United States: higher costs of doing business, higher prices, and fewer choices in the marketplace,&rdquo; Comer said. &ldquo;This economy simply can&rsquo;t afford to be tied down with red tape or buried under heaps of federal paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Economic prosperity comes with economic opportunity, but the Biden-Harris Administration&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-take-aim-at-federal-regulations\/\" title=\"House GOP Targets Federal Regulations\">extreme regulatory overreach<\/a> has only suffocated the American dream,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Regulatory costs associated with the Environmental Protection Agency were the highest, Republicans on the committee found. The EPA alone accounted for $1.3 trillion of the burden, with the EPA&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-american-voters-reject-bidens-climate-agenda-want-reliable-affordable-domestic-energy\/\" title=\"Poll: American Voters Reject Biden\u2019s Climate Agenda \u2013 Want Reliable, Affordable Domestic Energy\u00a0\">electric vehicle mandate<\/a> for light- and medium-duty vehicles costing $900 billion.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These regulatory burdens jeopardize Americans&rsquo; ability to secure quality jobs, raise costs on American households, and hurt small businesses,&rdquo; said Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX), chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs, in a statement. &ldquo;In the Oversight Committee&rsquo;s staff report, we have exposed the Biden-Harris Administration&rsquo;s extreme regulatory overreach and its negative affect on American taxpayers&rsquo; daily lives.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Rolling back regulations and the rulemaking process more generally has gained a lot of traction within the GOP caucus over the past few years, and former President Donald Trump has signaled that if he is elected to a second term, doing so will be a priority.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have accused federal agencies of using the rulemaking process to circumvent Congress&rsquo;s legislative authority and rework the law to conform to the Left&rsquo;s liberal priorities that would not be able to gain approval from lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>During his first term in office, Trump pushed the idea that for every regulation created, two others must be removed from the books. Earlier this month, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/finance-and-economy\/3144599\/trump-assault-administrative-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>upped that to 10 cut regulations<\/a> for every one added to the federal register.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m proud to be the only president in modern history to achieve a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-calls-for-assault-on-administrative-state-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Trump calls for assault on administrative state - Washington Examiner\">net regulatory reduction<\/a> during my term, and it was a substantial reduction,&rdquo; Trump said during a speech at the Economic Club of New York. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m pledging today that in my second term, we will eliminate a minimum of 10 old regulations for every one new regulation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the GOP takes the Senate and retains the House, Republican lawmakers would also pass legislation to overhaul Biden rules &mdash; and reform the rulemaking and approval process itself.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, one plan is to pass the REINS Act, which would require Congress to approve every new &ldquo;major rule&rdquo; proposed by federal agencies before they go into effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1768692\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1768692\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden&#8217;s administration has added $1.7 trillion in regulatory costs, House Republicans report<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3360,"featured_media":2345621,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/biden-regulatory-costs.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[41665,32502,35077,41664,32076],"class_list":["post-2345620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-1-7-trillion","tag-biden-administration","tag-economic-impact","tag-regulatory-costs","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/biden-regulatory-costs.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3360"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2345620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2345621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2345620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2345620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2345620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
