Only One USDA Reg On Biden Review List

The incoming Biden administration plans a review of scores of regulations put forth by the Trump administration, many of them dealing with energy and climate issues.

USDA only had one regulation show up on the lengthy list – a rule on “Special Areas; Roadless Area Conservation; National Forest System Lands in Alaska.”

However, the biggest list of regulations that will be reviewed were from EPA with 48. One that ag interests will be watching closely is the definition of the definition of Waters of the United States that was issued in April as part of the Trump administration's actions to get rid of the WOTUS rule propagated by the Obama administration.

A total of 31 rules issued by the Interior Department will be covered by the review.
