the duties of the Task Force is to 

evaluate existing regulations and ‘‘make 

recommendations to the agency head

that each Task Force ‘‘attempt to 

identify regulations that: 

(i) Eliminate jobs, or inhibit job

exceed benefits; (iv) create a serious 

inconsistency or otherwise interfere

regulations that rely in whole or in part 

on data, information, or methods that 

are not publicly available or that are 

insufficiently transparent to meet the 

standard of reproducibility; or (vi) 

derive from or implement Executive 

Orders or other Presidential directives 

that have been subsequently rescinded 

or substantially modified.’’ 

Section 3(e) of the E.O. 13777 calls on 

the Task Force to ‘‘seek input and other
