Trump Adminstration Will Demand 2 Regulations Axed for Every 1 Issued

released Monday evening. His campaign proposals on regulatory overhaul were expected to have a likely influence on the FCC if implemented in certain ways (see 1610190038). Free State Foundation President Randolph May welcomed the opportunity of unified GOP government to take on FCC rules. “It’s undeniable that the Obama administration’s FCC has been on a regulatory binge, adopting a number of major overly burdensome and unduly costly new rules, despite the lack of evidence of market failure or consumer harm,” May wrote in an opinion piece for The Washington Times, published Monday, calling the net neutrality order one example and questioning agency actions on the set-top box proceeding and on zero rating: “Certainly, the mere existence of the agency’s investigation into these free data plans or others has a chilling effect as service providers weigh whether to risk offering other innovative plans that might be popular with consumers.” Trump also will ask the DOD and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to put together a “comprehensive” plan to protect vital infrastructure from cyberattacks and issue a notification of intent to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, he said in the video. “My agenda will be based on a simple core principle -- putting America first,” he said. Transition spokesman Jason Miller told reporters Tuesday this is “a partial list of some of the Day 1 actions” expected for the Trump administration.
