When President Donald Trump in his first days in office made good on a campaign promise to cut red tape by eliminating unnecessary regulations, workers at federal agencies knew they’d suddenly be very busy. Perhaps nowhere was this more true than at the FAA, where the enactment of new rules in the near future would seem to require a top-down review of the Federal Aviation Regulations aimed at combining, rewriting and eliminating rules already on the books.
Trump Executive Order on Regulations Means Potentially Big Changes for the FARs
Key Takeaways:
- President Trump's executive order mandates federal agencies, particularly the FAA, to reduce regulations by eliminating unnecessary or outdated rules.
- The FAA faces the complex task of simultaneously introducing new, less bureaucratic regulations (like BasicMed and the Part 23 rewrite) and cutting existing red tape as per the executive order.
- It is uncertain whether the administration's temporary freeze on new regulations will delay the enactment of reforms like BasicMed and the Part 23 rewrite, despite their goal of reducing bureaucracy.
- The Federal Aviation Regulations are rife with outdated and duplicated rules, offering significant opportunities for streamlining and reducing costs and bureaucracy.
