Since President Trump's inauguration, the enforcement of pipeline safety rules and other federal regulations has sharply declined, reflecting a strategic shift in the administration's approach to governmental oversight. By halting enforcement of laws, officials argue they reduce burdens on businesses. Critics however contend this undermines the rulemaking process and potentially violates legal requirements. The article details insights from federal employees and experts, highlighting the broader implications of non-enforcement policies on public safety and regulatory frameworks.
"The conscious effort to slow down enforcement on such a broad scale is something we have never seen in previous administrations. It amounts to a dramatic assertion of presidential power and authority."
"When you have a new regulation, it's really, really hard on business... Theyâve got to hire all these engineers and lawyers to figure out, 'What are we going to do with this new regulation?'"
