"Some of President Joe Biden’s big-ticket environmental rules aren’t yet finished, and allies of the administration are getting antsy about the pileup.
The administration is facing a deadline this spring to finalize rules to ensure that they’re shielded from procedural rollbacks in the event that Republicans take hold of Congress and the White House next year. Complicating matters even further is the fact that the deadline isn’t yet clear — and won’t be known until months after rules are completed.
Advocates of tougher environmental regulations watched as then-President Donald Trump used the Congressional Review Act in 2017 to unwind some of the Obama administration’s environmental rules, and they don’t want that to happen again as Biden makes an aggressive push to roll out consequential regulations across the government."
