In November 2021, the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) reviewed 41 significant regulatory actions issued by federal agencies. OIRA approved three of these rules with no changes and approved the intent of 37 rules while recommending changes to their content.

OIRA reviewed 58 significant regulatory actions in November 2020, 46 significant regulatory actions in November 2019, 36 significant regulatory actions in November 2018, and 15 significant regulatory actions in November 2017. During the Obama administration from 2009-2016, OIRA reviewed an average of 47 significant regulatory actions each November.

OIRA has reviewed a total of 466 significant rules in 2021. The agency reviewed a total of 676 significant rules in 2020, 475 significant rules in 2019, 355 significant rules in 2018, and 237 significant rules in 2017.

​​OIRA is responsible for reviewing and coordinating what it deems to be all significant regulatory actions made by federal agencies, with the exception of independent federal agencies. Significant regulatory actions include agency rules that have had or may have a large impact on the economy, environment, public health, or state and local governments and communities. These regulatory actions may also conflict with other regulations or with the priorities of the president.
