BREAKING: BOEHNER ASKS OBAMA FOR INFO ON FEDERAL REGS -- In a letter that will be sent to the White House today, House Speaker John Boehner reiterates a request he made last year that the administration identify the economic impact of all of the regulations it is seeking to implement that would have an economic impact of more than $1 billion. "This year the Administration's current regulatory agenda identifies 219 planned new regulations that have estimated annual costs in excess of $100 million each. That's almost a 15 percent increase over last year, and appears to contradict public suggestions by the Administration this week that the regulatory burden on American job creators is being scaled back," Boehner writes. "I was startled to learn that the EPA estimates that at least one of its proposed rules will cost our economy as much as $90 billion per year. The Administration has not disclosed how many of the other 218 planned rules will cost more than $1 billion, nor identified these rules.

This information is of great relevance to the American people, who face so much uncertainty about these new regulatory costs, and to the Congress, where we continue to aim to work with you in relieving unnecessary burdens and helping employers move forward to create jobs.

... I ask that you provide this information by the time Congress reconvenes, so that the information will be available as the House considers legislation requiring a congressional review and approval of any proposed federal government regulation that will have asignificant impact on the economy as we continue our efforts to remove impediments to job creation and economic growth for the American people."
