I am guessing you don't understand how the process operates. If they didn't require congressional approval or the president's signature, then it was a set of regulations proposed by the bureaucracy and it was stripped out by their bosses. Who are Bush appointees.

Actually, most of those regulators are "career employees", not political ones.

And it is doubtful ANY regulations were cut without considerable involvement of the appropriate committees. As an example, the Dept. of the Treasury would never change regulations without consulting with the Staff of the JCT, at least not on any significant issue. And frankly, there is usually a period during which "proposed" regulations can be evaluated and commented upon.
