 # regulatory-suspensions
-Objective: Identifying and analyzing regulatory suspensions and how presidential administrations use them
 
-[Regulatory suspensions](https://www.theregreview.org/2020/03/16/davis-noll-revesz-regulatory-rollbacks-changed-nature-presidential-power/) "defer compliance by either postponing the compliance dates or putting off a regulation’s effective date, prior to working to change or repeal the regulation’s substantive requirements." Suspensions are one of [several mechanisms](https://regulatorystudies.columbian.gwu.edu/biden-using-multiple-mechanisms-reverse-trumps-regulatory-agenda) that incoming presidents use to reverse the regulatory agenda of the prior administration. Federal agencies publish these postponements in the [Federal Register](https://www.federalregister.gov/), the daily journal of the US government. Understanding the frequency of regulatory suspensions across presidential administrations may help contextualize the usage of this tool of regulatory oversight.

Our objective is to identify regulatory suspensions and analyze how presidential administrations use them differently.
