President Trump issued two new directives to Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, aimed at revising federal regulations. The directives ordered Secretary Mnuchin to conduct reviews of and report back within 180 days regarding the FDIC’s Orderly Liquidation Authority, which was granted to the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under Dodd-Frank, and the ability of the US Financial Stability Oversight Council to designate nonbank financial firms as systematically important financial institutions and subject to Federal Reserve oversight. Contemporaneously, the President also issued an Executive Order directing Secretary Mnuchin to examine whether any significant tax rules issued on or after January 1, 2016 would impose an undue financial burden on US taxpayers, add undue complexity to the Federal tax laws, or cause the Internal Revenue Service to exceed its statutory authority.
