H.R. 7592 requires energy and natural resources agencies to place expiration dates, or "sunsets," on their regulations. Existing regulations at the Department of Energy, the Interior Department's various offices, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must expire within one year of the bill's enactment, while new regulations would expire after five years unless extended. Agencies can only extend these expiration dates if they gather public comment and determine the regulation is worth keeping, and each extension cannot exceed five years—though agencies can extend regulations multiple times if they choose. If a regulation expires without being extended, the agency must stop enforcing it and remove it from federal rules. The bill essentially puts energy and environmental regulations on a ticking clock, requiring agencies to periodically justify their continued existence or face automatic elimination.
