Washington – The U.S. Treasury Department today released a report detailing its accomplishments in support of the President’s regulatory reform agenda.
“Regulatory reform is a key component of the President’s plan to make American businesses more competitive and create opportunities for hardworking Americans,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. “I’m proud of the diligent work we have done at Treasury to ensure that we have an effective and efficient regulatory system.
