Reagan Aims at Regulations Cutting Billions in Savings
Washington AP President Reagan's drive to trim federal rules claims potential savings up to 18 billion dollars for business and consumers with larger future benefits. Vice President Bush says it's only the beginning, though estimates vary due to nonuniform measurement. Since taking office 181 regulations reviewed or altered, with most from Transportation HUD and EPA. Initial one time savings projected 15.5 to 18.5 billion, recurring annual 5.5 to 5.9 billion. Agencies report fewer daily proposed rules and a smaller Federal Register, while Energy Department cuts forms and hours from decontrol of oil prices.
