WEBINAR: Trump’s "Two-for-One" Executive Order to Reduce Regulation – What Does it Mean for Industry? — C&M's First 100 Days Series

Webinar | 03.02.17, 8:00 AM EST - 8:45 AM EST

On January 30, President Trump – acting on a campaign pledge – issued an Executive Order directing that for every new regulation issued by his Administration, the issuing agency will be required to repeal two other regulations (EO 13771, “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs”). The White House Office of Management and Budget followed up soon after with guidance on how the 2-for-1 EO will be implemented for the remainder of fiscal year 2017. But the big question on everyone’s mind remains: how will the Trump Administration ever be able to pull this off? This webinar will examine the 2-for-1 EO and offer commentary on how agencies might go about trying to comply.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • The legal effect of an EO generally.
  • The scope of the 2-for-1 EO specifically.
  • Challenges agencies will face trying to comply with the 2-for-1 EO.
  • Opportunities for companies and associations with the Administration in light of the 2-for-1 EO.

As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors. ...
