In a statement to The Hill, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said the goal is to identify which regulations can be axed in order to help the new administration “hit the ground running on day one.”

“Many of the federal regulations from the Obama administration are crushing small businesses, hurting working families and placing significant burdens on taxpayers,” he said.

“We want to waste no time in helping get government off the backs of Americans and get our country back on a path to liberty, safety, and prosperity for all."

Meadow’s spokesman, Ben Williamson, said the Labor Department’s controversial overtime rule is on the list.

The rule, which was temporarily blocked by a federal judge earlier this month, forces employers to pay overtime to most salaried workers earning less than $47,476 annually. The salary cutoff for overtime pay now is $23,660.

Williamson said the Environmental Protection Agency’s Waters of the U.S. rule, the Labor Department’s fiduciary rule and the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules made the list, too.

So did Obama’s existing immigration program, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative. DACA allows certain people who came to the U.S. illegally as children to stay here and obtain a work permit.

Trump has pledged to make drastic cuts to regulations.

In his first 100 days, he’s planning to issue an executive action to create a two-for-one policy that would require two rules to be eliminated for every new rule created.
