In February, President Trump ordered federal agencies to form task forces charged with finding regulations to weaken or eliminate. While the names of appointees to executive-agency task forces are typically made public, some agencies are refusing to reveal who is on their panels. The New York Times and ProPublica have been trying to identify them — through interviews, public records and Freedom of Information Act requests — but many still remain unknown.

Why is this important? Identifying task-force members allows us to examine their backgrounds for potential conflicts. We've already found that many may be reviewing regulations that their previous employers tried to weaken or kill, and a couple may personally profit if regulatory changes are made.

Here's who we've found so far. If you know additional names or information about these task forces, contact us at [email protected] or via Signal at 213-271-7217. We also have a guide on how to securely send information to ProPublica. | Related story »
