The Samuel Lawrence Foundation opposes the "Zero-Based Regulating" proposal, arguing that the proposed sunset provisions are operationally unfeasible given the Department of Energy's limited bandwidth and the complexity of the regulations involved. They express concern that the strict timelines could lead to regulatory vacuums and argue that the DOE needs more time to conduct proper cost-benefit analyses and public comment periods.
The Main Street Foundation’s Center for Regulatory Analysis and Engagement (CRAE) supports the Department of Energy's proposal to establish a structured framework for periodic retrospective review and conditional sunset provisions. They argue that this approach strengthens regulatory accountability, improves administrative efficiency, and provides a foundation for continuous regulatory quality improvement through simplification and modernization.

The Conservation Law Foundation, Environmental Defense Fund, and Natural Resources Defense Council submitted joint comments opposing the "Zero-Based Regulating" proposed rule. They argue that the rule is unlawful because it fails to provide adequate notice and comment for the mass sunsetting of regulations, lacks statutory authority, and is arbitrary and capricious.
Battelle Memorial Institute, the operator of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), opposes the proposed sunsetting of several Department of Energy regulations. They argue that removing these regulations would create uncertainty, increase liability, stifle research innovation, and lead to inconsistent standards and pricing across the DOE complex.
A coalition of advocacy organizations, including the Appliance Standards Awareness Project and the Natural Resources Defense Council, supports the Department of Energy's decision to avoid sunsetting energy conservation standards. They argue that the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) prohibits the Department from weakening standards and that sunsetting them would harm consumers, create stranded investments for manufacturers, and undermine regulatory certainty.
The Institute for Policy Integrity at New York University School of Law opposes the Department of Energy's Sunset Rule, arguing that it is arbitrary, capricious, and violates the Administrative Procedure Act. They contend that the rule bypasses meaningful public input, ignores statutory mandates, and fails to consider the costs, benefits, and security implications of sunsetting specific programs.
Our Children’s Trust, a law firm dedicated to representing children's rights, opposes the "Zero-Based Regulating" rule. They argue that the rule is unconstitutional, lacks scientific integrity, and will cause irreparable harm to children's health and rights by facilitating fossil fuel development and dismantling environmental protections.
Persistence Analytics Group LLC supports the concept of disciplined regulatory review but argues that the Department of Energy must implement it with rigorous evidence-based risk screening. They advocate for a structured process to ensure that regulations are not allowed to expire automatically without verifying that such actions won't compromise energy security, safety, or national security.
The Committee to Bridge the Gap, a nuclear policy nonprofit, opposes the proposed rule, calling it morally reprehensible and illegal. They argue that the rule would lead to unacceptable pollution and harm the health of people and the environment, and they urge the DOE to withdraw it.
