<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peeling back red tape and eliminating redundant regulations sits at the heart of the Trump administration’s economic agenda. That mission went on the road Friday as the Office of Advocacy joined the House Committee on Small Business for the first stop of a new cross-country listening tour focused on small business owners. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Daily Wire spoke with Joe Krenzelok, with the Office of Advocacy, who is representing the agency at the tour&#8217;s opening stop, titled The Open Road: Small Business Conversations Across Main Street America. </span></p>
<p>Krenzelok said the agency has flagged hundreds of regulatory concerns, adding that the difference this time is that those issues are receiving serious attention, creating what he described as a rare opportunity for lasting reform.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He went on to emphasize that the administration’s posture toward small business marks a meaningful shift from past approaches.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“President Trump values the input of small businesses,&#8221; said Krenzelok. </span></p>
<p>Krenzelok will join House Committee on Small Business Chair Roger Williams to hear business owners&#8217; concerns directly.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He noted that a significant portion of the regulatory concerns raised by businesses stem from Environmental Protection Agency rules. Trump nominated Lee Zeldin to lead the EPA, praising him as a “true fighter for America First policies” with a strong legal background. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two months into his new role, Zeldin announced what he described as “31 historic actions in the greatest and most consequential day of deregulation in U.S. history.” The move launched sweeping reviews across the energy sector, including easing restrictions on coal plants, power plants, and oil and gas operations. Among the actions was a rollback of national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Krenzelok told </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Daily Wire </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">he has already seen tangible effects in his region. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I met with a small trucking company that raised concerns about diesel emissions regulations,” he said. “The very next day, Administrator Zeldin came to Iowa and mentioned they would be making adjustments within that.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“That told me that he’s very well in tune with what’s happening on the ground,” Krenzelok added. “It’s very evident to me that this administration is actively seeking input from the ground because they’re addressing issues in real time.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the Office of Advocacy’s first annual <a href="https://advocacy.sba.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/FINAL_First-Year-Report_012026.pdf">report</a>, the agency’s efforts have saved small businesses more than $110 billion in regulatory costs. The report states that, on an annualized basis, first-year savings during Trump&#8217;s second presidential term were more than 35 times those in Biden&#8217;s first year in office. </span></p>
