According to the Wall Street Journal, this is quite commonly done by any
incoming new Administration. No big surprise.

These are the so-called "midnight regulations" that are being placed on
temporary hold until they can be reviewed. A couple of examples would be
Bush giving mining companies the right to place mine tailings where they
could pollute the Colorado River and Bush extending the hours commercial
truck drivers can go without resting. The best friend Big Business ever had!

(OT) : ? White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel Halts Pending Rules?

"This afternoon, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel signed a
memorandum sent to all agencies and departments to stop all pending
regulations until a legal and policy review can be conducted by the
Obama administration," the White House said in a statement.

On What "Authority" Does the White House Chief of Staff
[WHCoS] Order Any Government Department or Agency ?

IIRC - the WHCoS can only prepare a Memo for the
US President's Signature. {That's an Executive Order}
