The statement was sent the day before the U.S. House, controlled by Democrats, is expected to vote on the bill, which would prevent broadband providers from blocking or throttling access to the internet and would prevent these companies from charging fees to access the internet faster. Trump's FCC dismantled these rules in a 2017 vote, arguing that the rules had stifled investment because the rules imposed utility-style regulation on the internet.

The Office of Management and Budget said in its statement that the legislation would nullify the FCC's effort to restore a "light touch" approach to regulation and would tie the hands of the FCC to adapt its regulation in the future.
