President Obama, in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said that seven proposed federal regulations could cost a total of $109.5 billion.

The letter was in response to a request from Boehner for a list of regulations that could cost more than $1 billion, as Republicans have argued that the growing regulatory burden has hindered job creation.

Obama listed the following seven in his response, the largest being EPA air quality standards regulations that could cost anywhere from $19 billion to $90 billion.
