Republicans and some business groups say Mr. Obama must jettison a host of other proposed regulations to reverse what they argue is an antibusiness perspective. Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.), said Sunday that Republicans welcomed the decision on air-quality standards but can't yet say that administration posture has fundamentally changed. "It's a welcome sign but there's still more to go if there's really a change," he said. "If he could do a few others like that, that would set us in the right direction."

Still, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a lobby group for business, has noted a change at the White House. Bill Kovacs, a senior vice president at the Chamber, said Mr. Sunstein is far more visible than during the first two years of the administration. And he said Mr. Daley had "changed the climate" at the White House.

"For the first two years, when there was a concern raised about regulation, the sense was they're just moving forward," he said. "Now, at least they're listening."

Political imperatives have influenced the new approach. Mr. Obama's political team helped spur the change, aiming to reposition the president in the political center and win back independent voters who deserted Democrats in 2010.
