Under the Convessional Review Act, you don’t need 60 votes in the Senate to roll back regulations.

At least WaPo reported that this authority is only for presidential edicts promulgated during the last 60 days of a president's term. These are probably mostly poison pills tossed out by a lame duck president to harm the next president. If the new president doesn't control the Senate, I guess he is stuck with them.

Remember Arsenic in the water?
