The announcement by the Constitutional Commission of the Mexican Congress said that the agencies expected to close include: the Institute of Transparency, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data; the Federal Telecommunications Institute and the National Competition Commission; the Social Development Policy Evaluation Commission; the National Energy Regulation Commission; the National Hydrocarbon Commission; and the National Education Improvement Commission.

These are organizations whose functions and tasks overlap with many other agencies, making government operations more complicated while spending a large amount of budget each year to operate.

According to calculations, since coming into operation in 1990, these agencies have spent a total of 32.3 billion USD.
