Default New faucet - reduced flow

I just installed a new Moen 7545, one handle, pull out kitchen faucet. There is a noticeable reduction in flow from
our previous faucet. I suspect this reduction is due to a government regulation that mandates a reduced flow. There
appears to be nothing wrong with the faucet other than a lower flow rate. Does anyone know what part was changed to
comply with a regulation to reduce flow and can it be replaced with an older version (full flow) part?

Now I have just the opposite. I replaced my 2 handle faucet with a
1 handle Pfister and the flow is greater than it was with the
old one.
