根据美国宪法和法律赋予我的总统权力，特此命令：

第 1 节 背景。美国拥有丰富的能源和自然资源，这些资源在历史上一直是我们国家经济繁荣的动力。近年来，繁琐的、出于意识形态目的的法规阻碍了这些资源的开发，限制了可靠且价格合理的电力的生产，减少了就业机会，并给我们的公民带来了高昂的能源成本。这些高昂的能源成本推高了运输、供暖、公用事业、农业和制造业的成本，同时削弱了我们的国家安全，给美国消费者带来了沉重的打击。

因此，释放美国可负担且可靠的能源和自然资源符合国家利益。这将恢复美国的繁荣——包括那些近年来被我们的经济遗忘的男男女女。它还将重建我们国家的经济和军事安全，通过实力实现和平。

第 2 节 政策。美国的政策是：

（a）鼓励在联邦土地和水域（包括外大陆架）进行能源勘探和生产，以满足我国公民的需求，并巩固美国未来长期全球能源领先地位；

（b）确立我们作为非燃料矿物（包括稀土矿物）主要生产和加工的地位，这将在国内创造就业机会和繁荣，加强美国及其盟国的供应链，并减少恶意和敌对国家的全球影响力；

(c) 确保美国每个州和领地都能随时获得充足可靠的能源供应，保护美国的经济和国家安全以及军事准备；

(d) 确保所有与能源有关的监管要求都以明确适用的法律为依据；

(e) 取消“电动汽车强制令”，促进消费者真正的选择，这对于经济增长和创新至关重要，具体方式包括消除影响机动车准入的监管障碍；确保消费者在汽车选择方面享有公平的监管环境；在适当情况下终止限制汽油动力汽车销售的州排放豁免；考虑取消不公平的补贴和其他政府强加的、考虑不周的市场扭曲政策。这些政策偏袒电动汽车，并迫使个人、私营企业和政府实体都购买电动汽车，导致其他类型的汽车买不起；

(f) 保障美国人民自由选择各种商品和电器，包括但不限于灯泡、洗碗机、洗衣机、煤气炉、热水器、马桶和淋浴喷头，并促进制造业和家电行业的市场竞争和创新；(g) 确保

在评估一项规则、法规或行动的全球影响时，应将其与国内成本和收益分开报告，以促进合理的监管决策，并优先考虑美国人民的利益；

(h) 保证所有行政部门和机构（机构）都提供机会征求公众意见以及进行严格的同行评审的科学分析；

（i）确保除非法律要求，否则不得以违反本节所述原则的方式使用联邦资金。

第三节立即审查所有可能对国内能源资源开发造成负担的机构行为。 (a) 所有机构负责人应审查所有现行法规、命令、指导文件、政策、和解协议、同意令和任何其他机构行为（统称为机构行为），以确定哪些机构行为对国内能源资源的识别、开发或使用造成不当负担——特别关注石油、天然气、煤炭、水电、生物燃料、关键矿产和核能资源——或与本命令第二节所述政策不一致的行为，包括对消费者选择车辆和家电的限制。

(b) 在本命令发布之日起 30 天内，各机构负责人应与管理和预算办公室 (OMB) 主任和国家经济委员会 (NEC) 主任协商，制定并开始实施行动计划，以尽快并符合适用法律的方式暂停、修改或撤销根据本节 (a) 款确定为过度负担的所有机构行动。任何机构负责人如果确定该机构没有本节 (a) 款所述的机构行动，应向 OMB 主任提交一份书面声明，如果 OMB 主任未确定该机构确实有本款所述的机构行动，则该机构将不再承担本节规定的任何责任。

(c) 各机构应及时通知司法部长根据本节 (a) 款采取的任何措施，以便司法部长可以根据情况：

(i) 向对此类行动可能相关的未决诉讼有管辖权的任何法院提供本行政命令和任何此类行动的通知；以及

(ii) 要求该法院中止或以其他方式推迟进一步的诉讼，或寻求与本命令一致的其他适当救济，直至完成本命令中描述的行政行动。

(d) 根据本命令第 2 节概述的政策，司法部长应考虑是否应通过中止或其他救济解决针对非法、危险或有害政策的未决诉讼。

第 4 节 撤销和修订某些总统和监管行动。 (a) 撤销以下内容并废除其中设立的任何办公室：

(b) 与美国气候队有关的所有活动、计划和运营，包括任何机构采取的行动，应立即终止。在本命令发布之日起一天内，内政部长应向 2023 年 12 月“美国气候队谅解备忘录”的所有各方提交一封终止备忘录的信函，备忘录各方负责人应以书面形式同意终止。

(c) 分配给本节 (a) 款废除的实体或计划的任何资产、资金或资源应根据适用法律重新分配或处置。

(d) 任何已采取行动执行第 (a) 款中规定的办公室和计划的机构的负责人应采取一切必要措施确保终止所有此类行动，或在必要、适当或法律要求的情况下，将此类活动转交给其他机构或实体。

(e) 美国与任何第三方之间为本节第 (a) 款中废除的实体或计划而签订的任何合同或协议，或为促进这些实体或计划而签订的任何合同或协议，应在法律允许的范围内尽快为方便或其他原因终止。

第 5 节 通过高效许可释放能源主导地位。 (a) 1977 年 5 月 24 日第 11991 号行政命令（关于保护和提高环境质量）现予撤销。

(b) 为加快和简化许可流程，在本命令发布之日起 30 天内，环境质量委员会 (CEQ) 主席应就实施《国家环境政策法》(NEPA)（42 USC 4321 等）提供指导，并提议撤销 CEQ 的《国家环境政策法》(NEPA) 法规（40 CFR 1500 等）。

(c) 指导意见出台后，CEQ 主席应召集一个工作组，协调机构级实施条例的修订，以保持一致性。第 (b) 款中的指导意见和由此产生的任何实施条例必须加快许可审批，并满足《2023 年财政责任法》（公法 118-5）规定的期限。根据适用法律，所有机构必须优先考虑效率和确定性，而不是任何其他目标（包括激进团体的目标），这些目标与本命令第 2 节中规定的政策目标不符，或可能增加许可过程的延迟和模糊性。

(d) 国防部长、内政部部长、农业部部长、商务部部长、住房和城市发展部部长、交通部部长、能源部部长、国土安全部部长、环境保护署 (EPA) 署长、CEQ 主席以及其他任何相关机构的负责人应尽一切努力消除各自许可流程中的所有延误，包括但不限于使用一般许可和规则许可。对于机构负责人认为对国家经济或国家安全至关重要的任何项目，机构应使用一切可能的权力，包括紧急权力，加快联邦许可证的审批。机构应与项目发起人密切合作，最终实现许可项目的建设或开发。

(e) 国家能源委员会主任和立法事务办公室主任应联合向国会提出建议，该建议应：

(i) 促进州际能源运输和其他关键能源基础设施的许可和建设，包括但不限于管道，特别是在近年来缺乏此类发展的地区； (ii)为

联邦许可程序提供更大的确定性，包括但不限于简化《国家环境政策法》应用的司法审查。

第 6 节 优先考虑环境分析的准确性。 (a) 在所有联邦许可裁决或监管过程中，所有机构应仅遵守有关环境考虑的立法要求，超出这些要求的任何考虑均应予以消除。在满足所有这些要求时，机构应严格使用其掌握的最严格的评估方法，不得使用武断或出于意识形态动机的方法。

(b) 根据第 13990 号行政命令设立的温室气体社会成本跨部门工作组 (IWG) 特此解散，IWG 发布的任何指导、指示、建议或文件均被撤回，因为不再代表政府政策，包括：

(i) 2021 年 1 月 27 日的总统备忘录（通过科学诚信和循证政策制定恢复对政府的信任）；

(ii) 2023 年 11 月温室气体监测和测量跨部门工作组的报告（推进美国温室气体综合测量、监测和信息系统的国家战略）；

(iii) 2021 年 2 月的技术支持文件（第 13990 号行政命令下的碳、甲烷和一氧化二氮的社会成本中期估计）；以及

(iv) 温室气体社会成本的估计，包括碳的社会成本、甲烷的社会成本或一氧化二氮的社会成本的估计，全部或部分基于 IWG 的工作或指导。

(c) “碳的社会成本”的计算存在逻辑缺陷、缺乏实证科学基础、政治化和缺乏立法基础。它的滥用会任意减缓监管决策，并使美国经济在国际上失去竞争力，通过让效率较低的外国能源生产商在全球能源和自然资源市场中占据更大的份额，鼓励人类对环境产生更大的影响。因此，在本命令发布之日起 60 天内，环保署署长应发布指导意见，以解决这些有害和不利的不足之处，包括考虑从任何联邦许可或监管决定中删除“碳的社会成本”计算。

(d) 在根据本节 (c) 款发布指导意见之前，各机构应确保对机构行动导致的温室气体排放变化价值的评估，包括考虑国内与国际影响以及评估适当的折现率，在法律允许的范围内，与 OMB 2003 年 9 月 17 日发布的 A-4 号通函（监管分析）中的指导意见相一致。

(e) 此外，各机构负责人应根据适用法律，酌情启动程序，对任何规则、法规、政策或行动进行必要的修改，以确保与监管分析保持一致。

（f）自本命令发布之日起 30 天内，环境保护署署长应与任何其他相关机构的负责人合作，向管理预算办公室主任提交联合建议，说明署长调查结果的合法性和持续适用性，即“《清洁空气法》第 202（a）节规定的温室气体危害和成因或促成调查结果”，最终规则，74 FR 66496（2009 年 12 月 15 日）。

第 7 节 终止绿色新政。 (a) 所有机构应立即暂停通过《2022 年通胀削减法案》（公法 117-169）或《基础设施投资和就业法案》（公法 117-58）拨付的资金，包括但不限于通过国家电动汽车基础设施公式计划和充电和加油基础设施自由裁量补助计划提供的电动汽车充电站资金，并应审查其发放补助、贷款、合同或此类拨款的任何其他财务支出的流程、政策和计划，以确保符合法律和本命令第 2 节中概述的政策。在本命令发布之日起 90 天内，所有机构负责人应向国家经济委员会主任和美国行政管理和预算办公室主任提交一份报告，详细说明本次审查的结果，包括加强与第 2 节所述政策保持一致的建议。在行政管理和预算办公室主任和总统经济政策助理确定此类支出符合他们选择采纳的审查建议之前，任何机构不得支付本小节 (a) 中确定的任何资金。

(b) 在采购商品和服务、作出租赁决定以及作出其他导致联邦资金支出的安排时，机构应最大限度地优先考虑成本效益、美国工人和企业以及纳税人的钱的合理使用。行政管理和预算办公室主任应最终确定并分发进一步实施本小节的指南。

(c) 所有机构应评估是否可以利用当局和法规的执法自由裁量权来推进本命令第 2 节中概述的政策。在本命令发布之日起 30 天内，各机构应向 OMB 主任提交报告，说明任何此类情况。

第 8 节 保护美国国家安全。（a）指示能源部长尽快重启对液化天然气出口项目批准申请的审查，并遵守适用法律。在评估任何特定申请将带来的“公共利益”时，能源部长应考虑批准该申请对美国的经济和就业影响以及对盟友和合作伙伴安全的影响。

(b) 对于任何拟建的液化天然气出口深水港（项目），如果之前已根据《1974 年深水港法案》（DWPA）、33 USC 1501 等条款签发了有利的决策记录（ROD），海事管理局局长（MARAD）应在本命令发布之日起 30 天内，根据适用法律，确定在 ROD 之后对项目提出的任何改进是否可能导致与最初评估的项目相关的环境后果大不相同的不利环境后果，从而呈现出可预见的不利环境后果的严重不同情况（严重不同的后果）。在作出此项决定时，MARAD 应定性评估项目在有无拟议改进的情况下在不利环境后果方面的差异，包括最终环境影响报告（EIS）中未解决的任何潜在后果，根据《国家环境政策法》，该报告应被视为充分的，尽管最终 EIS 之后可能对《国家环境政策法》进行了任何修订。美国海上安全与管理局应将此决定连同详细的理由提交给交通部长和总统。

(c) 根据本节第 (b) 款，如果美国海上安全与管理局确定此类改进不太可能导致严重不同的后果，则应在该决定中包括改进的描述以补充和更新 ROD，如有必要，然后在不迟于 30 天的时间内颁发 DWPA 许可证。

(d) 如果美国海上安全与管理局在征得交通部长同意的情况下确定此类拟议的改进可能会导致严重不同的后果，则应在提交此类决定后 60 天内颁发环境评估 (EA) 来审查此类后果，并且对于未因项目改进而改变的所有其他环境后果，应重申最终环境影响报告的结论。在颁发环境评估后 30 天内，美国海上安全与管理局应颁发 ROD 附录（如有必要），并在 30 天内颁发与 ROD 一致的 DWPA 许可证

。 9. 恢复美国矿产主导地位。（a）内政部长、农业部长、环境保护署署长、CEQ 主席以及任何其他相关机构负责人应酌情确定所有对国内非燃料矿物开采和加工造成不当负担的机构行动，并采取措施修改或撤销此类行动。

（b）内政部长和农业部长应重新评估任何公共土地征用，以进行可能的修改。

(c) 内政部长应指示美国地质调查局局长考虑更新美国地质调查局的关键矿产清单，包括可能包括铀的矿产。

(d) 内政部长应优先努力加快正在进行的美国详细地质测绘，重点是寻找以前未知的关键矿产矿床。

(e) 能源部长应确保关键矿产项目（包括关键矿产加工）获得联邦政府支持，但须视拨款情况而定。

(f) 美国贸易代表应评估海外剥削行为和政府资助的矿产项目是否违法或是否过度加重或限制美国商业。

(g) 商务部长应评估国家对矿产的依赖对国家安全的影响以及采取贸易行动的可能性。

(h) 国土安全部长应评估可能通过强迫劳动生产的矿产数量和流入美国的情况，以及此类流入是否对国家安全构成威胁，并在本命令发布之日起 90 天内将此评估结果提交给国家经济委员会主任。

(i) 国防部长应考虑美国在供应和维护国防储备方面的需求，审查管理国防储备的合法权力和义务，并采取一切适当措施确保国防储备在未来出现短缺时提供充足的关键矿产供应。

(j) 在本命令发布之日起 60 天内，国务卿、商务部长、劳工部长、美国贸易代表和其他相关机构的负责人应向总统经济政策助理提交一份报告，其中包括提高美国矿业和炼油公司在其他矿产资源丰富的国家的竞争力的政策建议。

(k) 国务卿应考虑通过四方安全对话促进美国境内矿产开采和加工的机会。

第 10 节 总则。 (a) 本命令的任何内容不得解释为损害或以其他方式影响：

(b) 本命令应以符合适用法律的方式实施，并取决于拨款情况。

(c) 本命令并不旨在也不会产生任何权利或利益，无论是实质性的还是程序性的，任何一方均可依据法律或衡平法对美国、其部门、机构或实体、其官员、雇员或代理人或任何其他人强制执行。

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Background. America is blessed with an abundance of energy and natural resources that have historically powered our Nation’s economic prosperity. In recent years, burdensome and ideologically motivated regulations have impeded the development of these resources, limited the generation of reliable and affordable electricity, reduced job creation, and inflicted high energy costs upon our citizens. These high energy costs devastate American consumers by driving up the cost of transportation, heating, utilities, farming, and manufacturing, while weakening our national security.

It is thus in the national interest to unleash America’s affordable and reliable energy and natural resources. This will restore American prosperity —- including for those men and women who have been forgotten by our economy in recent years. It will also rebuild our Nation’s economic and military security, which will deliver peace through strength.

Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States:

(a) to encourage energy exploration and production on Federal lands and waters, including on the Outer Continental Shelf, in order to meet the needs of our citizens and solidify the United States as a global energy leader long into the future;

(b) to establish our position as the leading producer and processor of non-fuel minerals, including rare earth minerals, which will create jobs and prosperity at home, strengthen supply chains for the United States and its allies, and reduce the global influence of malign and adversarial states;

(c) to protect the United States’s economic and national security and military preparedness by ensuring that an abundant supply of reliable energy is readily accessible in every State and territory of the Nation;

(d) to ensure that all regulatory requirements related to energy are grounded in clearly applicable law;

(e) to eliminate the “electric vehicle (EV) mandate” and promote true consumer choice, which is essential for economic growth and innovation, by removing regulatory barriers to motor vehicle access; by ensuring a level regulatory playing field for consumer choice in vehicles; by terminating, where appropriate, state emissions waivers that function to limit sales of gasoline-powered automobiles; and by considering the elimination of unfair subsidies and other ill-conceived government-imposed market distortions that favor EVs over other technologies and effectively mandate their purchase by individuals, private businesses, and government entities alike by rendering other types of vehicles unaffordable;

(f) to safeguard the American people’s freedom to choose from a variety of goods and appliances, including but not limited to lightbulbs, dishwashers, washing machines, gas stoves, water heaters, toilets, and shower heads, and to promote market competition and innovation within the manufacturing and appliance industries;

(g) to ensure that the global effects of a rule, regulation, or action shall, whenever evaluated, be reported separately from its domestic costs and benefits, in order to promote sound regulatory decision making and prioritize the interests of the American people;

(h) to guarantee that all executive departments and agencies (agencies) provide opportunity for public comment and rigorous, peer-reviewed scientific analysis; and

(i) to ensure that no Federal funding be employed in a manner contrary to the principles outlined in this section, unless required by law.

Sec. 3. Immediate Review of All Agency Actions that Potentially Burden the Development of Domestic Energy Resources. (a) The heads of all agencies shall review all existing regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, settlements, consent orders, and any other agency actions (collectively, agency actions) to identify those agency actions that impose an undue burden on the identification, development, or use of domestic energy resources — with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, biofuels, critical mineral, and nuclear energy resources — or that are otherwise inconsistent with the policy set forth in section 2 of this order, including restrictions on consumer choice of vehicles and appliances.

(b) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the head of each agency shall, in consultation with the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the National Economic Council (NEC), develop and begin implementing action plans to suspend, revise, or rescind all agency actions identified as unduly burdensome under subsection (a) of this section, as expeditiously as possible and consistent with applicable law. The head of any agency who determines that such agency does not have agency actions described in subsection (a) of this section shall submit to the Director of OMB a written statement to that effect and, absent a determination by the Director of OMB that such agency does have agency actions described in this subsection, shall have no further responsibilities under this section.

(c) Agencies shall promptly notify the Attorney General of any steps taken pursuant to subsection (a) of this section so that the Attorney General may, as appropriate:

(i) provide notice of this Executive Order and any such actions to any court with jurisdiction over pending litigation in which such actions may be relevant; and

(ii) request that such court stay or otherwise delay further litigation, or seek other appropriate relief consistent with this order, pending the completion of the administrative actions described in this order.

(d) Pursuant to the policy outlined in section 2 of this order, the Attorney General shall consider whether pending litigation against illegal, dangerous, or harmful policies should be resolved through stays or other relief.

Sec. 4. Revocation of and Revisions to Certain Presidential and Regulatory Actions. (a) The following are revoked and any offices established therein are abolished:

(i) Executive Order 13990 of January 20, 2021 (Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis);

(ii) Executive Order 13992 of January 20, 2021 (Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation);

(iii) Executive Order 14008 of January 27, 2021 (Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad);

(iv) Executive Order 14007 of January 27, 2021 (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology);

(v) Executive Order 14013 of February 4, 2021 (Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs to Resettle Refugees and Planning for the Impact of Climate Change on Migration);

(vi) Executive Order 14027 of May 7, 2021 (Establishment of the Climate Change Support Office);

(vii) Executive Order 14030 of May 20, 2021 (Climate-Related Financial Risk);

(x) Executive Order 14072 of April 22, 2022 (Strengthening the Nation’s Forests, Communities, and Local Economies);

(xi) Executive Order 14082 of September 12, 2022 (Implementation of the Energy and Infrastructure Provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022); and

(xii) Executive Order 14096 of April 21, 2023 (Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All).

(b) All activities, programs, and operations associated with the American Climate Corps, including actions taken by any agency shall be terminated immediately. Within one day of the date of this order, the Secretary of the Interior shall submit a letter to all parties to the “American Climate Corps Memorandum of Understanding” dated December 2023 to terminate the memorandum, and the head of each party to the memorandum shall agree to the termination in writing.

(c) Any assets, funds, or resources allocated to an entity or program abolished by subsection (a) of this section shall be redirected or disposed of in accordance with applicable law.

(d) The head of any agency that has taken action respecting offices and programs in subsection (a) shall take all necessary steps to ensure that all such actions are terminated or, if necessary, appropriate, or required by law, that such activities are transitioned to other agencies or entities.

(e) Any contract or agreement between the United States and any third party on behalf of the entities or programs abolished in subsection (a) of this section, or in furtherance of them, shall be terminated for convenience, or otherwise, as quickly as permissible under the law.

Sec. 5. Unleashing Energy Dominance through Efficient Permitting. (a) Executive Order 11991 of May 24, 1977 (Relating to protection and enhancement of environmental quality) is hereby revoked.

(b) To expedite and simplify the permitting process, within 30 days of the date of this order, the Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) shall provide guidance on implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., and propose rescinding CEQ’s NEPA regulations found at 40 CFR 1500 et seq.

(c) Following the provision of the guidance, the Chairman of CEQ shall convene a working group to coordinate the revision of agency-level implementing regulations for consistency. The guidance in subsection (b) and any resulting implementing regulations must expedite permitting approvals and meet deadlines established in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (Public Law 118-5). Consistent with applicable law, all agencies must prioritize efficiency and certainty over any other objectives, including those of activist groups, that do not align with the policy goals set forth in section 2 of this order or that could otherwise add delays and ambiguity to the permitting process.

(d) The Secretaries of Defense, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, Homeland Security, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Chairman of CEQ, and the heads of any other relevant agencies shall undertake all available efforts to eliminate all delays within their respective permitting processes, including through, but not limited to, the use of general permitting and permit by rule. For any project an agency head deems essential for the Nation’s economy or national security, agencies shall use all possible authorities, including emergency authorities, to expedite the adjudication of Federal permits. Agencies shall work closely with project sponsors to realize the ultimate construction or development of permitted projects.

(e) The Director of the NEC and the Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs shall jointly prepare recommendations to Congress, which shall:

(i) facilitate the permitting and construction of interstate energy transportation and other critical energy infrastructure, including, but not limited to, pipelines, particularly in regions of the Nation that have lacked such development in recent years; and

(ii) provide greater certainty in the Federal permitting process, including, but not limited to, streamlining the judicial review of the application of NEPA.

Sec. 6. Prioritizing Accuracy in Environmental Analyses. (a) In all Federal permitting adjudications or regulatory processes, all agencies shall adhere to only the relevant legislated requirements for environmental considerations and any considerations beyond these requirements are eliminated. In fulfilling all such requirements, agencies shall strictly use the most robust methodologies of assessment at their disposal and shall not use methodologies that are arbitrary or ideologically motivated.

(b) The Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (IWG), which was established pursuant to Executive Order 13990, is hereby disbanded, and any guidance, instruction, recommendation, or document issued by the IWG is withdrawn as no longer representative of governmental policy including:

(i) the Presidential Memorandum of January 27, 2021 (Restoring Trust in Government Through Scientific Integrity and Evidence-Based Policymaking);

(ii) the Report of the Greenhouse Gas Monitoring and Measurement Interagency Working Group of November 2023 (National Strategy to Advance an Integrated U.S. Greenhouse Gas Measurement, Monitoring, and Information System);

(iii) the Technical Support Document of February 2021 (Social Cost of Carbon, Methane, and Nitrous Oxide Interim Estimates under Executive Order 13990); and

(iv) estimates of the social cost of greenhouse gases, including the estimates for the social cost of carbon, the social cost of methane, or the social cost of nitrous oxide based, in whole or in part, on the IWG’s work or guidance.

(c) The calculation of the “social cost of carbon” is marked by logical deficiencies, a poor basis in empirical science, politicization, and the absence of a foundation in legislation. Its abuse arbitrarily slows regulatory decisions and, by rendering the United States economy internationally uncompetitive, encourages a greater human impact on the environment by affording less efficient foreign energy producers a greater share of the global energy and natural resource market. Consequently, within 60 days of the date of this order, the Administrator of the EPA shall issue guidance to address these harmful and detrimental inadequacies, including consideration of eliminating the “social cost of carbon” calculation from any Federal permitting or regulatory decision.

(d) Prior to the guidance issued pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, agencies shall ensure estimates to assess the value of changes in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from agency actions, including with respect to the consideration of domestic versus international effects and evaluating appropriate discount rates, are, to the extent permitted by law, consistent with the guidance contained in OMB Circular A-4 of September 17, 2003 (Regulatory Analysis).

(e) Furthermore, the head of each agency shall, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, initiate a process to make such changes to any rule, regulation, policy or action as may be necessary to ensure consistency with the Regulatory Analysis.

(f) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Administrator of the EPA, in collaboration with the heads of any other relevant agencies, shall submit joint recommendations to the Director of OMB on the legality and continuing applicability of the Administrator’s findings, “Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act,” Final Rule, 74 FR 66496 (December 15, 2009).

Sec. 7. Terminating the Green New Deal. (a) All agencies shall immediately pause the disbursement of funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-169) or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58), including but not limited to funds for electric vehicle charging stations made available through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program, and shall review their processes, policies, and programs for issuing grants, loans, contracts, or any other financial disbursements of such appropriated funds for consistency with the law and the policy outlined in section 2 of this order. Within 90 days of the date of this order, all agency heads shall submit a report to the Director of the NEC and Director of OMB that details the findings of this review, including recommendations to enhance their alignment with the policy set forth in section 2. No funds identified in this subsection (a) shall be disbursed by a given agency until the Director of OMB and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy have determined that such disbursements are consistent with any review recommendations they have chosen to adopt.

(b) When procuring goods and services, making decisions about leases, and making other arrangements that result in disbursements of Federal funds, agencies shall prioritize cost-effectiveness, American workers and businesses, and the sensible use of taxpayer money, to the greatest extent. The Director of OMB shall finalize and circulate guidelines to further implement this subsection.

(c) All agencies shall assess whether enforcement discretion of authorities and regulations can be utilized to advance the policy outlined in section 2 of this order. Within 30 days of the date of this order, each agency shall submit a report to the Director of OMB identifying any such instances.

Sec. 8. Protecting America’s National Security.(a) The Secretary of Energy is directed restart reviews of applications for approvals of liquified natural gas export projects as expeditiously as possible, consistent with applicable law. In assessing the “Public Interest” to be advanced by any particular application, the Secretary of Energy shall consider the economic and employment impacts to the United States and the impact to the security of allies and partners that would result from granting the application.

(b) With respect to any proposed deepwater port for the export of liquefied natural gas (project) for which a favorable record of decision (ROD) has previously been issued pursuant to the Deepwater Port Act of 1974 (DWPA), 33 U.S.C. 1501 et seq., the Administrator of the Maritime Administration (MARAD) shall, within 30 days of the date of this order and consistent with applicable law, determine whether any refinements to the project proposed subsequent to the ROD are likely to result in adverse environmental consequences that substantially differ from those associated with the originally-evaluated project so as to present a seriously different picture of the foreseeable adverse environmental consequences (seriously different consequences). In making this determination, MARAD shall qualitatively assess any difference in adverse environmental consequences between the project with and without the proposed refinements, including any potential consequences not addressed in the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which shall be considered adequate under NEPA notwithstanding any revisions to NEPA that may have been enacted following the final EIS. MARAD shall submit this determination, together with a detailed justification, to the Secretary of Transportation and to the President.

(c) Pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, if MARAD determines that such refinements are not likely to result in seriously different consequences, it shall include in that determination a description of the refinements to supplement and update the ROD, if necessary and then no later than 30 additional days, he shall issue a DWPA license.

(d) If MARAD determines, with concurrence from the Secretary of Transportation, that such proposed refinements are likely to result in seriously different consequences, it shall, within 60 days after submitting such determination, issue an Environmental Assessment (EA) examining such consequences and, with respect to all other environmental consequences not changed due to project refinements, shall reaffirm the conclusions of the final EIS. Within 30 days after issuing the EA, MARAD shall issue an addendum to the ROD, if necessary, and shall, within 30 additional days, issue a DWPA license consistent with the ROD.

Sec. 9. Restoring America’s Mineral Dominance. (a) The Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Administrator of the EPA, Chairman of CEQ, and the heads of any other relevant agencies, as appropriate, shall identify all agency actions that impose undue burdens on the domestic mining and processing of non-fuel minerals and undertake steps to revise or rescind such actions.

(b) The Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture shall reassess any public lands withdrawals for potential revision.

(c) The Secretary of the Interior shall instruct the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey to consider updating the Survey’s list of critical minerals, including for the potential of including uranium.

(d) The Secretary of the Interior shall prioritize efforts to accelerate the ongoing, detailed geologic mapping of the United States, with a focus on locating previously unknown deposits of critical minerals.

(e) The Secretary of Energy shall ensure that critical mineral projects, including the processing of critical minerals, receive consideration for Federal support, contingent on the availability of appropriated funds.

(f) The United States Trade Representative shall assess whether exploitative practices and state-assisted mineral projects abroad are unlawful or unduly burden or restrict United States commerce.

(g) The Secretary of Commerce shall assess the national security implications of the Nation’s mineral reliance and the potential for trade action.

(h) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall assess the quantity and inflow of minerals that are likely the product of forced labor into the United States and whether such inflows pose a threat to national security and, within 90 days of the date of this order, shall provide this assessment to the Director of the NEC.

(i) The Secretary of Defense shall consider the needs of the United States in supplying and maintaining the National Defense Stockpile, review the legal authorities and obligations in managing the National Defense Stockpile, and take all appropriate steps to ensure that the National Defense Stockpile will provide a robust supply of critical minerals in event of future shortfall.

(j) Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of State, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, the United States Trade Representative, and the heads of any other relevant agencies, shall submit a report to the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy that includes policy recommendations to enhance the competitiveness of American mining and refining companies in other mineral-wealthy nations.

(k) The Secretary of State shall consider opportunities to advance the mining and processing of minerals within the United States through the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue.

Sec. 10. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of OMB relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented in a manner consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
