Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction
This executive order directs multiple federal agencies to review and revise regulations related to environmental permitting, energy efficiency standards, and housing programs to reduce barriers to residential construction. It mandates development of best practices for state and local governments to streamline permitting and promotes single-family home construction in Opportunity Zones through tax incentive alignment.
Enabling Competition in the Commercial Space Industry
This executive order directs federal agencies to streamline licensing, environmental reviews, and regulatory requirements for U.S. commercial space launches, reentries, and spaceport infrastructure. It sets specific deadlines for regulatory reforms at DOT, FAA, Commerce, DOD, and NASA, and creates new leadership positions to accelerate commercial space activity by 2030.
Establishing the President's Make America Beautiful Again Commission
This executive order establishes the President's Make America Beautiful Again Commission, chaired by the Secretary of the Interior, to advise on conservation policy, expand public lands access for recreation and hunting, reduce regulatory barriers, and address deferred maintenance in national parks and forests. The Commission includes Cabinet secretaries and senior White House officials but has no independent enforcement authority and is subject to appropriations.
Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security
This executive order accelerates deployment of advanced nuclear reactors at military installations and DOE sites to power AI infrastructure and critical defense facilities, while streamlining export approvals and financing to compete globally against adversaries. It sets hard deadlines for reactor operations by 2028, HALEU fuel bank establishment, and aggressive diplomatic targets for new nuclear cooperation agreements. The order also directs NEPA streamlining, security clearance prioritization, and interagency coordination to overcome regulatory and supply chain barriers.
Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
This executive order directs comprehensive reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to accelerate nuclear power deployment, including structural reorganization, workforce reductions, new fixed licensing deadlines (18 months for new reactors, 1 year for renewals), abandonment of the linear no-threshold radiation model, and streamlined regulations for advanced reactors. The order sets targets to expand U.S. nuclear capacity from ~100 GW to 400 GW by 2050 and establishes an expedited pathway for DOD/DOE-tested reactor designs.
Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy
This executive order directs the Department of Energy to dramatically accelerate testing and deployment of advanced nuclear reactors by streamlining approval processes, creating a pilot program for non-laboratory reactors, and reforming environmental reviews. It sets a goal of achieving criticality in three pilot reactors by July 4, 2026, and aims to enable qualified test reactors to become operational within 2 years of application submission.
Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness
This executive order directs federal agencies to reduce regulatory burdens on U.S. commercial fishing, aquaculture, and fish processing industries; combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; and develop trade strategies to address unfair foreign competition. It mandates reviews of marine national monuments for potential commercial fishing access, updates to seafood import monitoring, and development of an "America First Seafood Strategy" to boost domestic production and exports.
Establishing the National Energy Dominance Council
This executive order establishes the National Energy Dominance Council within the Executive Office of the President, chaired by the Secretary of the Interior with the Secretary of Energy as vice chair. The council comprises 18 cabinet-level and senior White House officials to advise the president on expanding domestic energy production across all sources including fossil fuels, nuclear, and critical minerals, with a mandate to deliver a National Energy Dominance Strategy and specific recommendations within 100 days.
Unleashing American Energy
This executive order revokes numerous Biden-era climate and environmental executive orders, pauses Inflation Reduction Act and infrastructure spending, directs agencies to rescind regulations burdening domestic energy and mineral development, eliminates the social cost of carbon, expedites LNG export approvals and federal permitting, terminates the American Climate Corps, and mandates review of state EV emissions waivers and appliance efficiency standards.
Declaring a National Energy Emergency
President Trump declares a national energy emergency under the National Emergencies Act, directing federal agencies to use emergency authorities to expedite domestic energy production, infrastructure, and permitting. The order invokes emergency provisions under the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and Defense Production Act, with specific focus on addressing energy vulnerabilities in the Northeast, West Coast, and Alaska.
