Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 101 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended, on Recoverable Critical Minerals and Materials

This memorandum invokes the Defense Production Act (DPA) Section 101 to declare that recoverable critical minerals and materials (such as black mass, end-of-life rare-earth magnets, and scrap) are essential to national defense and that the U.S. cannot meet defense needs without disrupting civilian markets. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to issue regulations and take actions—including priority contracts and supply-chain interventions—to rapidly expand domestic recovery and processing of these materials, while explicitly excluding copper scrap already covered by a separate proclamation.

The action aims to boost domestic primary aluminum supply for national security and defense industrial base needs.
