Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Chemical Manufacturing Security
President Trump issued a proclamation exempting certain chemical manufacturing facilities from compliance with the EPA's HON Rule for two years, citing unavailability of required technology and national security concerns. The exemption delays emissions-control deadlines and maintains pre-HON Rule standards for listed stationary sources, invoking authority under Clean Air Act section 112(i)(4).

This executive order directs the EPA, USDA, and HHS to prioritize registration of alternative pesticides, expedite cumulative exposure research, and maximize funding for a regenerative agriculture pilot program, while creating public-private partnerships to expand adoption of conservation farming practices. The order specifically instructs the EPA Administrator to speed up registration actions for substances that can replace older active ingredients, and requires HHS to issue a grand prize challenge for cumulative chemical exposure evaluation technologies.
