Full Analysis
The Swatting Registry Best Practices Act (HR9887) was introduced on July 22, 2026, by Rep. Walkinshaw (D-VA) and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The bill requires the Attorney General, in consultation with DHS, to issue best-practices guidance for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments on establishing voluntary swatting registries. The guidance covers program design, data minimization, privacy, and accessibility. No funding is authorized or appropriated—the bill is purely a guidance mandate. At this early stage (referred to committee, no hearings scheduled), the likelihood of passage is low, and even if enacted, the economic impact is limited to compliance costs for public safety agencies and potential consulting revenue for technology vendors. No direct procurement or spending is created. The bill does not name any specific companies or allocate funds. Therefore, the market impact is minimal.

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.
