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.
Further Strengthening Actions Taken to Adjust Imports of Aluminum into the United States
This proclamation modifies the Section 232 tariff regime on aluminum imports by authorizing the Secretary of Commerce to establish a program that incentivizes new U.S. investment in primary aluminum production. Companies with approved onshoring plans can import primary aluminum at half the standard Section 232 duty rate, up to the anticipated annual output of their new or expanded facilities, with construction required to start by January 20, 2029. The action aims to boost domestic primary aluminum supply for national security and defense industrial base needs.
Securing America’s Defense Supply Chains and Ensuring Domestic Acquisition of Critical Materials
This executive order restricts waivers for foreign-sourced critical materials in defense contracts, effective January 1, 2027, and mandates that defense contractors map their supply chains from raw materials to end products, vet subcontractors for risks, and prohibit covered materials from unreliable foreign suppliers. It directs the Secretary of War to enforce strict compliance, including requiring mitigation plans for any non-compliant materials and establishing penalties for fraud or willful noncompliance.
