Presidential Determination No. 2019-02 of October 5,

2018

Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section

303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended

Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

By the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of

America, including section 303 of the Defense

Production Act of 1950, as amended (the ``Act'') (50

U.S.C. 4533), I hereby determine, pursuant to section

303(a)(5) of the Act, that the development of and the

purchase of equipment and materials needed for alane

fuel cells are essential to the national defense.

Without Presidential action under section 303 of the

Act, United States industry cannot reasonably be

expected to provide the capability for the production

of alane fuel cells adequately and in a timely manner.

Further, purchases, purchase commitments, or other

action pursuant to section 303 of the Act are the most

cost effective, expedient, and practical alternative

method for meeting the need for this critical

capability.

You are authorized and directed to publish this

memorandum in the Federal Register.

(Presidential Sig.)
