Executive Order 14391 of March 13, 2026

Adjusting Certain Delegations Under the Defense

Production Act

By the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of

America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. This order amends Executive Order

13603 of March 16, 2012 (National Defense Resources

Preparedness). Executive Order 13603 delegates certain

authorities of the President under the Defense

Production Act (50 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.), to specified

executive department and agency (agency) heads. This

order also clarifies section 2(a) of Executive Order

14156 of January 20, 2025 (Declaring a National Energy

Emergency).

Sec. 2. Amendment to Executive Order 13603. Section 203

of Executive Order 13603 is hereby amended by striking

the phrase ``Secretary of Commerce'' and inserting, in

lieu thereof, ``Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary

of Energy, each of whom may exercise such delegated

authority independently of the other''.

Sec. 3. Clarifying Section 2(a) of Executive Order

14156. For the avoidance of doubt, an agency head need

only recommend action to the President under section

2(a) of Executive Order 14156 when the authority to

take the recommended action is vested in the President

alone and has not been delegated

Sec. 3. Clarifying Section 2(a) of Executive Order

14156. For the avoidance of doubt, an agency head need

only recommend action to the President under section

2(a) of Executive Order 14156 when the authority to

take the recommended action is vested in the President

alone and has not been delegated. Section 2(a) of

Executive Order 14156 does not require an agency head

to make a recommendation to the President when the

agency head has authority to take the action by virtue

of a delegation pursuant to Executive Order 13603 or

other Presidential delegation.

Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order

shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or

the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with

applicable law and subject to the availability of

appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,

create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,

enforceable at law or in equity by any party against

the United States, its departments, agencies, or

entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any

other person.
