This document formally announces a list of Presidential Nominations that have been sent to the Senate for confirmation, detailing individuals nominated for various key leadership and representative roles across several federal departments and independent agencies, including the Department of Justice, Department of State, Department of the Interior, Department of Energy, the Federal Election Commission, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, often filling seats vacated by resignations or expired terms.

This Presidential Action, issued on February 11, 2026, mandates that the Department of War (DOW), in coordination with the Department of Energy, must prioritize the preservation and strategic use of coal-based energy assets to ensure the electric grid supporting military installations and defense industry remains resilient and reliable.

Citing coal's proven ability to provide continuous baseload power, the action directs the DOW to procure power through long-term Power Purchase Agreements with coal-fired facilities, prioritizing those that enhance grid reliability, on-site fuel security, and mission assurance for defense capabilities, based on the policy that coal is essential for national and economic security during the declared national energy emergency.

The President modifies existing national emergency trade restrictions imposed by Executive Order 14329 concerning Russia's actions against Ukraine. Based on newly received information and recommendations, the President determines that India has taken significant steps, including committing to cease importing Russian oil and agreeing to expanded defense cooperation, thus warranting the elimination of the 25 percent additional *ad valorem* duty previously placed on imports of articles of India.

This action becomes effective on February 7, 2026, and requires relevant agencies to coordinate modifications to the tariff schedule while establishing monitoring measures to ensure India does not resume Russian oil imports.

This Presidential Action establishes an 'America First Arms Transfer Strategy' to leverage U.S. military equipment sales as a primary tool of foreign policy, explicitly linking arms exports to the expansion of domestic defense production capacity and technological superiority.

The order directs multiple federal agencies, including the Departments of War, State, and Commerce, to create implementation plans within strict deadlines, develop prioritized sales catalogs, streamline administrative processes like Third-Party Transfers, and enhance accountability through a new task force and public performance metrics.

This Presidential Action establishes the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, an INDYCAR street race to be held in Washington, D.C., near the National Mall, in celebration of America's 250th birthday.

The directive mandates that the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Transportation quickly designate a suitable route, expedite all required permits and approvals—potentially classifying the event as a 'special event'—and coordinate road maintenance.

Furthermore, the Secretaries are tasked with facilitating appropriate aerial photography while ensuring government facility security, with all associated publication costs assigned to the Department of the Interior.

The President declared a national emergency, citing the Government of Cuba's alignment with hostile entities like Russia and Iran, hosting foreign intelligence facilities, supporting transnational terrorist groups, and perpetrating human rights abuses against its populace.

Based on this determination, which invokes the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the order establishes a mechanism to impose additional *ad valorem* tariffs on goods imported from any foreign country that directly or indirectly sells or provides oil to Cuba, with implementation and monitoring delegated primarily to the Secretaries of Commerce and State.

This Presidential Action continues the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council, which was initially established by Executive Order 14180, until March 25, 2026.

The order delegates the President's functions related to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as they apply to the Council, to the Secretary of Homeland Security to perform in accordance with GSA guidelines.

The action, effective January 24, 2026, also includes standard provisions regarding statutory authority, funding availability, and assurances that the order does not create new enforceable legal rights.

President Donald J. Trump issued a Proclamation designating January 20, 2026, as the National Day of Patriotic Devotion, marking the first anniversary of his inauguration and celebrating the administration's achievements in areas including border security, economic revival through deregulation and tax cuts, strengthening the military, and restoring perceived national values and American strength on the world stage.
