This Presidential Permit grants Bridger Pipeline Expansion LLC the authority, subject to specific conditions, to build, operate, and maintain pipeline border facilities in Phillips County, Montana, for the cross-border transport of crude oil and various petroleum products between the United States and Canada.

The permit specifies that the facilities remain subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, mandates strict operational and maintenance standards, reserves the right for the U.S. government to take possession for national security, and requires the permittee to obtain all necessary rights-of-way and indemnify the government against liabilities.

The President issued a determination for the Secretary of Energy, declaring that the nation's electric grid infrastructure and its associated supply chains are essential national defense resources facing severe threats due to foreign overreliance and outdated domestic capacity.

Citing a prior national energy emergency declaration, the President invoked Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 to authorize the government to take necessary actions, including purchases and financial support, to rapidly expand domestic manufacturing capabilities for critical grid components like transformers and high-voltage equipment, thereby averting a shortfall that could severely impair national defense.

This Presidential Determination directs the Secretary of Energy to use authority under Section 303 of the Defense Production Act (DPA) of 1950 to expedite the development, manufacturing, and deployment of large-scale energy and energy-related infrastructure.

Citing a prior declaration of a national energy emergency due to inadequate domestic energy supply posing a threat to national security, the President finds that market risks and regulatory delays prevent the timely meeting of crucial industrial capacity needs.

Consequently, the President determines that expanding this domestic capability is essential for national defense and waives certain procedural requirements of the DPA to enable immediate purchasing, commitments, and financial support for these projects.

This Presidential Determination directs the Secretary of Energy to use the authority granted under Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 to expand domestic natural gas transmission, processing, storage, and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) capacity.

The action is framed as essential for national defense and ensuring allied energy security against threats posed by hostile foreign powers utilizing energy reliance as a weapon.

The President specifically waives certain DPA requirements, finding that industry cannot meet these critical infrastructure needs in a timely manner due to financing, permitting, and construction delays.

This Presidential Memorandum directs the Secretary of Energy to utilize the authority granted under Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 to secure and expand coal supply chains and baseload power generation capacity.

The action is predicated on a finding, previously established in Executive Order 14156, that inadequate energy supply poses an unusual and extraordinary threat to the Nation’s economy and national security, asserting that coal infrastructure is crucial for maintaining grid stability, supporting defense operations, and meeting the high energy demands of emerging technologies.

The document explicitly determines that industry cannot meet these needs in a timely manner due to market barriers and consequently waives several DPA requirements to allow for immediate purchases, commitments, and financial support measures.

President Trump issues a Presidential Determination to the Secretary of Energy, activating Section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 following a prior declaration of a National Energy Emergency.

This action officially designates domestic petroleum production, refining, and logistics capacity—including pipelines and terminals—as critical national defense resources.

The President finds that federal intervention via purchases, commitments, or financial support is necessary because industry cannot meet the required expansion timely due to financing and permitting hurdles, leading to a waiver of standard DPA procedural requirements for the purpose of immediately bolstering U.S. defense readiness.

The President issued a memorandum exempting the United States Air Force's jet fighter training operations located in Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada from Federal, state, and local requirements concerning water pollution control and abatement for a one-year period, specifically from April 20, 2026, to April 20, 2027.

This action is taken pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, based on the determination that these exemptions are in the paramount interest of the United States, particularly in relation to ongoing litigation regarding these training activities, although specific sections of the Act (33 U.S.C. 1316 and 1317) remain in effect.

The President issued a Presidential Permit, exercising authority vested in the office, to Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership, a Canadian-owned subsidiary, to operate and maintain three existing pipeline Border facilities in Pembina County, North Dakota, for transporting crude oil and various petroleum products across the U.S.-Canada border.

This permit supersedes a previous permit from 1991 and establishes several conditions, including subjecting the facilities to all applicable laws and regulations, mandating permittee responsibility for maintenance and liability indemnity, granting the U.S. the right to take possession for national security purposes, and requiring removal of the facilities upon permit termination unless otherwise directed.
