Energy Directives

This document provides a compilation of numerous individuals nominated by the President to various high-level federal positions, including roles within executive departments, independent agencies, ambassadorships, and U.S. Attorney offices.

The listings specify the nominee's name, their proposed role, the agency or location, and often denote whether the appointment is to fill an expired term, a vacancy, or a newly created position, detailing the necessary Senate confirmation required for these appointments to take effect.

Withdrawing the United States from International Organizations, Conventions, and Treaties that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States

This Presidential Memorandum directs all executive departments and agencies to immediately begin the process of withdrawing the United States from membership, participation in, or funding for a long list of specific non-UN and United Nations organizations, and related bodies.

This directive stems from the Secretary of State's review, completed under Executive Order 14199, which identified these groups as contrary to the interests of the United States, with the Secretary of State tasked to provide further implementation guidance.

This Presidential Memorandum directs various cabinet secretaries and agency heads to ensure the United States leads global development of the next generation of mobile communications networks (6G), establishing it as foundational to national security and economic prosperity.

The action explicitly mandates studies for relocating Federal systems away from the 7.125-7.4 GHz spectrum band to enable its designation for commercial 6G use, while also initiating studies for other bands (2.69-2.9 GHz and 4.4-4.94 GHz).

Furthermore, the Secretary of State is ordered to engage diplomatically to advance U.S. objectives in international standards bodies concerning 6G.

Launching the Genesis Mission

This Presidential Action establishes the "Genesis Mission," a major national effort coordinated by the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) and largely implemented by the Secretary of Energy (the DOE), to accelerate scientific discovery using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The mission focuses on creating the American Science and Security Platform, which will integrate federal scientific datasets and high-performance computing resources to train scientific foundation models, test hypotheses, and automate research workflows across critical national challenges such as clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and biotechnology.

The action mandates coordination across executive agencies, outlines specific timelines for establishing the platform's infrastructure and identifying priority challenges, and encourages strong public-private partnerships under rigorous security and data-sharing protocols.

Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Coke Oven Processing Security

This Presidential Proclamation issues a two-year regulatory exemption to specific coke oven stationary sources listed in Annex I from meeting certain compliance deadlines established by the EPA's July 5, 2024, Coke Oven Rule.

The President asserts that the required emissions-control technologies are not commercially available, and adherence to the current schedule would severely harm the domestic coke and steel industry, thereby undermining national security and the production of materials necessary for critical infrastructure and defense.

Nominations Sent to the Senate

This presidential action document records three nominations forwarded to the Senate for confirmation: Daniel E. Burrows for Assistant Attorney General, Stevan Pearce for Director of the Bureau of Land Management, and Douglas Weaver for a Member seat on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Mineral Security

This Presidential Proclamation, issued by President Donald J. Trump, grants a two-year exemption from the compliance deadlines of a new Environmental Protection Agency rule, known as the Copper Rule, for certain primary copper smelters.

The action is justified by asserting that copper is a critical material for national security and that the new emissions standards impose severe burdens because the required emissions-control technology is either not commercially viable or cost-effective. By extending the deadlines, the Proclamation aims to preserve the Nation's limited domestic smelting capacity and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains during this two-year period.

Nomination Sent to the Senate

This document details a series of recent presidential actions, primarily focused on sending nominations for federal positions to the Senate for confirmation, along with a supplemental list of two nominations that have been formally withdrawn from Senate consideration.

The nominations span various governmental levels, including appointments for U.S. District Judges in Louisiana, U.S. Marshals and Attorneys across several states, an Assistant Secretary of Defense, an Ambassador to Cyprus, an Assistant Secretary of State, the Chief Financial Officer for the Department of Transportation, and the Coordinator for Counterterrorism.

The withdrawals include candidates for Under Secretary of Defense and an Assistant Secretary position within the Department of Education.
