The order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to revise regulations within 180 days to enforce higher accountability standards for Importers of Record (IORs), including requiring tangible domestic assets or increased bonding, mandating detailed disclosure of ownership and supply chain data, and imposing stricter rules for foreign IORs, such as prohibiting their use of informal entry.
Furthermore, the action targets enhanced enforcement penalties for noncompliance, streamlined disposal of illegal imports, and established vetting procedures to ensure all parties involved in importing maintain 'good standing' with Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

This Presidential Memorandum directs the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to approve the use of critical position pay authority for up to 400 federal positions designated to support national security investment programs, particularly those involving critical minerals and advanced materials.

Removing Unnecessary and Counterproductive Restrictions on Access to Federal Lands
This Presidential Action, issued on May 29, 2026, revokes Executive Order 11644 and Executive Order 11989, which previously governed the designation of off-road vehicle use on public lands.
The President determined that these 50-year-old orders imposed unnecessary burdens and vague criteria inefficiently, and that existing comprehensive statutory authorities provide a superior framework for managing Federal lands.
