Construction of Arctic Security Cutters
President Donald Trump has issued a memorandum directing the construction of up to four Arctic Security Cutters (ASCs) to address national security threats in the Arctic region. The memorandum acknowledges that the current U.S. Coast Guard fleet is inadequate to meet operational demands, posing a risk to U.S. sovereignty and interests. It allows for the temporary construction of these vessels in foreign shipyards, with a plan to eventually bring this expertise back to the U.S. The directive is a time-limited measure, set to terminate in four years unless extended, and aims to fill a critical capability gap while maintaining future investment in the U.S. industrial base.

This aims to simplify the application process, reduce the burden on applicants, and enable faster, more efficient funding decisions.

Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Generate Power for the Columbia River Basin
President Donald Trump issued a memorandum directing the revocation of a previous presidential memorandum aimed at restoring fish populations in the Columbia River Basin. This action is intended to prioritize energy generation and lower living costs over environmental concerns, specifically opposing the breaching of four dams on the Lower Snake River, which would have reduced hydroelectric capacity. The memorandum instructs various federal departments to withdraw from a related legal agreement and halt the preparation of a supplemental environmental impact statement. These departments are also tasked with reporting back on actions taken under the previous memorandum and identifying steps to align with the current administration's policies.

Rescission of Useless Water Pressure Standards
President Donald Trump issued a memorandum directing the Secretary of Energy to rescind or amend water conservation regulations for various household and commercial appliances. These regulations, originally established under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, are criticized for making appliances more expensive and less functional. The directive targets standards related to water and energy use in dishwashers, faucets, showerheads, toilets, and washing machines. The memorandum also instructs the Secretary of Energy to clarify federal preemption waivers for state regulations on water use and to halt enforcement of these standards while changes are considered. Additionally, it calls for recommendations on potentially repealing the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
