Revokes previous federal office space executive orders to enable agencies to select cost-effective facilities. The revoked orders are:

Directs agencies to streamline environmental review and permitting processes for infrastructure projects by leveraging modern technologies. The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) must establish an interagency Permitting Innovation Center by April 30, 2025, to design and test permitting software tools. By May 30, 2025, CEQ, in coordination with permitting agencies and the National Energy Dominance Council, must issue a Permitting Technology Action Plan outlining data standards, software requirements, and a governance roadmap. Agencies must adopt and begin implementing the Plan’s standards and tools by July 15, 2025.

Directs the Attorney General to identify and act against state and local laws that burden domestic energy production and may be unconstitutional, preempted by federal law, or otherwise unlawful, particularly those tied to climate change, ESG policies, and carbon penalties.

Grants a two-year exemption from the EPA's updated Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) rule for certain stationary sources, citing the lack of commercially viable emissions-control technology needed to meet the rule’s 2027 compliance deadline. The order asserts that enforcing the rule as written would jeopardize grid reliability, threaten national security, and harm the coal sector and broader economy.

Declares coal essential to U.S. economic and national security, designates it as a critical mineral for energy purposes, and directs agencies to remove regulatory barriers, prioritize coal leasing on federal lands, and promote coal use and exports. It also calls for evaluating coal’s eligibility as a critical material for steel production, supports coal-powered AI data centers, and accelerates development of coal technologies.

Directs emergency action under section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act by streamlining and expediting the approval of orders allowing electric generation resources to operate at maximum capacity during times of anticipated grid failure. It also mandates the development of a national methodology to assess grid reserve margins and identify critical generation resources that must be retained or prevented from retiring or converting fuel sources if doing so would reduce grid reliability.

To combat Venezuela’s destabilizing actions and support for illicit activities, the Secretary of State in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the U.S. Trade Representative, is authorized to determine in his discretion whether a tariff of 25% will be imposed on goods imported into the United States from any country that imports Venezuelan oil, whether directly through Venezuela or indirectly through third parties, on or after April 2, 2025. A party is found to be “indirectly” importing Venezuelan oil when the origin of the oil can reasonably be traced back to Venezuela, as determined by the Secretary of Commerce.

Aims to bolster domestic mineral production by expediting permits, prioritizing mineral-rich federal lands, and reducing regulatory barriers to strengthen national security and economic stability. It also facilitates public and private investment in the mineral sector, leveraging federal resources, including the Defense Production Act (DPA), to ensure a stable and independent supply chain for critical minerals.
