An executive order gives the Interior Secretary the Defense Production Act's energy powers alongside Energy and Commerce, sends their disputes to the National Energy Dominance Council, and quietly drops a limit that had reserved one finding to the Energy Secretary.
Executive Order 14427, signed September 8 and published September 11, amends the 2012 order that delegates the President's Defense Production Act authorities. It adds the Secretary of the Interior alongside the Secretary of Energy for 'all forms of energy under their purview', each able to act independently, and alongside Commerce and Energy for the authority to prioritize and allocate materials to maximize domestic energy supplies. Disagreements between two secretaries over energy now go first to the National Energy Dominance Council, or to that council and the National Security Council together when national defense infrastructure or military operations are involved. In rewriting one section, the order also removes a limit that had reserved findings about 'critical and essential' materials to the Energy Secretary; it does not mention doing so. The order gives no reason for any of the changes, sets no deadline, touches none of the act's purchase or loan authorities, and creates no enforceable right.
