The memorandum directs federal agencies to coordinate more closely when funding energy-infrastructure and critical-mineral projects. Agencies must share application and award data with the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC), pause new obligations if applicants refuse to allow that sharing, revise their own rules to facilitate it, and work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to create a single, government-wide funding application that applicants can submit once for multiple programs. The goal is to cut duplicative reviews, speed decisions, and strengthen domestic energy and critical-mineral supply chains.

This proclamation amends Proclamation 9173 (Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument Expansion) to permit commercial fishing within the monument, finding that the existing prohibition is not necessary to protect the monument's objects of scientific and historic interest. It prohibits the Secretary of Commerce from barring commercial fishing between 50 and 200 nautical miles from the monument's landward boundaries where the monument is coterminous with the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, restricts commercial fishing there to United States flagged vessels, and allows foreign flagged vessels to transship U.S.-harvested fish only by permit. It also directs the Secretary of Commerce, through the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to expeditiously publish proposed rules amending or repealing regulations that restrict commercial fishing in the monument.
