Investing in America and Investing in American Workers
This executive order directs federal agencies to prioritize high labor standards—including prevailing wages, project labor agreements, union neutrality, and workforce development—when awarding federal financial assistance under the Investing in America agenda (infrastructure, CHIPS, and clean energy laws). It establishes an interagency task force to coordinate implementation and requires agencies to embed job quality criteria into grant-making processes.
Revitalizing Our Nation's Commitment to Environmental Justice for All
This executive order establishes a whole-of-government framework to advance environmental justice by requiring federal agencies to identify and address disproportionate environmental and health burdens on underserved communities. It mandates new Environmental Justice Strategic Plans, creates a White House Office of Environmental Justice with a Federal Chief Environmental Justice Officer, expands the White House Environmental Justice Interagency Council to 25 cabinet-level and agency members, and establishes new requirements for data collection, community engagement, and toxic chemical release notification.
Modernizing Regulatory Review
This executive order updates the framework for federal regulatory review by raising the economic threshold for "significant regulatory actions" from $100 million to $200 million, requiring regulatory analysis to consider distributive impacts and equity, expanding public participation requirements to include underserved communities, and mandating OMB revise its key cost-benefit analysis guidance (Circular A-4) within one year.
Implementation of the CHIPS Act of 2022
This executive order establishes an interagency steering council to coordinate implementation of the CHIPS Act of 2022, directing agencies to prioritize domestic semiconductor manufacturing, supply chain security, workforce development, and taxpayer accountability. It creates governance structures but does not itself allocate funds or establish new regulatory requirements.
Climate-Related Financial Risk
This executive order directs federal agencies to assess and disclose climate-related financial risks across government programs, financial markets, and pensions. It mandates development of a government-wide climate risk strategy, requires financial regulators to evaluate systemic climate risks, and reinstates flood risk standards for federally funded projects.
Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science To Tackle the Climate Crisis
This executive order establishes climate action and environmental justice as core federal priorities, directing agencies to review and reverse Trump-era environmental rollbacks from 2017-2021. It revokes the Keystone XL pipeline permit, restores Arctic drilling protections, initiates national monument boundary reviews, creates an Interagency Working Group to establish social costs of greenhouse gases, and suspends or revokes numerous prior executive orders on energy infrastructure and environmental regulation.
