                Presidential Determination No. 2019-09 of January 16, 
                2019

                
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 
                303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended

                Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 303 of the Defense 
                Production Act of 1950, as amended (the ``Act'') (50 
                U.S.C. 4533), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 
                303(a)(5) of the Act, that the domestic production 
                capability for inert materials for munitions is 
                essential to the national defense.

                Without Presidential action under section 303 of the 
                Act, United States industry cannot reasonably be 
                expected to provide the production capability for inert 
                materials for munitions adequately and in a timely 
                manner. Further, purchases, purchase commitments, or 
                other action pursuant to section 303 of the Act are the 
                most cost-effective, expedient, and practical 
                alternative method for meeting the need for this 
                critical capability.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                memorandum in the Federal Register.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, January 16, 2019
