                Presidential Determination No. 2019-19 of July 22, 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 Neodymium Iron Boron Rare Earth Sintered 
                Material and Permanent Magnets 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 
                Neodymium Iron Boron Rare Earth Sintered Material and 
                Permanent Magnets 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, July 22, 2019
