                Memorandum of February 27, 2023

                
Presidential Waiver of Statutory Requirements 
                Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act 
                of 1950, as Amended, on Department of Defense Supply 
                Chains Resilience

                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)(7)(B) of the Act, that action is necessary to 
                avert shortfalls in critical Department of Defense 
                supply chains that would severely impair national 
                defense capability. Therefore, I waive the requirements 
                of section 303(a)(1)-(a)(6) of the Act for supply 
                chains enumerated in the June 2021 White House report 
                titled ``Building Resilient Supply Chains, Revitalizing 
                American Manufacturing, and Fostering Broad-Based 
                Growth: 100-Day Reviews Under Executive Order 14017'' 
                and the February 2022 Department of Defense report 
                titled ``Securing Defense-Critical Supply Chains: An 
                Action Plan Developed in Response to President Biden's 
                Executive Order 14017,'' specifically for defense 
                organic industrial base supply chains critical to the 
                Department of Defense and critical supply chains for 
                electronics, kinetic capabilities, castings and 
                forgings, minerals and materials, and power and energy 
                storage.

                Ensuring a robust, resilient, and sustainable domestic 
                industrial base is essential to our national security 
                and the preservation of domestic critical 
                infrastructure.
