AI Summary: This regulation amends Executive Order 13603, which delegates presidential authorities under the Defense Production Act, a law that allows the President to influence domestic industry to support national defense. Specifically, this amendment adds the Secretary of Energy as an official who can independently exercise certain delegated authorities, alongside the Secretary of Commerce. The regulation also clarifies that an agency head only needs to recommend action to the President under a specific section of Executive Order 14156 when the authority for that action rests solely with the President and has not been delegated to the agency head.
