AI Summary: This notice announces Executive Order 14428, signed by the President on September 16, 2026, which revokes the prior Executive Order 13508 regarding Chesapeake Bay protection and restoration. The document directs federal agencies to refocus their resources on direct, on-the-ground projects that yield measurable water quality improvements—such as reducing sediment, phosphorus, and nitrogen run-off—while avoiding funding for activities that lack measurable progress. Additionally, the order requires the Environmental Protection Agency to coordinate with watershed jurisdictions to assess and encourage the repeal of local stormwater management fees, commonly known as rain taxes, that impose financial burdens on residents.
