Permits importers of MHDVs (except those classified in HTSUS heading 8702) that qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to submit documentation to the Secretary of Commerce identifying the amount of U.S. content in each model being imported. Defines U.S. content as “the value of the MHDV attributable to United States-based activity supporting domestic production”. Provides the Secretary with discretion to approve imports of such MHDVs to be eligible to apply the 25 percent duty exclusively to the non-U.S. content of the MHDV.

Excludes imports of individual MHDVPs that qualify for preferential tariff treatment under the USMCA from being subject to the additional 25 percent duty rate until the Secretary of Commerce establishes a process for applying the 25 percent duty rate exclusively to the non-U.S. content and publishes a notice in the Federal Register. Includes exception that imports of MHDV knock-down kits or equivalent parts compilations shall remain subject to the 25 percent duty rate regardless of USMCA preferential treatment qualification.

Reduces duties assessed on MHDVPs accounting for 15 percent of the value of an MHDV assembled in the U.S. from 2025 through 2030 (excluding MHDV knock-down kits or other equivalent parts compilations). Specifically, for MHDVs assembled in the U.S., MHDV manufacturers will be eligible for an import adjustment offset amount equal to 3.75 percent of the aggregate value of all MHDVs assembled in the U.S. by that manufacturer, determined annually, from November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2030. Applies only to MHDVs that undergo final assembly in the U.S. and only to offset tariff liability related to the manufacturer’s MHDVP tariff liability under this proclamation. Directs the Secretary of Commerce to establish an equivalent process for MHDV engine manufacturers.

Authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to publish a notice in the Federal Register prospectively prohibiting MHDV or MHDV engine manufacturers from using offset amounts for imports of specific products that are inconsistent with addressing a threat to national security.

Requires the Secretary of Commerce to implement the import adjustment offset program, including supplying Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with necessary information to administer the program. Requires CBP to confer the approved offset amount to the approved importers.

If CBP determines that the declared value of non-U.S. content is inaccurate due to an overstatement of U.S. content, imposes the 25 percent duty rate on the full value of the MHDV, regardless of the actual U.S. content. Also imposes the 25 percent duty rate on the full value of all MHDVs of the same model imported by the same party until compliance is verified by CBP.

Directs the Secretary of Commerce to establish a process for including additional MHDVPs within the scope of this proclamation.

Establishes that all products subject to this proclamation must be admitted under “privileged foreign status” and are subject to duties pursuant to the HTSUS and the rules for tariff stacking set forth in “Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts into the United States”. However, excludes MHDVs or buses and other vehicles manufactured at least 25 years prior to the date of entry of such MHDVs or buses.

Revises “Amendments to Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Automobile Parts Into the United States” to reduce duties assessed on automobile parts accounting for 15 percent of the value of an automobile assembled in the U.S. from 2025 through 2030, in a manner consistent with the reduction in duties for MHDVPs as provided above. Permits importers of record to declare an automobile part of MHDVP as subject to the automobile parts tariff or the MHDVP tariff under certain conditions.

Also amends “Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States” and “Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States” to reduce tariffs as set forth in those proclamations by up to half the appliable rate for aluminum or steel producers that operate production facilities in Canada or Mexico and supply U.S. automobile or MHDV manufacturers, as determined by the Secretary of Commerce and subject to certain limitations.

Requires the Secretary of Commerce to monitor imports of MHDVs, certain MHDVPs, and buses, and review the status of such imports with respect to national security. Directs the Secretary to inform the President of any circumstances that warrant changes to this proclamation. Authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to modify the HTSUS to effectuate this proclamation through notice in the Federal Register and issue other regulations and guidance consistent with this proclamation. Further directs the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Homeland Security to implement and effectuate this proclamation and any relevant actions, as well as all amendments to previous presidential actions set forth in this proclamation.

Defines "discretionary aware" or "discretionary grant" as a grant that is a "discretionary aware" as that term is defined in 2 CFR 200.1. It does not include programs where legislation establishes an entitlement to the funds on the part of the recipient, such as block grants; those awarded based on a statutory formula; or disaster recovery grants.

Defines "funding opportunity announcement" as a "notice of funding opportunity" as defined in 2 CFR 200.1, as it pertains to a discretionary award.

Defines "grant" as any "grant agreement or grant" as defined in 2 CFR 200.1, "cooperative agreement" as defined in 2 CFR 200.1, or similar award of financial assistance, including foreign assistance awards.

Provides that the aforementioned review process does not guarantee any particular level of review or considerations to funding applicants except as consistent with applicable law.

This review process must incorporate at least:

• Review and approval of agency funding opportunity announcements by one or more senior appointees or their designees;
• Continuation of existing coordination with OMB;
• To the extent appropriate, review by designated subject-matter experts;
• Review of funding opportunity announcements and related forms to ensure that they include only such requirements as are necessary for an adequate evaluation of the application and are written in plain language;
• Interagency coordination to determine whether the subject matter of a particular funding opportunity announcement has already been addressed by another agency announcement and, if so, whether one of the announcements should be modified or withdrawn to promote consistency and eliminate redundancy;
• For scientific research discretionary grants, review by at least one subject matter expert in the field of the application; and
• Pre-issuance review of discretionary awards to ensure that the awards are consistent with applicable law, agency priorities, and the national interest.

Further, provides that senior appointees and their designees must not ministerially ratify or routinely defer to the recommendations of others in reviewing funding opportunity announcements or discretionary awards, but must instead use their independent judgment.

In reviewing and approving funding opportunity announcements and discretionary awards, as well as in designing the aforementioned review process, requires senior appointees and their designees to apply the following principles, including in any scoring rubrics used to assess grant proposals.

• Discretionary awards must, where applicable, demonstrably advance the President's policy priorities.
• Discretionary awards shall not be used to fund, promote, encourage, subsidize, or facilitate:
  • Racial preferences or other forms of racial discrimination by the grant recipient;
  • Denial by the grant recipient "of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic";
  • Illegal immigration; or
  • Any other initiatives that compromise public safety or promote "anti-American values".
• All else being equal, preference for discretionary awards should be given to institutions with lower indirect cost rates.
• Discretionary grants should be given to a broad range of recipients rather than to a select group of repeat players. Research grants should be awarded to a mix of recipients likely to produce immediately demonstrable results and potentially longer-term breakthrough results.
• Applicants should commit to complying with administration policies, procedures, and guidance respecting "Gold Standard Science".
• Discretionary awards should include clear benchmarks for measuring success and progress towards relevant goals and, as relevant, a commitment to achieving Gold Standard Science. To the extent institutional affiliation is considered, agencies should prioritize and institution's commitment to rigorous, reproducible scholarship over its historical reputation or perceived prestige. As to science grants, agencies should prioritize institutions that have demonstrated success in implementing Gold Standard Science.

Directs the OMB Director to revise the Uniform Guidance and other relevant guidance to streamline application requirements and to clarify and require all discretionary grants to permit termination for convenience, including when the award no longer advances agency priorities or the national interest, but subject to appropriate exceptions.

Requires the OMB Director to review the Uniform Guidance and other relevant guidance to appropriately limit the use of discretionary grant funds for costs related to facilities and administration.

Within 30 days of the date of this EO, each agency head is required to review the agency's standard grant terms and conditions and submit a report to the OMB Director detailing:

• Whether the agency's standard terms and conditions for discretionary awards permit termination for convenience and include the termination provisions described in 2 CFR 200.340(a), including the provisions that an award may be terminated by the agency "if an award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities" or, in the case of a partial termination by the recipient, if the agency "determines that the remaining portion of the Federal award will not accomplish the purposes for which the Federal award was made";
• Whether the agency's standard terms and conditions for discretionary foreign assistance awards permit termination based on the national interest; and
• The approximate number of active discretionary awards at the agency and the approximate percentage of funding obligated under those awards that contain termination provisions allowing for termination under the circumstances described in this EO.

Directs agency heads to take steps to revise the terms and conditions of existing discretionary grants to permit immediate termination for convenience, or clarify that such termination is permitted, including if the award no longer advances agency priorities or the national interest. Requires agency heads to act to incorporate these new terms and conditions into all future amendments to grant awards.

Directs agency heads to insert in future discretionary grant agreements terms and conditions that:

• Prohibit recipients from directly drawing down general grant funds for specific projects without the affirmative authorization of the agency; and
• Require grantees to provide written explanations or support for requests for each drawdown.

The Order sets a federal policy that banking decisions must be based on individualized, objective, risk-based analyses, requires the SBA to notify covered financial institutions and, where applicable, require identification, reinstatement, or notification of customers previously denied services, instructs federal banking regulators to remove or revise supervisory materials that invoke reputation risk and to conduct reviews and take remedial or enforcement actions where unlawful debanking is identified; and directs the Secretary of the Treasury to develop a cross-government strategy. Implementation deadlines include near-term SBA notices (60 days), institution identification/reinstatement/notification requirements (120 days), and regulatory/Treasury deliverables including removal of reputation-risk language and a Treasury strategy (180 days). The Order frames these steps as protecting Americans' access to core financial services and constitutionally protected liberties (including free speech and religious exercise), while noting implementation is "consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations" and does not create a private right of action; agencies may refer unresolved unlawful conduct (notably on the basis of religion) to the Attorney General for civil enforcement.

Transportation carriers delivering shipments to the U.S. through the international postal network, or other parties if qualified in lieu of said transportation carriers, must collect and remit the tariff duties. The duties imposed can either be:

• An ad valorum duty: A duty equal to the effective IEEPA tariff rate applicable to the country of origin of the product.
• A specific duty: A duty based on the effective IEEPA tariff rate applicable to the country of origin of the product as follows:
  • Countries with an effective IEEPA tariff rate of less than 16 percent: $80 per item.
  • Countries with an effective IEEPA tariff rate between 16 and 25 percent (inclusive): $160 per item.
  • Countries with an effective IEEPA rate above 25 percent: $200 per item.

Each transportation carrier must apply the same methodology across all covered shipments during any given period but may change its methodology no more than once per calendar month, or on another schedule determined to be appropriate by CBP, upon providing at least 24 hours’ notice to CBP. Additionally, for all international postal shipments subject to the aforementioned tariffs, the country of origin of the article must be declared to CBP.

The specific duty methodology described above will only be an option for transportation carriers to select for six months following the effective date of this EO. Following that time frame, all shipments to the U.S. through the international postal network must comply with the ad valorem duty methodology.

The aforementioned tariffs will be effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 29, 2025. The EO further states that it supersedes EO 14256 (as amended) entitled, “Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People's Republic of China as Applied to Low-Value Imports.” Directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to take necessary actions to implement and effectuate this EO.

Directs the Attorney General and the Secretaries of HHS, Housing and Urban Development, and Transportation to “take immediate steps to assess their discretionary grant programs and determine whether priority for those grants may be given to grantees in States and municipalities that actively meet the below criteria” (to the extent permitted by law):

• Enforce prohibitions on open illicit drug use, urban camping and loitering, or urban squatting;
• Enforce, and where necessary, adopt, standards that address individuals who are a danger to themselves or others and suffer from serious mental illness or SUD, or who are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves, through assisted outpatient treatment or by moving them into treatment centers or other appropriate facilities via civil commitment or other available means; or
• Substantially implement and comply with the registration and notification obligations of the Sex Offender Registry and Notification Act.

Directs the Attorney General to take a variety of steps related to homeless individuals and their associated release to the public.

Directs the Secretary of HHS to:

• Ensure that discretionary grants issued by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery fund evidence-based programs and do not fund programs that fail to achieve adequate outcomes, including “harm reduction” or “safe consumption” efforts;
• Provide technical assistance to assisted outpatient treatment programs for individuals with serious mental illness or addiction during and after the civil commitment process; and
• Ensure that Federal funds for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CBHCs) reduce homelessness by supporting comprehensive services for individuals with serious mental illness and SUD, including crisis intervention services.

Directs the Attorney General to prioritize available funding to support the expansion of drug courts and mental health courts for individuals for which such diversion serves public safety.

Directs the Secretaries of HHS and Housing and Urban Development to take action to “increase accountability” in their provision of grants awarded for homelessness assistance and transitional living programs.

• The EO notes that these actions include ending support for “housing first” policies, increasing requirements that persons participating in the recipients’ housing and homelessness assistance programs who suffer from substance use disorder or serious mental illness use substance abuse treatment or mental health services as a condition of participation; increase competition among grantees by broadening the applicant pool; and holding grantees to higher standards of effectiveness in reducing homelessness and increasing public safety.

Notes

This directive is subject to ongoing litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (case number: 3:25-cv-01780). On February 27, 2025, the court issued a temporary restraining order requiring OPM to rescind any directives it has issued requiring mass terminations and inform several agencies that it has no power to dictate firings across the federal bureaucracy. On March 13, 2025, the court expanded the temporary restraining order and ordered the immediate reinstatement of certain probationary employees fired from six federal agencies: the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Department of the Interior, and the Department of Transportation. On March 17, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied the government’s request for an emergency motion to stay the district court’s decision (case number: 25-1677). On March 24, 2025, the federal government filed a petition to stay the injunction issued by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California before the U.S. Supreme Court. On April 8, 2025, the Supreme Court stayed the preliminary injunction issued by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Additionally, the broad terminations of probationary employees without specific, individualized determinations regarding the employees’ performance or conduct and without adhering to reduction in force (RIF) requirements is subject to a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (case number: 1:25-cv-00748). The court subsequently issued a temporary restraining order on March 13, 2025 that, among other provisions, stayed the termination of “affected” probationary employees, mandated their reinstatement, and ordered the department/agency heads of the ones listed below to not conduct a RIF unless it is compliant with 5 USC 3502 and relevant regulations.

“Affected” probationary employees are those who were terminated on or after January 20, 2025 and worked for the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the General Services Administration, the Small Business Administration, and the U.S. Agency for International Development. It does not include individuals who were terminated on the basis of a good-faith individualized determination of cause.

On April 9, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit granted the government’s motion for a stay of the preliminary injunction pending this appeal and on April 10, 2025, the Court denied the motion for an administrative stay (case number: 25-1248).

On February 26, 2025, OMB sent a memo to Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies entitled, Guidance on Agency RIF and Reorganization Plans Requested by Implementing The President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Workforce Optimization Initiative. This guidance is in response to requirements in EO 14210, which provides that agency heads promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale RIFs, consistent with applicable law, and develop Agency Reorganization Plans (ARPs), by March 13, 2025.

In their Agency RIF and Reorganization Plans (ARRPs), agencies should "employ all available tools to effectuate the President's directive for a more effective and efficient government and describe how they will use each."

ARRPs should also list the competitive areas for large-scale reductions in force, the RIF effective dates, the expected conclusion of the RIFs, the number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) reduced, and additional impact of RIFs. The guidance also provides that agencies should consider changes to regulations and agency policies that would lead to the reduction or elimination of agency subcomponents or speed up the implementation of ARRPs.

Each agency is required to submit a Phase 1 ARRP to OMB and OPM for review and approval by March 13, 2025, Phase 1 ARRPs must force on initial agency cuts and reductions. Agencies are required to then submit a Phase 2 ARRP to OMB and OPM for review and approval by April 14, 2025. Phase 2 plans are required to outline a positive vision for more productive, efficient agency operations going forward. Phase 2 plans should be planned for implementation by September 30, 2025.

The guidance also requires agencies to continue to send monthly progress reports on May 14, 2025, June 16, 2025, and July 16, 2025.

The guidance includes exclusions for the following:

• Positions that are "necessary" to meet law enforcement, border security, national security, immigration enforcement, or public safety responsibilities;
• Military personnel in the armed forces and all Federal uniformed personnel;
• Officials nominated and appointed to positions requiring Presidential appointment or Senate confirmation, non-career positions in the Senior Executive Service or Schedule C positions in the excepted service, officials appointed through temporary organization hiring authority or the appointment of any other non-career employees or officials, if approved by agency leadership appointed by the President;

The 45-day stay will allow the related investigation to continue.

This EO and the OMB memo entitled, Guidance on Agency RIF and Reorganization Plans Requested by Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Workforce Optimization Initiative, which implements the EO are subject to pending litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (case number 3:25-cv-03698). On May 9, 2025, the court issued a temporary restraining order through Friday, May 23, 2025, unless the court finds good cause to extend it. On May 22, 2025, the court issued a preliminary injunction providing essentially the same relief. On June 2, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied the government's emergency motion for a stay of the district court's preliminary injunction (case number: 25-3293).

On July 8, 2025, the Supreme Court stayed the May 22, 2025 preliminary injunction entered by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California pending the disposition of the appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought.
