It is the policy of the United States to promote an adequate, reliable, domestic, and stable supply of critical minerals, produced in an environmentally responsible manner, in order to strengthen and sustain the economic security, and the manufacturing, industrial, energy, technological, and competitive stature, of the United States. The President, acting through the Executive Office of the President, shall coordinate the actions of Federal agencies under this and other Acts— to encourage Federal agencies to facilitate the availability, development, and environmentally responsible production of domestic resources to meet national critical minerals needs; to minimize duplication, needless paperwork, and delays in the administration of applicable laws (including regulations) and the issuance of permits and authorizations necessary to explore for, develop, and produce critical minerals and to construct and operate critical mineral manufacturing facilities in an environmentally responsible manner; to promote the development of economically stable and environmentally responsible domestic critical mineral production and manufacturing; to establish an analytical and forecasting capability for identifying critical mineral demand, supply, and other market dynamics relevant to policy formulation so that informed actions may be taken to avoid supply shortages, mitigate price volatility, and prepare for demand growth and other market shifts; to strengthen educational and research capabilities and workforce training; to bolster international cooperation through technology transfer, information sharing, and other means; to promote the efficient production, use, and recycling of critical minerals; to develop alternatives to critical minerals; and to establish contingencies for the production of, or access to, critical minerals for which viable sources do not exist within the United States.
