Simplifying the Funding of Energy Infrastructure and Critical Mineral and Material Projects

On June 30, 2025, President Trump issued a memorandum directing federal agencies to share funding application and commitment data for energy infrastructure and critical mineral/material projects with the National Energy Dominance Council, reducing redundancy and expediting strategic decision‑making.

The memo mandates that agencies update information‑sharing policies within 60 days and establish a unified application process—available across multiple federal funding programs—within 180 days.

This initiative streamlines approvals, cuts red tape, and strengthens U.S. energy and critical mineral supply chain resilience.
