                 Determination No. 2017-08 of June 13, 2017

                
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 
                4533(a)(5) of the Defense Production Act of 1950

                Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States, 
                including section 4533(a)(5) of the Defense Production 
                Act of 1950 (the ``Act'') (50 U.S.C. 4533(a)(5)), I 
                hereby determine, pursuant to section 4533(a)(5) of the 
                Act, that critical technology items affecting aerospace 
                structures and fibers, radiation-hardened 
                microelectronics, radiation test and qualification 
                facilities, and satellite components and assemblies are 
                critical to national defense.

                Without Presidential action under this Act, the United 
                States space industrial base cannot reasonably be 
                expected to adequately provide those critical 
                technology items in a timely manner. Further, 
                purchases, purchase commitments, or other action 
                pursuant to section 4533 of the Act are the most cost 
                effective, expedient, and practical alternative method 
                for meeting the needs for those critical technology 
                items.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                memorandum in the Federal Register.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,
