                Memorandum of October 3, 2022

                
Presidential Waiver of Statutory Requirements 
                Pursuant to Section 303 of the Defense Production Act 
                of 1950, as Amended

                Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 303 of the Defense 
                Production Act of 1950, as amended (the ``Act'') (50 
                U.S.C. 4533), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 
                303(a)(7)(B) of the Act, that action is necessary to 
                increase the production capacity of material critical 
                to support the defense against adversarial aggression 
                and that a shortfall in this area would severely impair 
                national defense capability. Therefore, I waive the 
                requirements of sections 303(a)(5) and 303(a)(6) of the 
                Act for the purpose of expanding and accelerating the 
                domestic production capability of critical weapons and 
                equipment needed for national defense.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, October 3, 2022
