Easier Access to Federal Lands
The order rescinds Executive Order 11644 (Feb 8, 1972) and Executive Order 11989 (May 24, 1977). That change is intended to give people who visit or manage public lands more access and recreational opportunities and to remove vague, subjective rules that limited access. The order is dated May 29, 2026, and directs agencies to replace old rules with a framework based on current statutes.
Fewer Land-Use Barriers for Industry
The order says the vague criteria in the old executive orders often created barriers to energy and timber production and utility maintenance and caused permit delays. Rescinding those executive orders is intended to reduce regulatory burdens on industries that use Federal lands and to restore balanced land management. The order was issued May 29, 2026.
