Energy Bosses Gain Solo Defense Act Powers, Councils Arbitrate

## Summary

This order updates who can make big energy decisions under the Defense Production Act. Now, both the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Energy can act independently on energy matters. If they disagree, special councils step in to sort things out, especially when national defense is involved. These changes help speed up important energy and defense actions without delay.
