                Executive Order 14255 of March 31, 2025

                
Establishing the United States Investment 
                Accelerator

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered:

                Section 1. Purpose. The United States is the most 
                powerful economy in the world, but slow, complex, and 
                burdensome American regulatory processes at every stage 
                of a company's development and operation make 
                significant domestic and foreign investment harder than 
                necessary. Regulations hamper investment, permitting, 
                and site selection, and numerous overlapping Federal, 
                State, and local legal regimes with complex and often 
                duplicative requirements significantly delay 
                construction. It is in the interest of the American 
                people that the Federal Government dramatically expand 
                its assistance to companies seeking to invest and build 
                in the United States.

                Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States 
                to modernize its processes to attract substantial 
                domestic and foreign investment in the United States 
                and to actively assist those building here for the 
                benefit of our Nation's economic prosperity to unleash 
                investment from our small businesses to the largest 
                companies.

                Sec. 3. The United States Investment Accelerator. (a) 
                Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Secretary 
                of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of the 
                Treasury and the Assistant to the President for 
                Economic Policy, shall establish within the Department 
                of Commerce an office named the United States 
                Investment Accelerator (Investment Accelerator). The 
                Investment Accelerator shall facilitate and accelerate 
                investments above $1 billion in the United States by 
                assisting investors as they navigate United States 
                Government regulatory processes efficiently, reduce 
                regulatory burdens where consistent with applicable 
                law, increase access to and use of our national 
                resources where appropriate and consistent with 
                applicable law, facilitate research collaborations with 
                our national labs, and work with State governments in 
                all 50 States to reduce regulatory barriers to, and 
                increase, domestic and foreign investment in the United 
                States.

                    (b) The Investment Accelerator shall be headed by 
                an Executive Director and staffed with legal, 
                transactional, operational, and support staff as 
                directed by the Secretary of Commerce. The Investment 
                Accelerator shall be responsible for the CHIPS Program 
                Office within the Department of Commerce, which shall 
                focus on delivering the benefit of the bargain for 
                taxpayers by negotiating much better deals than those 
                of the previous administration.
                    (c) The Investment Accelerator shall identify any 
                existing mechanisms, exceptions, and opportunities in 
                Federal law that can be used to assist foreign and 
                domestic investors, consistent with the protection of 
                national security.

                Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or 
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.

                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
