                Presidential Determination No. 2026-07 of April 20, 
                2026

                
Presidential Determination Concerning the Air 
                Force's Jet Fighter Training Operations in Idaho, 
                Oregon, and Nevada

                Memorandum for the Administrator of the Environmental 
                Protection Agency [and] the Secretary of the Air Force

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 313 of the Federal Water 
                Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1323), I 
                determine that it is in the paramount interest of the 
                United States to exempt the United States Air Force's 
                jet fighter training operations in Idaho, Oregon, and 
                Nevada (aspects of which are the subject of litigation 
                in Oregon Natural Desert Ass'n v. Meink, Case No. 2:23-
                cv-01898 (D. Or.)) from Federal, State, interstate, and 
                local requirements, administrative authority, and 
                process and sanctions respecting the control and 
                abatement of water pollution.

                Therefore, pursuant to subsection (a) of section 313 of 
                the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 
                U.S.C. 1323(a)), I hereby exempt the Air Force's jet 
                fighter training operations in Idaho, Oregon, and 
                Nevada from Federal, State, interstate, and local 
                requirements, administrative authority, and process and 
                sanctions respecting the control and abatement of water 
                pollution; except that no exemption is hereby granted 
                from the requirements of 33 U.S.C. 1316 and 1317.

                The exemption granted by this memorandum shall be for 
                the 1-year period beginning April 20, 2026, and ending 
                April 20, 2027.

                Nothing herein is intended to: (a) imply that in the 
                absence of such a Presidential exemption, the Clean 
                Water Act or any other provision of law would require 
                the Air Force to obtain permits pertaining to the 
                control and abatement of water pollution for the 
                exempted operations; or (b) limit the applicability or 
                enforcement of any other requirement of law applicable 
                to the Air Force's jet fighter training operations in 
                Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada.

                directed to publish this determination in the Federal 
                Register.
