Establishing the United States Investment Accelerator

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.

    (Presidential Sig.)
