Removing Unnecessary and Counterproductive Restrictions on Access to Federal Lands

The order directs federal agencies to rescind and replace the off‑road vehicle designation criteria from Executive Orders 11644 and 11989 and instead manage off‑road vehicle use on Federal lands under existing statutory authorities such as the National Historic Preservation Act, NEPA, the Endangered Species Act, and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. It instructs agencies to adopt an updated framework reflecting technological and land‑management developments to reduce vague, subjective criteria that have impeded energy, timber, utility maintenance, permitting, and access.
