The President

Presidential Determination No. 2019–11 of March 12, 2019

Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 303 of the

Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended

Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the

laws of the United States of America, including section 303 of the Defense

Production Act of 1950, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’) (50 U.S.C. 4533), I hereby

determine, pursuant to section 303(a)(5) of the Act, that the domestic produc-

tion capability for AN/SSQ series sonobuoys is essential to the national

defense.

Without Presidential action under section 303 of the Act, United States

industry cannot reasonably be expected to provide the production capability

for AN/SSQ series sonobuoys adequately and in a timely manner. Further,

purchases, purchase commitments, or other action pursuant to section 303

of the Act are the most cost-effective, expedient, and practical alternative

method for meeting the need for this critical capability.

You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal

Register.
