§§ 4511-18: This section generally addresses the President’s powers with respect to goods that are already being produced, including the power to (1.) require contractors to prioritize the Federal Government’s orders or contracts over the performance of any other contract or order and (2.) to allocate materials, services, or facilities as necessary to promote the national defense. Title I, Priorities and Allocation, 50 U.S.C. Each of these is discussed in turn below. Today, the remaining DPA authorities include Title I (Priorities and Allocations), III (Expansion of Productive Capacity and Supply), and VII (General Provisions). These titles were officially repealed in 2009. However, shortly after passage of the Act – and President Truman’s attempt to nationalize the steel industry – several titles were terminated including Titles II (Authority to Requisition and Condemn), IV (Price and Wage Stabilization), V (Settlement of Labor Disputes), and VI (Control of Consumer Real Estate Credit). When passed in 1950, the DPA originally included seven titles outlining the President’s authorities to influence domestic industry in the name of national defense, including military readiness and domestic preparedness for national emergencies. To bring you up to speed, we have prepared a short summary of the DPA below.
companies, much of the DPA is unfamiliar to U.S. §§ 4501 et seq., to ensure the Nation is able to acquire the “health and medical resources needed to respond to the spread of COVID-19, including personal protective equipment and ventilators.” While some authorities of the DPA are used regularly by the defense industry or in regulating foreign investment in U.S. Last week, the President announced that he was invoking a Cold War-era law called the Defense Production Act (DPA), 50 U.S.C.
