President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on May 29, 2026, rescinding Executive Orders 11644 and 11989, which had set criteria for off‑road vehicle use on federal lands. The new order says the statutory authorities from the National Historic Preservation Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and Federal Land Policy and Management Act provide sufficient framework for land management. The administration argues that the old orders imposed vague, subjective criteria that limited access for energy, timber, utility work and recreation. By removing those requirements, the government intends to simplify rulemaking, restore equal access to public lands, and facilitate multiple‑use benefits for citizens. Agencies such as the Interior, Agriculture and others will develop new regulations under the order.
