President Donald J. Trump has authorized the use of critical‑position pay for up to 400 positions that support national‑security investment programs. The memorandum, issued under statutory and regulatory authority, gives the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the power to assign these positions to executive departments and agencies and to set basic pay rates of up to $400,000. The move is intended to speed the recruitment of highly skilled investment, engineering, financial, and legal professionals needed to expand the United States’ capacity in critical minerals, advanced materials, and other essential supply‑chain components. OPM will oversee use of the authority and ensure it is applied only to recruit or retain exceptionally qualified individuals, subject to appropriations and existing law.
