President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on May 29 2026 that rescinds Executive Orders 11644 and 11989, which had imposed subjective criteria for off‑road vehicle use on public lands. The new order directs federal agencies to repeal or revise regulations that were adopted to implement the rescinded orders. The previous criteria, which aimed to prevent adverse effects on natural, aesthetic, or scenic values and to minimize conflicts with other recreational uses, were considered vague and difficult for agencies to apply. The rescission is intended to simplify land‑management rules, reduce regulatory burdens, and expand access for recreation, energy development, and other uses while relying on existing environmental and land‑management laws. The move is part of the administration’s broader effort to streamline federal land use policy.
