On May 15, 2019, he invoked the National Emergencies Act of 1976 as the basis for issuing Executive Order 13873.

Since then, the U.S. Department of Commerce developed and promulgated regulations implementing the order, which became effective in February 2024.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has authority under ICTS regulations to require mitigation of threats to critical infrastructure.
