Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads

Executive Order 14264 of April 9, 2025

Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in
Showerheads

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. Overregulation chokes the American
economy and stifles personal freedom. A small but
meaningful example is the Obama-Biden war on showers:
Twice in the last 12 years, those administrations
promulgated multi-thousand-word regulations defining
the word ``showerhead.'' See Energy Conservation
Program: Definition of Showerhead, 86 Fed. Reg. 71797
(December 20, 2021); Energy Conservation Program for
Consumer Products and Certain Commercial and Industrial
Equipment: Test Procedures for Showerheads, Faucets,
Water Closets, Urinals, and Commercial Prerinse Spray
Valves, 78 Fed. Reg. 62970 (October 23, 2013). To the
extent any definition is necessary for this common
piece of hardware, the Oxford English Dictionary
defines ``showerhead'' in one short sentence.

Sec. 2. Ordering the Repeal of the 13,000-Word
Regulation Defining ``Showerhead''. I hereby direct the
Secretary of Energy to publish in the Federal Register
a notice rescinding Energy Conservation Program:
Definition of Showerhead, 86 Fed. Reg. 71797 (December
20, 2021), including the definition of ``showerhead''
codified at 10 C.F.R. 430.2. Notice and comment is
unnecessary because I am ordering the repeal. The
rescission shall be effective 30 days from the date of
publication of the notice.

Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect the
functions of the Director of the Office of Management
and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or
legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

April 9, 2025.
