What is the penalty for non-compliance? "Nullum crimen sine lege" is a pretty fundamental part of the law; and Congress has not passed any laws that would give the President the authority to do these things.

An executive order is direction from the President to executive branch agencies. Penalties for other people for violating regulations, etc., drafted under an EO will depend on the EO; except for consequences for insubordination within the executive branch, there generally aren't penalties for violating an EO itself.

While the actual text of the order (which, usually for executive orders, would included very specific references to authority) doesn't appear to be published, some authorities, including the Defense Production Act, for the order are cited in the fact sheet.
