Summary
This order updates an earlier executive order to change who serves on the Board of the Border Environment Cooperation Commission and the North American Development Bank. It names the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator as Board members, and says the Treasury Secretary will chair when the United States selects the chair.
It also requires the Treasury Secretary to coordinate U.S. policies before the Board, makes certain presidential appointments serve at the President's pleasure, renames an advisory committee, and says the order only affects internal government management.
