Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions

The order formally revokes seven prior presidential actions: EO 13772 on core financial regulation principles, EO 13828 on poverty reduction and economic mobility, a January 2020 memo delegating labor-management relations authority, EO 13924 on regulatory relief for economic recovery, a September 2020 memo on federal funding to cities permitting civil unrest, EO 13967 on promoting classical federal civic architecture, and EO 13979 on democratic accountability in agency rulemaking. By revoking these actions, the order removes their legal authority as operative directives.

Section 2 directs the OMB Director and the heads of all executive departments and agencies to promptly consider rescinding any implementing orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, or policies — in whole or in part — that were issued to carry out the revoked actions, consistent with applicable law including the Administrative Procedure Act. Any personnel positions, committees, task forces, or other entities established under those revoked orders must also be abolished as appropriate.

The OMB Director and all executive department and agency heads, who must review and potentially rescind implementing rules tied to the seven revoked actions. Federal employees serving on committees or task forces created under those orders are also affected, as those bodies are directed to be abolished.

Federal rules and policies built on the seven revoked orders lose their executive-order foundation, but actual regulatory changes require agencies to complete their own rescission processes under the Administrative Procedure Act — meaning regulated parties in financial services, federal contracting, and local government may see follow-on rulemaking over time.

The revocations take effect immediately, but unwinding implementing rules is indirect: each agency head and OMB must independently decide what to rescind, and formal rules generally require notice-and-comment rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act before they can be changed or eliminated. The order sets no specific timeline beyond "promptly" and imposes no reporting requirement, leaving the pace and scope of unwinding to agency discretion. Committees and task forces tied to the revoked orders are directed to be abolished as appropriate.
