Continuance of Certain Federal Advisory Committees and Amendments to Other Executive Orders
The order continues 37 federal advisory committees for two more years through September 30, 2025, superseding the prior 2021 continuance order, and makes targeted amendments to two earlier executive orders governing specific advisory commissions.
What this order does
What it orders
The order continues 37 named federal advisory committees — spanning topics from White House preservation to HIV/AIDS policy to national monument management — through September 30, 2025. Each committee remains under the oversight of a designated department or agency head, who carries out presidential functions for that committee under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The order supersedes Sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order 14048 (September 30, 2021), which had previously continued these committees.
The order also amends Executive Order 14031, which governs the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, by expanding the commission's advisory duties and adding a liaison and spokesperson role for members. It separately amends Executive Order 14084, which governs the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, by raising the member cap from 25 to 30 and adding a similar liaison function for the Executive Director and members.
Who it affects
Members and staff of the 37 continued federal advisory committees, the federal departments and agencies designated to oversee each committee, and the public constituencies those committees serve — including workers, veterans, small businesses, minority communities, scientists, and national monument stakeholders.
Why it matters
Without this renewal, the listed advisory committees would lapse under the Federal Advisory Committee Act's automatic termination rules, halting their ongoing work advising the executive branch on topics ranging from occupational safety to HIV/AIDS policy to national infrastructure security.
What must happen and when
How the order is supposed to work
Each committee's designated agency head assumes the President's statutory functions under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, following General Services Administration regulations and guidelines. The order takes effect September 30, 2023 — the day prior continuances would have expired — ensuring no gap in committee authority. The two targeted amendments to EO 14031 and EO 14084 take effect simultaneously and are self-executing; they require no further rulemaking.
