Summary

This order amends a prior executive order (Executive Order No. 12898) by changing the timing language in section 1-103(e). It removes references to a "12 month" period and replaces them with the specific date March 24, 1995, including interim wording covering the period from the order date through that date.

The change affects agencies and officials required to follow the earlier order and clarifies when required actions must be completed, making the deadline explicit rather than tied to a 12-month period.
