Establishing the Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector
This executive order establishes a formal interagency committee to review foreign participation in U.S. telecommunications, giving the Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security a structured process to assess national security risks in FCC licenses and applications. The Committee can recommend that the FCC deny, condition, modify, or revoke licenses based on these security reviews.
Continuance of Certain Federal Advisory Committees

Evaluating and Improving the Utility of Federal Advisory Committees
This executive order requires federal agencies to evaluate and reduce their advisory committees by terminating at least one-third of discretionary committees by September 30, 2019. It caps the total number of eligible advisory committees government-wide at 350 and mandates reporting to OMB on committee continuations and terminations.
Securing the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain
This executive order declares a national emergency to block U.S. transactions involving information and communications technology from foreign adversaries when the Commerce Secretary determines they pose undue risks to national security, critical infrastructure, or the digital economy. It delegates broad authority to Commerce to prohibit or mitigate such transactions and requires intelligence and security assessments on foreign technology threats.
America's Cybersecurity Workforce
This executive order establishes programs to grow and strengthen the federal and national cybersecurity workforce through rotational assignments, skills assessments, competitions, and education awards. It mandates adoption of the NICE Framework for cybersecurity skills standards across government contracts and encourages its voluntary use in private-sector and academic training. The order also creates reporting mechanisms and deadlines for multiple agencies to assess workforce gaps and implement workforce development initiatives.
Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence
This executive order establishes the American AI Initiative, a coordinated federal strategy to maintain U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence through increased R&D investment, expanded access to federal data and computing resources, workforce development, and protection of AI technologies from foreign acquisition. It directs agencies to prioritize AI in budgeting, issues multiple deadlines for reports and guidance on data access, regulation, standards, and security, and creates governance structures through the National Science and Technology Council Select Committee on AI.
Efficient Federal Operations

Streamlining and Expediting Requests To Locate Broadband Facilities in Rural America

Continuance of Certain Federal Advisory Committees
This executive order extends the existence of 32 federal advisory committees until September 30, 2019, transfers FACA compliance responsibilities from the President to agency heads, revokes the Infrastructure advisory council created two months earlier, and takes effect September 30, 2017.
Establishing Discipline and Accountability in the Environmental Review and Permitting Process for Infrastructure Projects
This executive order overhauls federal environmental review and permitting for infrastructure projects by establishing a "One Federal Decision" framework, setting a two-year goal for completing reviews of major projects, creating performance accountability scorecards tracked by OMB, and revoking the previous administration's Federal Flood Risk Management Standard. It mandates interagency coordination through lead agencies, quarterly permitting timetables, and automatic escalation of missed milestones to senior officials, with potential budgetary penalties for poor performance.
Establishment of Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity
This executive order created a temporary Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, chaired by the Vice President with up to 15 additional presidential appointees.

Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure
This executive order mandates federal agencies to adopt the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and modernize IT infrastructure, while directing multiple cabinet departments to assess and report on cybersecurity risks to critical infrastructure, deterrence strategies, international cooperation, and workforce development. It establishes accountability for agency heads in managing cybersecurity risk and requires extensive reports on federal IT modernization, botnet resilience, electricity grid vulnerabilities, and defense industrial base risks.
Establishment of the American Technology Council
This executive order creates the American Technology Council (ATC), a high-level interagency body chaired by the President to coordinate federal IT modernization and digital service delivery.
