This executive order substantially revises Executive Order 12333 to strengthen the authority of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) over the Intelligence Community, reflecting reforms from the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act. It codifies the DNI's role in coordinating intelligence activities, establishes new management structures including Functional and Mission Managers, and sets detailed duties for intelligence agencies while emphasizing protection of civil liberties and information sharing.
This executive order amends maritime security regulations to expand Coast Guard enforcement authority following 9/11. It defines 'Area Commander' as a new command level and explicitly subordinates all Coast Guard maritime security authority to the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard operates (then the newly transferred Department of Homeland Security).
