Greening the Government Through Federal Fleet and Transportation Efficiency

It assigns implementation responsibilities to OMB, DOE, EPA, and GSA, with specific reporting and strategy deadlines.
Coral Reef Protection
This executive order establishes a federal policy to protect U.S. coral reef ecosystems by requiring agencies to identify actions affecting reefs and avoid degrading them. It creates the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force co-chaired by Interior and Commerce to coordinate mapping, monitoring, research, conservation, and international cooperation efforts.
Amendment to Executive Order No. 12580
This executive order amends a 1987 order to delegate certain hazardous substance response authorities under CERCLA (Superfund) to five additional Cabinet secretaries (Interior, Commerce, Agriculture, Defense, Energy) for releases affecting their natural resources or facilities, subject to concurrence from either the Coast Guard (for coastal/Great Lakes/port/harbor areas) or the EPA Administrator (for other areas). The order explicitly prohibits using Superfund money to pay for responses when a responsible party fails to comply with an order.

Implementation of the Border Environment Cooperation Commission and the North American Development Bank
This executive order implements two binational institutions created alongside NAFTA: the Border Environment Cooperation Commission (BECC) and the North American Development Bank (NADBank).
