in effect
This is Executive Order 14146, signed January 19, 2025 and published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2025. It is a presidential order that partially revokes an earlier order, Executive Order 13961 of December 7, 2020, titled “Governance and Integration of Federal Mission Resilience.” Rather than cancelling the older order entirely, it removes some parts, keeps others, and renumbers and rewords what remains.
It repeals five sections of the 2020 order — Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 — while leaving Sections 2, 6, and 8 in force. Those three surviving sections are renumbered as Sections 1, 2, and 3. The order also makes two wording edits to the surviving text: in the new Section 1 it deletes the phrase “To achieve this policy, in conjunction” and replaces it with “In conjunction,” and in the new Section 2(b) it replaces a reference to “the Executive Committee established in section 3 of this order” with “the Restricted Principals Committee described in section 3 of the National Security Memorandum of January 19, 2025 (National Continuity Policy).” The order includes standard boilerplate stating it must be carried out consistent with existing law and available funding, and that it creates no legally enforceable rights.
This is an internal government-operations order, so its direct effects fall on federal executive departments and agencies involved in “mission resilience” and continuity-of-government planning, not on the general public. In practice it shifts oversight of that work from the Executive Committee named in the 2020 order to the “Restricted Principals Committee” set up under a separate January 19, 2025 National Security Memorandum. The order explicitly states it does not create any right or benefit enforceable in court by any person against the United States.
