Executive Order 13403: Amendments to Executive Orders 11030, 13279, 13339, 13381, and 13389, and Revocation of Executive Order 13011
President: George W. Bush
Made six targeted changes to existing orders, including revoking the 1996 federal IT order.
Status: In effect. Is Executive Order 13403 still in effect? Yes. Executive Order 13403 remains in effect. See Federal Register record.
What does Executive Order 13403 do?
The order modernized EO 11030 drafting and citation rules, updated faith-based agency coverage, extended the EO 13339 council, preserved one EO 13381 amendment beyond its sunset, removed a succession clause from EO 13389 and revoked EO 13011. EO 13408 soon moved EO 13381’s two sunset dates to 2007. That later extension concerns one parent order, not every amendment in EO 13403.
Before and after
Before the order
EOs 11030, 13279, 13339, 13381 and 13389 governed presidential-document preparation, faith-based centers, an advisory council, security-clearance processes and Homeland Security succession; EO 13011 set federal IT policy.

What did the signed order change?

What happened later?
EO 13408 — later extension of EO 13381: EO 13408 soon moved EO 13381’s two sunset dates to 2007. That later extension concerns one parent order, not every amendment in EO 13403.
What does that evidence establish?
The scope of each change is confined to the named section of its parent order. EO 13011 was revoked outright. The later extension of EO 13381 does not revive EO 13011. Read the signed order for its original terms.
