Executive Order 12841: Adjustments to Levels IV and V of the Executive Schedule

President: Bill Clinton

Amended EO 12154’s assignment of positions to Executive Schedule levels IV and V, changing the Commissioner on Aging and related entries.

Status: Superseded. Is Executive Order 12841 still in effect? No. Executive Order 12841 was superseded. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 12841 do?

EO 12841 amended EO 12154 by moving the Commissioner on Aging from Executive Schedule level V to level IV, deleting a transition-manager position and relettering entries. Later orders amended EO 12154 again. The 2024 U.S. Code notes preserve the amendment history and show the later title Assistant Secretary for Aging; the current classification must be read with the later legal changes.

Administration position: The order made personnel-classification assignments; it did not state or establish a broader policy outcome.
