President: Bill Clinton
Continued fifteen advisory committees through September 1999, retired completed bodies and amended digital-TV and overseas-appointment orders.
Status: Superseded. Is Executive Order 13062 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13062 was superseded. See Executive Order 13138: Continuance of Certain Federal Advisory Committees.
What does Executive Order 13062 do?
EO 13062 continued fifteen listed advisory committees to September 30, 1999, assigned their FACA administration to sponsoring agencies and revoked five completed committee orders. It superseded EO 12974, raised the digital-TV advisory committee membership cap from 15 to 22, and revised the American Institute in Taiwan family-member appointment provision of EO 13054. EO 13138 later superseded sections 1 through 4; the separate amendments must be traced through their parent orders.
Before and after
Before the order
Fifteen listed committees faced periodic termination; five completed committee orders remained on the books.
After the order
The fifteen bodies continued temporarily, five completed orders were revoked, the digital-TV cap became 22 and EO 13054 eligibility wording changed.
Who had to do what
| Agency / office | Action | Timing / position |
|---|---|---|
| Sponsoring agencies | Administer continued committees under FACA | Historical |
| Digital-TV advisory committee | Operate with a 22-member cap | Completed |
| OPM and agencies | Apply EO 13054 eligibility as amended | Subject to later authority |
What happened next
EO 13062 continued fifteen committees and amended two orders.
EO 13138 superseded sections 1–4 and revoked the completed digital-TV committee framework.
Legal and source detail
How it works legally
Section 1 lists subsections (a) through (o), fifteen committees. Section 3 revokes five completed orders; section 4 supersedes EO 12974; sections 5 and 6 amend EOs 13038 and 13054. Supersession of sections 1–4 does not itself undo the separately executed amendments.
