Status: Completed/expired. Is Executive Order 13064 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13064 is completed or expired. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 13064 do?

EO 13064 expanded the critical-infrastructure advisory committee from 15 to 20 members and allowed public-sector representation. The Principals, Steering and Advisory Committees could review the commission report until no later than March 15, 1998, with limited retained staff supported by Defense. It also designated the NSC Executive Secretary for specified classification decisions.
