Executive Order 13077: Further Amendment to Executive Order 13010, Critical Infrastructure Protection

President: Bill Clinton

Moved two sunset dates for the critical-infrastructure advisory committee from March to September 1998.

Status: In effect. Is Executive Order 13077 still in effect? Yes. Executive Order 13077 remains in effect. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 13077 do?

EO 13077 made a narrow change to EO 13010: it replaced March 15, 1998 with September 30, 1998 in two provisions governing the President’s Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection advisory structure. It created no public cyber-security rule. The National Archives says the change was nullified when EO 13138 abolished the committee in 1999.

Administration position: This was a deadline extension for an advisory body, not a continuing duty on private infrastructure operators.
