Executive Order 13092: President's Information Technology Advisory Committee, Amendments to Executive Order 13035

President: Bill Clinton

Renamed a federal technology advisory committee as PITAC and raised its permitted nonfederal membership from 25 to 30.

Status: Completed/expired. Is Executive Order 13092 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13092 is completed or expired. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 13092 do?

EO 13092 made two changes to EO 13035: it named the body the President’s Information Technology Advisory Committee and raised its permitted nonfederal membership from 25 to 30. It did not create a new agency or order a technology program. Later orders extended and amended the advisory committee, and EO 13385 assigned PITAC’s role and responsibilities to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Federal records document PITAC reports and meetings from the period.

Administration position: This was a committee name and membership change, not a standing obligation on technology companies.
