What does Executive Order 13102 do?
EO 13102 made one change to EO 13038 as previously amended: it replaced the committee’s October 1, 1998 reporting deadline with December 31, 1998. The committee transmitted its final report on December 18, covering broadcasting policy, children’s programming, accessibility and related issues. EO 13138 later revoked EO 13038 and its amendments after the committee’s work was complete, nullifying EO 13102.
