What does Executive Order 13130 do?

EO 13130 established a presidential council of up to 30 private-sector experts to advise on information sharing, risk assessment, research and public-private cooperation for critical infrastructure. EO 13231 revoked it in October 2001 and established a successor council, later renamed the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC). EO 14109 continued the NIAC through September 30, 2025. EO 14354, signed in 2025 to continue listed committees through 2027, did not include it. CISA’s public NIAC page remains available, but the sources reviewed do not establish a presidential continuation beyond 2025.
