Executive Order 13148: Greening the Government Through Leadership in Environmental Management
President: Bill Clinton
Set environmental-management and pollution-reduction goals for federal facilities.
Status: Revoked — by EO 13423 in 2007.
Is Executive Order 13148 still in effect? No. EO 13423 revoked it in 2007.
What does Executive Order 13148 do?
EO 13148 directed agencies to integrate environmental management, compliance audits, pollution prevention, toxic-chemical reductions, emergency planning and public reporting into federal operations. EO 13423 revoked it in 2007. A later federal-sustainability directive, EO 14057, was itself revoked in January 2025 by EO 14154. These changes do not revive EO 13148 or erase environmental duties imposed separately by statute and regulation.
Later status reviewed October 2, 2026: EO 13423 revoked EO 13148 in 2007. EO 14154 later revoked EO 14057 in 2025; that does not reinstate EO 13148.
Before and after
Before the order
Earlier orders addressed federal environmental compliance and procurement in separate pieces.

What happened next
EO 13148 set federal environmental-management and pollution-reduction requirements.

EO 14057 set later federal sustainability goals.
EO 14154 revoked EO 14057.
The revocation chain and current statutory distinction were rechecked.
Legal and source detail
How it works legally
EO 13148 is revoked. Later executive sustainability policy changed again when EO 14057 was revoked in 2025. Environmental statutes, regulations and independent agency duties remain governed by their own texts; revocation of an executive management order does not repeal those laws.
