What does Executive Order 13805 do?
EO 13805 established a proposed Commerce-supported Presidential Advisory Council on Infrastructure of up to 15 appointed members. Its advisory mission covered project priorities, permits, funding, procurement and technology. It was to report recommendations and had a sunset clause. EO 13811 expressly revoked the order on September 29, 2017. The reviewed official record does not establish that the proposed council delivered a report before revocation; the order itself did not fund or approve an infrastructure project.
