Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 13010, which established the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection. Changes the rule for choosing the Commission's Chair so that a qualified individual from outside the federal government is designated by the President from among the Commission's members. Restructures the Commission's Steering Committee to comprise five members: four appointed by the President and the fifth being the Commission's Chair, with two of the five required to be employees of the Executive Office of the President. Also increases a numerical limit in section 5 of the original order from ten to 15. The order does not otherwise describe the Commission's duties or timeline.

Legal standing
Not yet published. Court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to individual orders will appear here once each can be linked to its source record.
Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.
Claimed authority
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to amend Executive Order 13010, it is hereby ordered
Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
Disposition
Amends: EO 13010, July 15, 1996 Note: EO 13025 is nullified in part by virtue of the Advisory Committee of the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection being abolished by EO 13138, September 30, 1999.
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
