Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 12852, which established the President's Council on Sustainable Development, in three ways: it increases the number of Council members from 29 to 35, changes the department listed as a designated agency in two sections from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Energy, and extends the Council's operating deadline from June 29, 1997 to February 28, 1999. The order applies to the membership and administration of the Council itself and does not create new duties for the public.

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 12852 for various purposes, 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 12852, June 29, 1993 Note: EO 13053 is nullified by virtue of the Council 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.
