Plain-language summary

Auto-generated summaryWritten by claude-sonnet-5 from the order’s own text · prompt v4 ·

Revokes Executive Order 12924, which had continued export control regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act following the reauthorization of the Export Administration Act of 1979, and rescinds the related declaration of economic emergency. States that this revocation does not affect any violations that occurred while the earlier order was in effect, and that existing rules, regulations, licenses, and other administrative actions issued under it, including those codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, remain in force until amended or revoked by proper authority. Preserves the continued applicability of administration and delegation provisions in several earlier executive orders, and specifies that rules relating to section 38(e) of the Arms Export Control Act remain in effect until changed by proper authority.

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, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq.) (the “Act”), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, 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

Revokes: EO 12924, August 19, 1994; See: EO 12002, July 7, 1977; EO 12214, May 2, 1980; EO 12938, November 14, 1994; EO 12981, December 5, 1995; EO 13026, November 15, 1996

Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
