Also amends Executive Order 13390 by making a minor punctuation correction and similarly extending its expiration date to February 28, 2009. Both original orders relate to authorities established under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The changes apply to the federal officials and structures governed by those two 2005 orders.

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, including the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 5121-5206), 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 13389, November 1, 2005; EO 13390, November 1, 2005
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
