Plain-language summary
Extends the operation of fifteen federal advisory committees until September 30, 2013, including the Committee for the Preservation of the White House, President's Commission on White House Fellowships, President's Committee on the National Medal of Science, President's Export Council, President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, National Infrastructure Advisory Council, and others, assigning oversight of each to the head of its designated department or agency under General Services Administration guidelines. Supersedes related provisions of Executive Order 13511. Also amends Executive Order 13515, which established the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, by changing its leadership structure so the Secretary of Education and a presidentially designated official serve as Co-Chairs of the related Initiative, replacing the prior arrangement with the Secretaries of Education and Commerce, and by adding the Departments of Commerce and Education to the Initiative's list of member agencies. The order takes effect September 30, 2011.
