Plain-language summary
Revokes Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 of Executive Order 13961 (Governance and Integration of Federal Mission Resilience), which had addressed federal mission resilience policy. Renumbers the remaining Sections 2, 6, and 8 of that order as Sections 1, 2, and 3. Amends the newly renumbered Section 1 by removing a clause referring to achieving the prior policy. Amends the newly renumbered Section 2(b) to replace a reference to the Executive Committee established under the old order's Section 3 with a reference to the Restricted Principals Committee described in a National Security Memorandum on National Continuity Policy issued the same day. States that the order does not alter existing legal authorities of agencies or the Office of Management and Budget, must be implemented consistent with law and available funding, and does not create enforceable rights against the government.
