Limiting Lame-Duck Collective Bargaining Agreements That Improperly Attempt To Constrain the New President
This memorandum blocks federal agencies from approving collective bargaining agreements executed in the 30 days before a presidential transition that create new obligations, make substantive changes, or extend existing agreements. It specifically targets a Department of Education CBA from January 17, 2025, and directs agency heads to disapprove any such pending agreements, with an exemption for law enforcement officer CBAs.
Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects
This executive order requires project labor agreements (PLAs)—pre-hire collective bargaining agreements with labor unions—for federal construction projects costing $35 million or more. It revokes a prior Obama-era EO on the same topic and mandates implementing regulations, contracting officer training, and public reporting on exceptions.
Increasing the Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors
This executive order raises the minimum wage for workers on federal contracts to $15.00 per hour, effective January 30, 2022, with annual inflation adjustments beginning January 1, 2023. It also establishes a phased increase for tipped workers and revokes a 2018 exemption for recreational services on federal lands.
Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions
This executive order revokes seven Trump-era executive orders and memoranda covering financial regulation, poverty programs, labor-management relations, regulatory relief, federal funding to cities, federal architecture, and agency rulemaking accountability. It directs OMB and agency heads to rescind implementing rules and abolish related entities as appropriate under law.
Revocation of Executive Order 13801
This executive order revokes Executive Order 13801 (2017), which had established a task force and framework to expand industry-recognized apprenticeship programs. It directs agencies to rescind implementing rules and abolish related entities, while preserving compliance with the Administrative Procedure Act and other applicable law.
Protecting the Federal Workforce
This executive order revokes Trump-era policies that weakened federal employee protections, including Schedule F (which would have made career civil servants easier to fire) and three 2018 executive orders restricting union activities. It also requires agencies to bargain over certain labor matters and directs OPM to recommend a $15/hour minimum wage for federal workers.
Exemption From Executive Order 13658 for Recreational Services on Federal Lands
This executive order exempts seasonal recreational services and equipment rentals on federal lands from the federal contractor minimum wage requirements established by Executive Order 13658, while maintaining those wage requirements for lodging and food services associated with such recreational activities. The order aims to reduce costs for guided outdoor activities on federal lands by allowing outfitters and guides to pay wages below the federal contractor minimum.
Revocation of Executive Order Creating Labor- Management Forums
This executive order revokes a 2009 Obama-era order that created the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations and agency-level labor-management forums, which were intended to promote collaboration between federal management and unions. The Trump administration cited inefficient use of taxpayer dollars and managerial time as justification, and directed agencies to promptly rescind all implementing rules and policies.
Restoring the Rule of Law, Federalism, and Economic Growth by Reviewing the "Waters of the United States" Rule
This executive order directs the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers to review and propose rescinding or revising the 2015 Clean Water Rule ("Waters of the United States"), which had expanded federal jurisdiction over waterways. It instructs agencies to consider Justice Scalia's narrower interpretation of "navigable waters" from Rapanos v. United States in future rulemaking, and to review all related implementing policies for consistency with the order's policy goals.
Managing Government Records
This memorandum launches an executive branch-wide effort to modernize federal records management for the digital age, requiring agencies to designate senior officials and submit reform plans within 120 days. The OMB Director and National Archivist must then issue a binding directive to transition agencies from paper-based to electronic records management and improve government transparency and efficiency.
Increasing Federal Employment of Individuals With Disabilities
This executive order directs federal agencies to increase recruitment, hiring, and retention of individuals with disabilities, with specific numerical goals and mandatory training programs. It revives implementation of a 2000 Clinton-era hiring target of 100,000 additional workers with disabilities over 5 years, requires agency-specific plans with performance targets, and mandates improvements to return-to-work programs for injured federal employees.
Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Regulatory Planning and Review
This executive order revokes two Bush-era executive orders (13258 and 13422) that had amended the regulatory review process established under Executive Order 12866. It directs OMB and agency heads to promptly rescind implementing rules and policies tied to the revoked orders. The action restores the pre-2002 framework for regulatory planning and review.
Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction
This executive order establishes a presidential commission to review U.S. intelligence capabilities regarding weapons of mass destruction, with a specific mandate to examine pre-war intelligence on Iraq and compare it with post-invasion findings. The commission must report by March 31, 2005, after which it terminates within 60 days.
Further Amendment to Executive Order 12580, as Amended, Superfund Implementation
This executive order amends Superfund implementation rules by adding Section 105(h) to presidential authorities, delegating specific CERCLA functions related to natural resource restoration and brownfields to EPA and other federal agencies, and clarifying interagency consultation requirements.
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This executive order requires federal agencies to prepare and publish a 'Statement of Energy Effects' for significant regulatory actions that could adversely affect energy supply, distribution, or use. The statements must analyze adverse energy impacts and alternatives, and be submitted to OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs alongside existing Executive Order 12866 submissions.
Preservation of Open Competition and Government Neutrality Towards Government Contractors'Labor Relations on Federal and Federally Funded Construction Projects
This executive order prohibits federal agencies from requiring or prohibiting project labor agreements (PLAs) on federal and federally funded construction projects, effectively banning mandatory PLAs while allowing voluntary ones. It revokes the Clinton-era policy encouraging PLAs on federal projects and directs regulatory changes within 60 days.
Federalism
This executive order establishes internal executive branch guidance to limit federal overreach and protect state authority under federalism principles. It requires agencies to assess policies for federalism implications, restricts preemption of state law, and mandates consultation with states before imposing national standards.
The Family
This executive order requires federal agencies to assess policies and regulations for their impact on family stability, parental authority, and family finances using seven specified criteria. It establishes a reporting and coordination structure through OMB and the Office of Policy Development, with mandatory written certifications for proposals affecting families.
