Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping
This executive order prohibits federal agencies, uniformed services, contractors, and grant recipients from conducting or funding workplace training that promotes certain "divisive concepts" related to race and sex stereotyping, including the ideas that the U.S. is fundamentally racist or sexist, that individuals are inherently oppressive based on race or sex, or that meritocracy is racist. It mandates contract clauses, establishes a hotline for complaints, requires agency reviews and reporting, and imposes potential debarment and adverse personnel actions for noncompliance.
Promoting Efficient Spending
This executive order directs federal agencies to reduce administrative costs by 20 percent below 2010 levels by fiscal year 2013, targeting travel, IT devices, printing, executive fleet use, and promotional items. Agencies must submit cost-reduction plans to OMB within 45 days and implement controls to curb spending on these operational areas.
Delivering an Efficient, Effective, and Accountable Government
This executive order establishes a Government Accountability and Transparency Board to expand anti-fraud tools and spending transparency across federal agencies, building on Recovery Act practices. It reinforces the Accountable Government Initiative by assigning performance reform responsibilities to agency Chief Operating Officers and Chief Financial Officers, with quarterly metric updates on performance.gov and monthly reporting on $2.1 billion in administrative cost savings targets.
Administrative Allegations Against Inspectors General
This executive order establishes an Integrity Committee within the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency (PCIE) and Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency (ECIE) to independently investigate administrative allegations of wrongdoing against Inspectors General and certain senior staff members of Offices of Inspectors General when internal investigations are not feasible or appropriate jurisdiction is lacking. The FBI member serves as Chair, with authority to conduct investigations using detailed agency personnel, and the committee operates under established policies with reporting requirements to agency heads and the PCIE/ECIE Chairperson.
Integrity and Efficiency in Federal Programs
This executive order establishes the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency as an interagency committee to coordinate government-wide efforts against fraud, waste, and abuse in federal programs. It also creates a Coordinating Conference to extend these efforts to additional agencies with audit and investigative resources, while revoking the previous EO 12301 from 1981.
President's Intelligence Oversight Board
This executive order establishes the President's Intelligence Oversight Board (PIOB), a three-member body within the White House Office tasked with monitoring the legality of U.S. intelligence activities. The Board reports directly to the President on potential violations of law, forwards concerns to the Attorney General, reviews agency guidelines and inspector general procedures, and investigates matters as needed. Members are unpaid outside citizens appointed by the President, with full-time staff and security clearance requirements.
