Continuance of Certain Federal Advisory Committees

On September 30, 2025, the President issued an order to extend the operation of several federal advisory committees until September 30, 2027. This decision complies with the Federal Advisory Committee Act and pertains to various committees that offer advice on matters such as national security, health, and environmental policies. Each committee listed in the order has specific mandates and is linked to different federal departments, ensuring ongoing expert consultation in their respective fields.

The committees mentioned include the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships, the National Industrial Security Program Policy Advisory Committee, and the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS, among others. This extension aims to maintain expert guidance in critical areas affecting the nation while allowing departmental heads to manage their functions in accordance with established regulations. The order supersedes previous executive orders related to the functions of these committees and clarifies the implementation process.

The order underscores that it does not create any enforceable rights or benefits and must be executed within the constraints of applicable laws and budget considerations. It reflects the administration’s commitment to keeping advisory roles active in supporting federal initiatives. The continuation of these committees is viewed as essential for informed policy-making and engagement with various stakeholders.
