This executive order, signed by President Donald J. Trump (1st Term) on 2017-09-29, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Continuance of Certain Federal Advisory Committees."

Constitutional Assessment: Reviewed under the Tenth Amendment and the principle of dual federalism, this order touches upon domains traditionally reserved to the sovereign States.
