Further Continuance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council

What it does

• •Extends the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council's existence until 10 days after submission of a required report to the President or May 29, 2026, whichever occurs first.
• •Delegates the President's Federal Advisory Committee Act functions for this Council to the Secretary of Homeland Security, who must follow General Services Administration regulations and procedures.
• •Supersedes the previous continuance order (Executive Order 14378) with this new extension order.

Why it matters

• •The Council was originally established to assess FEMA and produce a required report; this order keeps it operational to complete that mandate.
• •Designating the Secretary of Homeland Security as the administrative authority clarifies which official oversees the Council's compliance with federal advisory committee rules.

Who is affected

• •The Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council and its members.
• •The Department of Homeland Security and its Secretary, who assumes administrative oversight functions.

What happens next

The Council continues operating under these terms until the specified report is submitted to the President or May 29, 2026, at which point the extension terminates unless further action is taken.
