An executive order signed March 24, 2026, extends the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council, according to a document published March 27, 2026, in the Federal Register. Executive Order 14397 continues the council until 10 days after a required report is submitted to the President, or until May 29, 2026, whichever occurs first, the order says.
The council was originally established by an executive order in January 2025 and previously extended in January 2026, according to the document. The current action supersedes the first two sections of that previous extension order.
The document directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to perform the President’s functions regarding the council under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The secretary must carry out these functions in accordance with guidelines and procedures established by the Administrator of General Services, the order says.
The document states that the Department of Homeland Security will pay the costs for publishing the order.
The order notes that it does not impair the existing authority of executive departments or the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The document also states that the directive does not create any enforceable rights or benefits by any party against the United States, and that implementation must follow existing laws and depends on available funding.
