Executive Order 13226 of September 30, 2001
President's Council of Advisors on Science and
Technology
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), and in order to establish
an advisory committee on science and technology, it is
hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Establishment. There is established the
President's Council of Advisors on Science and
Technology (PCAST). The PCAST shall be composed of not
more than 25 members, one of whom shall be a Federal
Government official designated by the President (the
``Official''), and 24 of whom shall be nonfederal
members appointed by the President and have diverse
perspectives and expertise in science, technology, and
the impact of science and technology on the Nation. The
Official shall co-chair PCAST with a nonfederal member
designated by the President.
Sec. 2. Functions. (a) The PCAST shall advise the
President, through the Official, on matters involving
science and technology policy.
(b) In performance of its advisory duties, the
PCAST shall assist the National Science and Technology
Council (NSTC) in securing private sector involvement
in its activities.
Sec. 3. Administration. (a) The heads of the executive
departments and agencies shall, to the extent permitted
by law, provide the PCAST with information concerning
scientific and technological matters when requested by
the PCAST co-chairs.
(b) In consultation with the Official, the PCAST is
authorized to convene ad hoc working groups to provide
preliminary nonbinding information and advice directly
to the PCAST.
(c) Members shall serve without compensation for
their work on the PCAST. However, members may be
allowed travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of
subsistence, as authorized by law for persons serving
intermittently in the government service (5 U.S.C.
5701-5707).
(d) Any expenses of the PCAST shall be paid from
the funds available for the expenses of the Office of
Science and Technology Policy.
(e) The Office of Science and Technology Policy
shall provide such administrative services as the PCAST
may require, with the approval of the Official.
Sec. 4. General. (a) Notwithstanding any other
Executive Order, the functions of the President with
respect to the PCAST under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, as amended, except that of reporting to
the Congress, shall be performed by the Office of
Science and Technology Policy in accordance with the
guidelines and procedures established by the
Administrator of General Services.
(b) The PCAST shall terminate 2 years from the date
of this order unless extended by the President prior to
that date.
