Executive Order 13564 of January 31, 2011

Establishment of the President's Council on Jobs
and Competitiveness

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, and in order to continue to strengthen the
Nation's economy and ensure the competitiveness of the
United States and to create jobs, opportunity, and
prosperity for the American people by ensuring the
availability of non-partisan advice to the President
from participants in and experts on the economy, it is
hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. There is hereby established within the
Department of the Treasury the President's Council on
Jobs and Competitiveness (PCJC). The PCJC shall consist
of members appointed by the President from among
distinguished citizens outside the Federal Government
and shall include citizens chosen to serve as
representatives of the various sectors of the economy
to offer the diverse perspectives of the private
sector, employers, and workers on how the Federal
Government can best foster growth, competitiveness,
innovation, and job creation. The members may also
include citizens selected based on their expertise and
experience to offer independent advice. The President
shall designate a Chair from among the members. A Co-
Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science
and Technology who is not serving in the Federal
Government and the Chair and Vice Chair of the
President's Export Council shall serve as ex-officio
members. The Treasury may provide the PCJC with a
staff, as necessary.

Sec. 2. The functions of the PCJC are advisory only.
The PCJC shall meet regularly and shall:

(a) solicit ideas from across the country about how
to bolster the economy and the prosperity of the
American people that can inform the decisionmaking of
the President, and with respect to matters deemed
appropriate by the President, provide information and
recommendations to any executive department or agency
(agency) with responsibilities related to the economy,
growth, innovation, American competitiveness, or job
creation;
(b) report directly to the President on the design,
implementation, and evaluation of policies to promote
the growth of the American economy, enhance the skills
and education of Americans, maintain a stable and sound
financial and banking system, create stable jobs for
American workers, and improve the long-term prosperity
and competitiveness of the American people; and
(c) provide analysis and information with respect
to the operation, regulation, and healthy functioning
of the economy and other factors that may contribute to
the sustainable growth and competitiveness of American
industry and the American labor force. As deemed
appropriate by the President, this analysis and
information shall be provided to the Chairman of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the
National Economic Council, or any agency with
responsibilities related to the economy, growth,
innovation, American competitiveness, or job creation.

Sec. 3. Administration of the PCJC. (a) All agencies
and all offices within the Executive Office of the
President shall cooperate with the PCJC and provide
such information and assistance to the PCJC as the
Chair of the PCJC may request, to the extent permitted
by law.

(b) The Department of the Treasury shall provide
funding and administrative support for the PCJC to the
extent permitted by law and within existing
appropriations.
(c) Members of the PCJC shall serve without
compensation but may receive transportation expenses,
including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as
authorized by law for persons serving intermittently in
the Government (5 U.S.C. 5701-5707), consistent with
the availability of funds.

Sec. 4. Termination. The PCJC shall terminate 2 years
after the date of this order unless extended by the
President.

Sec. 5. Revocation of Executive Order 13501. Executive
Order 13501 of February 6, 2009 (Establishing the
President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board), is
hereby revoked.

Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Insofar as the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.) (the
``Act''), may apply to the PCJC, any functions of the
President under the Act, except for those in section 6
of the Act, shall be performed by the Secretary of the
Treasury in accordance with the guidelines that have
been issued by the Administrator of General Services.

(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to
impair or otherwise affect:

(i) authority granted by law to a department or agency, or the head
thereof; or

(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(c) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(d) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
