Executive Order 14091 of February 16, 2023
Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for
Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. On my first day in office, I signed
Executive Order 13985 of January 20, 2021 (Advancing
Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities
Through the Federal Government), which charged the
Federal Government with advancing equity for all,
including communities that have long been underserved,
and addressing systemic racism in our Nation's policies
and programs. By advancing equity, the Federal
Government can support and empower all Americans,
including the many communities in America that have
been underserved, discriminated against, and adversely
affected by persistent poverty and inequality. We can
also deliver resources and benefits equitably to the
people of the United States and rebuild trust in
Government.
Over the past 2 years, through landmark legislation--
including the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public
Law 117-2); the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) (Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law); division A of Public Law 117-167,
known as the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce
Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act of 2022; Public Law 117-169,
commonly referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022; and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (Public
Law 117-159)--as well as executive action, my
Administration has vigorously championed racial equity
and has advanced equal opportunity for underserved
communities. Executive departments and agencies
(agencies) have engaged in historic work assessing how
their policies and programs perpetuate barriers for
underserved communities and developing strategies for
removing those barriers. They have made important
progress incorporating an evidence-based approach to
equitable policymaking and implementation, and they
have crafted new action plans to advance equity. In
short, my Administration has embedded a focus on equity
into the fabric of Federal policymaking and service
delivery. Our work to transform the way the Federal
Government serves the American people has been
complemented by Executive Order 14035 of June 25, 2021
(Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the
Federal Workforce), which continues to help ensure that
my Administration--the most diverse in our Nation's
history--reflects the growing diversity of the
communities we serve.
My Administration's commitment to equity has produced
better decision-making and more equitable outcomes. We
have delivered the most equitable economic recovery in
memory, and, driven by the expanded Child Tax Credit,
we cut child poverty to its lowest rate on record in
2021, including record low Black, Latino, Native
American, and rural child poverty. Under my
Administration, the economy has created nearly 11
million jobs, and we have brought down unemployment
nationwide--in particular for Black and Latino workers,
for whom unemployment rates are near 50-year lows. My
Administration has provided emergency rental assistance
to help millions of families stay in their homes, and
we have prohibited Federal contractors from paying
people with disabilities subminimum wages. We are
rebuilding roads and bridges, replacing the Nation's
lead pipes to provide clean drinking water for all,
delivering access to affordable high-speed internet to
Americans
[[Page 10826]]
in both rural and urban communities, investing in
public transit, and reconnecting communities previously
cut off from economic opportunity by highways, rail
lines, or disinvestment. My Administration has provided
funding to improve accessibility for passengers with
disabilities on rail systems and in airports, expanded
health coverage for millions of Americans, and expanded
home- and community-based services so more people with
disabilities and older adults can live independently.
We have secured billions of dollars in direct new
investments for Tribal Nations and Native American
communities and have directed an increase in the share
of Federal Government contract spending awarded to
small disadvantaged businesses. My Administration has
taken action to strengthen public safety, advance
criminal justice reform, correct our country's failed
approach to marijuana, protect civil rights, and stand
up against rising extremism and hate-fueled violence
that threaten the fabric of our democracy. We have
taken historic steps to advance full equality for
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and
intersex (LGBTQI+) Americans, including by ending the
ban on transgender service members in our military;
prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation,
gender identity, and sex characteristics across Federal
programs; and signing into law the Respect for Marriage
Act (Public Law 117-228) to preserve protections for
the rights of same-sex and interracial couples. My
Administration is also implementing the first-ever
National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality to
ensure that all people, regardless of gender, have the
opportunity to realize their full potential.
These transformative achievements have advanced the
work of building a more equitable Nation. Yet, members
of underserved communities--many of whom have endured
generations of discrimination and disinvestment--still
confront significant barriers to realizing the full
promise of our great Nation, and the Federal Government
has a responsibility to remove these barriers. It is
imperative to reject the narrow, cramped view of
American opportunity as a zero-sum game. When any
person or community is denied freedom, dignity, and
prosperity, our entire Nation is held back. But when we
lift each other up, we are all lifted up. Therefore, my
Administration must take additional action across the
Federal Government--in collaboration with civil
society, the private sector, and State and local
government--to continue the work begun with Executive
Order 13985 to combat discrimination and advance equal
opportunity, including by redressing unfair disparities
and removing barriers to Government programs and
services. Achieving racial equity and support for
underserved communities is not a one-time project. It
must be a multi-generational commitment, and it must
remain the responsibility of agencies across the
Federal Government. It therefore continues to be the
policy of my Administration to advance an ambitious,
whole-of-government approach to racial equity and
support for underserved communities and to continuously
embed equity into all aspects of Federal decision-
making.
This order builds upon my previous equity-related
Executive Orders by extending and strengthening equity-
advancing requirements for agencies, and it positions
agencies to deliver better outcomes for the American
people. In doing so, the Federal Government shall
continue to pursue ambitious goals to build a strong,
fair, and inclusive workforce and economy; invest in
communities where Federal policies have historically
impeded equal opportunity--both rural and urban--in
ways that mitigate economic displacement, expand access
to capital, preserve housing and neighborhood
affordability, root out discrimination in the housing
market, and build community wealth; advance equity in
health, including mental and behavioral health and
well-being; deliver an equitable response to the COVID-
19 pandemic; deliver environmental justice and
implement the Justice40 Initiative; build prosperity in
rural communities; ensure equitable procurement
practices, including through small disadvantaged
businesses contracting and the Buy Indian Act (25
U.S.C. 47); pursue educational equity so that our
Nation's schools put every student on a path to
success; improve our Nation's criminal justice system
to end unjust disparities, strengthen public safety,
and ensure
[[Page 10827]]
equal justice under law; promote equity in science and
root out bias in the design and use of new
technologies, such as artificial intelligence; protect
the right to vote and realize the promise of our
Nation's civil rights laws; and promote equity and
human rights around the world through our foreign
policy and foreign assistance. By redoubling our
efforts, the Federal Government can help bridge the gap
between the world we see and the future we seek.

policy, budgetary, programmatic, service-delivery,
procurement, data-collection processes, grantmaking,
public engagement, research and evaluation, and
regulatory functions to enable the agency's mission and
service delivery to yield equitable outcomes for all
Americans, including underserved communities.
(a) In September 2023, and on an annual basis

(c) Starting with formulation of the Fiscal Year
2025 Budget and for each subsequent year, the Director
of OMB shall consider how the President's Budget can
support the Equity Action Plans described in subsection

efforts to meaningfully engage with and invest in
underserved communities and advance equitable outcomes.
(d) To ensure effective implementation of Equity
Action Plans, and to strengthen the Federal
Government's equitable delivery of resources and
benefits to all, agency heads shall:
(i) prioritize and incorporate strategies to advance equity--including by
pursuing evidence-based approaches, reducing administrative burdens,
increasing access to technical assistance, and implementing equitable data
practices, consistent with applicable law, into their respective:
(A) agency strategic plans developed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 306(a);
(B) agency performance plans developed pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 1115 and

and
(I) as permitted by law, activities, acquisitions, and strategies that
the Director of OMB determines to be appropriate to further the
implementation of this order;
(ii) identify opportunities, as appropriate and consistent with applicable
law, to incorporate into new regulations and to modify their respective
agencies' regulations, internal- and public-facing guidance, and other
policies to include advancing equity as part of their respective agencies'
missions; and
(iii) promote coordination within and among their respective agencies
concerning the elements of their respective Equity Action Plans and the
recommendations of the Interagency Working Group on Equitable Data
established in Executive Order 13985.
Sec. 4. Embedding Equity into Government-wide
Processes.
(a) The Director of OMB shall consider
opportunities to review and update internal processes,
directives, and Government-wide guidance (such as OMB
Circulars and Memoranda) to support equitable decision-
making, promote equitable deployment of financial and
technical assistance, and assist agencies in advancing
equity, as appropriate and wherever possible.
[[Page 10830]]
(b) When designing, developing, acquiring, and
using artificial intelligence and automated systems in
the Federal Government, agencies shall do so,
consistent with applicable law, in a manner that
advances equity.
Sec. 5. Delivering Equitable Outcomes in Partnership
with Underserved Communities. Underserved communities
often face significant barriers and legacy exclusions
in engaging with agencies and providing input on
Federal policies and programs that affect them.
Agencies must increase engagement with underserved
communities by identifying and applying innovative
approaches to improve the quality, frequency, and
accessibility of engagement. Agencies shall, consistent
with applicable law:
(a) conduct proactive engagement, as appropriate,
with members of underserved communities--for example,
through culturally and linguistically appropriate
listening sessions, outreach events, or requests for
information--during development and implementation of
agencies' respective annual Equity Action Plans, annual
budget submissions, grants and funding opportunities,
and other actions, including those outlined in section
3(d) of this order;
(b) collaborate with OMB, as appropriate, to
identify and develop tools and methods for engagement
with underserved communities, including those related
to agency budget development and rulemaking;
(c) create more flexibilities, incentives, and
guidelines for recipients of Federal funding and
permits to proactively engage with underserved
communities as projects are designed and implemented;
(d) identify funding opportunities for community-
and faith-based organizations working in and with
underserved communities to improve access to benefits
and services for members of underserved communities;
and
(e) identify and address barriers for individuals
with disabilities, as well as older adults, to
participate in the engagement process, including
barriers to the accessibility of physical spaces,
virtual platforms, presentations, systems, training,
and documents.
Sec. 6. Creating Economic Opportunity in Rural America
and Advancing Urban Equitable Development. (a) Agencies
shall undertake efforts, to the extent consistent with
applicable law, to help rural communities identify and
access Federal resources in order to create equitable
economic opportunity and advance projects that build
community wealth, including by providing or supporting
technical assistance; incentivizing the creation of
good, high-paying union jobs in rural areas; conducting
outreach to and soliciting input from rural community
leaders; and contributing new resources and support to
interagency programs such as the Rural Partners
Network.
(b) Agencies shall undertake efforts, to the extent
consistent with applicable law, to strengthen urban
equitable development policies and practices, such as
advancing community wealth building projects;
preventing physical and economic displacement as the
result of Federal investments; facilitating equitable
flows of private capital, including to underserved
communities; and incorporating outcome-based metrics
focused on urban equitable development in the design
and deployment of Federal programs and policies. To
support these efforts, the Assistant to the President
for Domestic Policy shall issue a policy memorandum on
actions agencies can take to advance urban equitable
development.
(c) Executive Order 13946 of August 24, 2020
(Targeting Opportunity Zones and Other Distressed
Communities for Federal Site Locations), including the
amendments it made to Executive Order 12072 of August
16, 1978 (Federal Space Management), and to Executive
Order 13006 of May 21, 1996 (Locating Federal
Facilities on Historic Properties in Our Nation's
Central Cities), is revoked. Executive Orders 12072 and
13006 are reinstated as they were prior to issuance of
Executive Order 13946. Executive Order 13853 of
December 12, 2018 (Establishing the White House
Opportunity and Revitalization Council), is also
revoked. All agencies shall, consistent
[[Page 10831]]
with applicable law, including the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.), consider taking
prompt action to revoke any rules, regulations,
guidelines, or policies implementing these Presidential
actions that are inconsistent with the provisions of
this order. Further, agencies shall ensure that
planning for new Federal facilities or new leases
includes consideration of neighborhoods and locations
that are near existing employment centers and are
accessible to a broad range of the region's workforce
and population by public transit (where it exists),
consistent with Executive Order 12072. Agencies shall
identify displacement risks associated with Federal
facility siting and development and shall engage with
any community that may be affected, along with
appropriate regional and local officials, to mitigate
those displacement risks.
Sec. 7. Advancing Equitable Procurement. (a) The
Government-wide goal for Federal procurement dollars
awarded to small business concerns owned and controlled
by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals
(SDBs) shall be 15 percent in Fiscal Year 2025. In
furtherance of this goal, OMB shall set a Government-
wide SDB goal for Fiscal Year 2024. The Small Business
Administration shall, on an annual basis, work with
each agency to establish an agency-specific goal that,
in aggregate, supports the Government-wide goal.
Further, agencies shall undertake efforts to increase
contracting opportunities for all other small business
concerns as described in the Small Business Act (15
U.S.C. ch. 14A).
(b) Agencies shall expand procurement opportunities
for SDBs through Federal financial assistance,
consistent with applicable law, under the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022, and other Federal financial assistance programs.
Sec. 8. Affirmatively Advancing Civil Rights. Agencies
shall comprehensively use their respective civil rights
authorities and offices to prevent and address
discrimination and advance equity for all, including to
increase the effects of civil rights enforcement and to
increase public awareness of civil rights principles,
consistent with applicable law. Agencies shall consider
opportunities to:
(a) further elevate their respective civil rights
offices, including by directing that their most senior
civil rights officer report to the agency head;
(b) ensure that their respective civil rights
offices are consulted on decisions regarding the
design, development, acquisition, and use of artificial
intelligence and automated systems;
(c) increase coordination, communication, and
engagement with community-based organizations and civil
rights organizations;
(d) increase the capacity, including staffing
capacity, of their respective civil rights offices, in
coordination with OMB;
(e) improve accessibility for people with
disabilities and improve language access services to
ensure that all communities can engage with agencies'
respective civil rights offices, including by fully
implementing Executive Order 13166 of August 11, 2000
(Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited
English Proficiency); and
(f) prevent and remedy discrimination, including by
protecting the public from algorithmic discrimination.
Sec. 9. Further Advancing Equitable Data Practices. The
Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) National
Science and Technology Council Subcommittee on
Equitable Data shall, to the extent consistent with
applicable law, coordinate the implementation of
relevant recommendations of the Interagency Working
Group on Equitable Data established in Executive Order
13985. The Director of OSTP shall provide a report on
the Subcommittee's progress to the Steering Committee
every January and July.
Sec. 10. Definitions. For purposes of this order:
(a) The term ``equity'' means the consistent and
systematic treatment of all individuals in a fair,
just, and impartial manner, including individuals who
belong to communities that often have been denied such
treatment,
[[Page 10832]]
such as Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American,
Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander
persons and other persons of color; members of
religious minorities; women and girls; LGBTQI+ persons;
persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural
areas; persons who live in United States Territories;
persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent
poverty or inequality; and individuals who belong to
multiple such communities.
(b) The term ``underserved communities'' refers to

fostering social well-being.
(e) The term ``equitable data'' refers to data that
allow for rigorous assessment of the extent to which
Government programs and policies yield consistently
fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals.

unjustified different treatment or impacts disfavoring
people based on their actual or perceived race, color,
ethnicity, sex (including based on pregnancy,
childbirth, and related conditions; gender identity;
intersex status; and sexual orientation), religion,
age, national origin, limited English proficiency,
disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any
other classification protected by law.
