                Executive Order 13862 of March 6, 2019

                
Revocation of Reporting Requirement

                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. Findings. (a) Section 3 of Executive Order 
                13732 of July 1, 2016 (United States Policy on Pre- and 
                Post-Strike Measures To Address Civilian Casualties in 
                U.S. Operations Involving the Use of Force), requires 
                the Director of National Intelligence, or such other 
                official as the President may designate, to release, by 
                May 1 each year, an unclassified summary of the number 
                of strikes undertaken by the United States Government 
                against terrorist targets outside areas of active 
                hostilities, as well as assessments of combatant and 
                non-combatant deaths resulting from those strikes, 
                among other information.

                    (b) Section 1057 of the National Defense 
                Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
                91) similarly requires the Secretary of Defense to 
                submit to the congressional defense committees, by May 
                1 each year, a report on civilian casualties caused as 
                a result of United States military operations during 
                the preceding year (civilian casualty report). 
                Subsection 1057(d) requires that the civilian casualty 
                report be submitted in unclassified form, but 
                recognizes that the report may include a classified 
                annex.
                    (c) Section 1062 of the National Defense 
                Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-
                232) expanded the scope of the civilian casualty report 
                and specified that the report shall be made available 
                to the public unless the Secretary of Defense certifies 
                that the publication of the report would pose a threat 
                to the national security interests of the United 
                States.

                Sec. 2. Revocation of Reporting Requirement. Section 3 
                of Executive Order 13732 is hereby revoked.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

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

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

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.

                    (c) 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.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    March 6, 2019.
