Executive Order 14122 of April 12, 2024
COVID-19 and Public Health Preparedness and
Response
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. The Office of Pandemic Preparedness
and Response Policy (OPPR), established by the Congress
in December 2022 under section 2104 of Public Law 117-
328, is playing a critical role in the Federal
Government's pandemic preparedness efforts. The OPPR is
providing advice, within the Executive Office of the
President, on policy related to preparedness for, and
response to, pandemic and other biological threats that
may impact national security. The OPPR is also
supporting my Administration's continued work to
address COVID-19 and other public health threats,
facilitating coordination and communication among
executive departments and agencies to ensure that the
United States can quickly detect, identify, and respond
to such threats as necessary. At this stage of my
Administration's response to COVID-19, I have
determined that certain Executive Orders are no longer
necessary and that certain roles and responsibilities
established by other Executive Orders related to COVID-
19 should be transferred to the OPPR.
Sec. 2. Revocations. Executive Order 13910 of March 23,
2020 (Preventing Hoarding of Health and Medical
Resources to Respond to the Spread of COVID-19),
Executive Order 13991 of January 20, 2021 (Protecting
the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing), and
Executive Order 13998 of January 21, 2021 (Promoting
COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel),
are hereby revoked.
Sec. 3. Transfer of Responsibilities. Responsibilities
and duties of the Coordinator of the COVID-19 Response
and Counselor to the President (COVID-19 Response
Coordinator), including responsibilities and duties
specified in Executive Order 13987 of January 20, 2021
(Organizing and Mobilizing the United States Government
to Provide a Unified and Effective Response to Combat
COVID-19 and to Provide United States Leadership on
Global Health and Security), Executive Order 13994 of
January 21, 2021 (Ensuring a Data-Driven Response to
COVID-19 and Future High-Consequence Public Health
Threats), and Executive Order 13996 of January 21, 2021
(Establishing the COVID-19 Pandemic Testing Board and
Ensuring a Sustainable Public Health Workforce for
COVID-19 and Other Biological Threats), are transferred
to the Director of the OPPR. The positions of COVID-19
Response Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator of the
COVID-19 Response, as established by section 2 of
Executive Order 13987, are hereby terminated.
Sec. 4. 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.
[[Page 27356]]
(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.)
