This executive order, signed by President Jimmy Carter on 1977-12-01, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Advisory Committee Functions." It outlines operative directives for executive department officers, delegating enforcement responsibilities and establishing official governance guidelines.

Constitutional Assessment: Evaluated against the Fifth Amendment, this action touches upon property or economic rights.
