Executive Orders 13891 and 13892 President Trump signed two executive orders (EOs) aimed at curtailing agency abuses of guidance documents, which have been used to justify enforcement action against regulated entities despite not being produced through the same rulemaking process as proper regulations. Executive Order 13891 of October 9, 2019 titled, Promoting the Rule of Law Through Improved Agency Guidance Documents will make guidance more transparent, easier to find, and give regulated entities more opportunities to challenge potential violations. Executive Order 13892 of October 9, 2019 titled, Promoting the Rule of Law Through Transparency and Fairness in Civil Administrative Enforcement and Adjudication requires transparency. Regulated parties must know in advance the rules by which the Federal Government will judge their actions.

Security Executive Agent PACPMO-The Suitability and Security Clearance Performance Accountability Council (PAC) is responsible to the President for driving implementation of the Security and Suitability Reform Effort and for ensuring accountability by agencies, ensuring the Suitability Executive Agent and the Security Executive Agent align their respective processes and sustaining reform momentum. SECURITY vs SUITABILITY A security clearance investigation is an inquiry into an individual's loyalty, character, trustworthiness and reliability to ensure that he or she is eligible for access to national security information. EO 13467-"The Director of National Intelligence shall serve as the Security Executive Agent (SECEA). As the Security Executive Agent the Director of National Intelligence shall direct the oversight of investigations and determinations of eligibility for access to classified information or eligibility to hold a sensitive position made by any agency; shall be responsible for developing uniform and consistent policies and procedures to ensure the effective, efficient, and timely completion of investigations and adjudications relating to determinations of eligibility for access to classified information or eligibility to hold a sensitive position." A suitability investigation is an inquiry into a person's identifiable character traits and conduct sufficient to decide whether an individual's employment or continued employment would or would not protect the integrity or promote the efficiency of the service. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall serve as the Suitability Executive Agent. As the Suitability Executive Agent, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management will be responsible for developing and implementing uniform and consistent policies and procedures to ensure the effective, efficient, and timely completion of investigations and adjudications relating to determinations of suitability and eligibility for logical and physical access." 7

Industry in Crisis and The Risk of the Unknown How will all the changes affect our supply chains? What can we expect from an oversight perspective in the future? How can we relay issues of duplication of NISP processes? Each new process asked of industry adds additional administrative and resource burdens taking us away for real risk management and security responsibility. Industry needs to be united in voice and action on the strategic issues 12
