Research notes
- OMB implemented the order with memorandum M-25-24 (Interim Guidance Implementing Section 3 of Executive Order 14215), which set an April 2025 start for submissions: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/M-25-24-Interim-Guidance-Implementing-Section-3-of-Executive-Order-14215-Titled-Ensuring-Accountability-for-All-Agencies.pdf The PDF loads but its text could not be extracted for a content match, so it is a lead here rather than Evidence.
- The whitehouse.gov page for the order was not used: the Federal Register entry carries the same text with the EO number.
