Title: NISC Five-Year Review of Executive Order 13112 on Invasive Species
Publisher: National Invasive Species Council
Description: In summary, NISC employs a cooperative approach to enhance the Federal Government’s response to the threat of invasive species. A forum for coordination and planning, the Council and the Advisory Committee strive to ensure that Federal programs are successful, avoid duplication, and minimize costs. In the last 5 years, NISC has emphasized prevention, early detection and rapid response, and sharing information to create a more proactive and effective invasive species strategy. By providing an overall framework for Federal invasive species policy, coordination, and outreach, Executive Order 13112 enhances efforts to minimize the harm to the economy, the environment, and human health caused by invasive species. Any needed improvements should be addressed through the update and
revision of the NISC Plan. This report recommends that the current version of Executive Order 13112 be maintained.
