5 U.S.C. § 903 — Reorganization plans

**(a)** Whenever the President, after investigation, finds that changes in the organization of agencies are necessary to carry out any policy set forth in [section 901(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section901/a&num=0&edition=prelim), he shall prepare a reorganization plan specifying the reorganizations he finds are necessary. Any plan may provide for— (1) the transfer of the whole or a part of an agency, or of the whole or a part of the functions thereof, to the jurisdiction and control of another agency; (2) the abolition of all or a part of the functions of an agency, except that no enforcement function or statutory program shall be abolished by the plan; (3) the consolidation or coordination of the whole or a part of an agency, or of the whole or a part of the functions thereof, with the whole or a part of another agency or the functions thereof; (4) the consolidation or coordination of part of an agency or the functions thereof with another part of the same agency or the functions thereof; (5) the authorization of an officer to delegate any of his functions; or (6) the abolition of the whole or a part of an agency which agency or part does not have, or on the taking effect of the reorganization plan will not have, any functions. The President shall transmit the plan (bearing an identification number) to the Congress together with a declaration that, with respect to each reorganization included in the plan, he has found that the reorganization is necessary to carry out any policy set forth in [section 901(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section901/a&num=0&edition=prelim). **(b)** The President shall have a reorganization plan delivered to both Houses o

5 U.S.C. § 903 — Reorganization plans

Page 240 TITLE 5—GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION AND EMPLOYEES § 903 conform to the definitions in sections 105, 2101, and 2104. Standard changes are made to conform with the defi- nitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report. 1967 ACT This section amends section 902 of title 5, United States Code, so as to preserve the application of the source statute for section 902 (sec. 7 of the Reorganiza- tion Act of 1949). In the codification of title 5 by Public Law 89–554, that application was inadvertently re- stricted due to the operation of section 2104 of title 5, providing a title-wide definition of ‘‘officer.’’ Briefly, that section defines ‘‘officer’’ as a civil appointive offi- cer of the Federal Government. In the Reorganization Act of 1949, the word ‘‘officer’’ was not defined, and has been construed to include not only civil appointive offi- cers, but uniformed officers, the President, and officers of the government of the District of Columbia. Thus, this section amends section 902 of title 5 by inserting a paragraph providing that the title-wide definition of of- ficer is inapplicable to chapter 9 of title 5. Also, para- graph (1)(B) of section 902 is amended so that the word- ing thereof is identical to that formerly appearing in section 7 of the Reorganization Act of 1949. Editorial Notes CODIFICATION Section 902(a) of former Title 5, Executive Depart- ments and Government Officers and Employees, was transferred to section 60e–2(b) of Title 2, The Congress. AMENDMENTS 2004—Par. (1). Pub. L. 108–271 substituted ‘‘Govern- ment Accountability Office’’ for ‘‘General Accounting Office’’ in concluding provisions. 1977—Par. (1)(C). Pub. L. 95–17 struck out subpar. (C) which defined ‘‘agency’’ as any and all part
