How long should administrative orders remain effective according to Policy 109?

Administrative orders should remain effective until they are repealed. This means that the authority granted by these orders continues until an official decision is made to withdraw or nullify them. This approach allows for stability and continuity in the implementation of policies or directives, ensuring that there is a consistent understanding of active orders.

The notion of being effective until repealed emphasizes the importance of ongoing oversight and review, allowing organizations to adapt to changing circumstances while maintaining established protocols in the interim. This mechanism also ensures that only relevant and necessary orders remain in force, thus preventing outdated guidelines from causing confusion or inconsistency in operations.
