In the meantime, please adopt and enforce policies that immediately ban text messaging while driving company-owned or -rented vehicles, government-owned or leased vehicles, or while driving privately owned vehicles when on official government business or when performing any work for or on behalf of the government. The Office of the Acquisition and Property Management will issue additional policies and procedures on implementing the Executive Order in the Department of the Interior Acquisition Regulation.
