Cause of Action Legal Recourse

Section 10 of the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62, §10, Aug. 3, 1993, 107 Stat. 295), which added this section to the U.S. Code, stated that as a legal construction of the law, it could not be construed as giving rise to a cause of action under law:

Sec. 10. Application of Act

No provision or amendment made by this Act [the “Government Performance and Results Act of 1993”] may be construed as—

(1) creating any right, privilege, benefit, or entitlement for any person who is not an officer or employee of the United States acting in such capacity, and no person who is not an officer or employee of the United States acting in such capacity shall have standing to file any civil action in a court of the United States to enforce any provision or amendment made by this Act; or

(2) superseding any statutory requirement, including any requirement under section 553 of title 5, United States Code.”

Law Revision Counsel also included this as an advisory in the codification of that section of the Act.
