Trump made the EO, which explains at the high level "30,000 foot" view of the WHAT and the WHY justification for the EO to exist.

The 30 day order is for those named (SOS, SOT, AG, Sec Homeland, DNI) to get together within that period of time (30 day after signing the EO in 09/2018), to develop and deliver a FRAMEWORK (process) -- or -- deliver the HOW instructions of how those first two deliverables (the assessment and then the report) will be generated each time there is an election determined to trigger the need to run through the process. So basically, this 30 day order is a one-time order for them to create the process that they'll follow going forward for future elections. It would have been created and delivered to POTUS 30 days after the 09/2018 EO was signed.
