The White House,
Washington, August 4, 2016.
Hon. Paul D. Ryan,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic
termination of a national emergency unless, within 90 days
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress
a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect
beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision,
I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the
enclosed notice, stating that the national emergency declared
in Executive Order 13222 in light of the expiration of the
Export Administration Act of 1979 is to continue in effect for
1 year beyond August 17, 2016.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama.
Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Export Control
Regulations
On August 17, 2001, consistent with the authority provided
to the President under the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the President issued
Executive Order 13222. In that order, he declared a national
emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat
to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the
United States in light of the expiration of the Export
Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et
seq.). Because the Export Administration Act has not been
renewed by the Congress, the national emergency declared on
August 17, 2001, must continue in effect beyond August 17,
2016. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing
for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13222, as amended by Executive Order 13637 (March 8, 2013).
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Barack Obama.
The White House, August 4, 2016.
