E:\Seals\Congress.#13
(1) 

To the Congress of the United States: 

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 before 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 with respect to 

Sudan declared in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, is 

to continue in effect beyond November 3, 2017. 

Despite recent positive developments, the crisis constituted by 

the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan that led to the 

declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order 13067; the 

expansion of that emergency in Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 

2006; and with respect to which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, Executive Order 13761 of 

January 13, 2017, and Executive Order 13804 of July 11, 2017, has 

not been resolved. These actions and policies continue to pose an 

unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. I have, therefore, determined that 

it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, as expanded by Executive Order 13400, with 

respect to Sudan.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

SUDAN

On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the President 

declared a national emergency with respect to Sudan pursuant to 

the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 

1701–1706) and took related steps to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 

United States posed by the actions and policies of the Government 

of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive Order 13400, the President determined that the conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region posed 

an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and 

foreign policy of the United States, expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, and ordered 

the blocking of property of certain persons connected to the Darfur 

region. On October 13, 2006, by Executive Order 13412, the President took additional steps with respect to the national emergency 

declared in Executive Order 13067 and expanded in Executive 

Order 13400. In Executive Order 13412, the President also took 

steps to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act of 

2006 (Public Law 109–344). 

On January 13, 2017, by Executive Order 13761, the President 

found that positive efforts by the Government of Sudan between 

July 2016 and January 2017 improved certain conditions that Executive Orders 13067 and 13412 were intended to address. Given 

these developments, and in order to encourage the Government of 

Sudan to sustain and enhance these efforts, section 1 of Executive 

Order 13761 provided that sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order 

13067 and the entirety of Executive Order 13412 would be revoked 

as of July 12, 2017, provided that the criteria in section 12(b) of 

Executive Order 13761 had been met. 

On July 11, 2017, by Executive Order 13804, I amended Executive Order 13761, extending until October 12, 2017, the effective 

date in section 1 of Executive Order 13761. 

Despite recent positive developments, the crisis constituted by 

the actions and policies of the Government of Sudan that led to the 

declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order 13067 of 

November 3, 1997; the expansion of that emergency in Executive 

Order 13400 of April 26, 2006; and with respect to which additional 

steps were taken in Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, 

Executive Order 13761 of January 13, 2017, and Executive Order 

13804 of July 11, 2017, has not been resolved. These actions and 

policies continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to 

the national security and foreign policy of the United States. I 

have, therefore, determined that it is necessary to continue the naVerDate Sep 11 2014 03:49 Nov 01, 2017 Jkt 079011 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HD075.XXX HD075

tional emergency declared in Executive Order 13067, as expanded 

by Executive Order 13400, with respect to Sudan. 

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
