THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, November 9, 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 13712 of November 22, 2015, 

with respect to the situation in Burundi, is to continue in effect beyond November 22, 2016. 

The situation in Burundi, which has been marked by the killing 

of and violence against civilians, unrest, the incitement of violence, 

and significant political repression, and which threatens the peace, 

security, and stability of Burundi, continues to pose an unusual 

and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy 

of the United States. For this reason, I have determined that it is 

necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive 

Order 13712 with respect to the situation in Burundi. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

BURUNDI

On November 22, 2015, by Executive Order 13712, I declared a 

national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary 

threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United 

States constituted by the situation in Burundi, which has been 

marked by the killing of and violence against civilians, unrest, the 

incitement of imminent violence, and significant political repression, and which threatens the peace, security, and stability of Burundi. 

The situation in Burundi continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 

United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared on 

November 22, 2015, to deal with that threat must continue in effect 

beyond November 22, 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 13712. 

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

BARACK OBAMA.
