TO 50 U.S.C. 1641(b); PUBLIC LAW 94–412, SEC. 401(b); (90 STAT.

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

To the Congress of the United States: 

Consistent with subsection 401(b) of the National Emergencies 

Act, 50 U.S.C. 1641(b), and subsection 204(b) of the International 

Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1703(b), I hereby report that I have issued an Executive Order (the ‘‘order’’) that 

amends Executive Order 13761 of January 13, 2017, by changing 

certain effective dates and revokes a reporting requirement in that 

order. 

The order changes the date by which the Secretary of State, in 

consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for 

International Development, is to provide a report to the President 

on the Government of Sudan’s progress in sustaining the positive 

actions taken by the Government of Sudan that gave rise to Executive Order 13761, from July 12, 2017, to October 12, 2017. The 

order also changes from July 12, 2017, to October 12, 2017, the effective date for the revocation of sections 1 and 2 of Executive 

Order 13067 of November 3, 1997, and the entirety of Executive 

Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, provided that the Secretary of 

State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Administrator of the U.S. 

Agency for International Development, publishes on or before October 12, 2017, a notice in the Federal Register stating that the Government of Sudan has sustained the positive actions that gave rise 

to the order and has provided to the President the report described 

above. 

The order revokes the requirement in Executive Order 13761 to 

provide an updated version of the report annually thereafter and, 

concurrent with those reports, to publish in the Federal Register a 

notice stating whether the Government of Sudan has sustained the 

positive actions that gave rise to Executive Order 13761. 

The President issued Executive Orders 13067 and 13412, among 

other orders, 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, including 

support for international terrorism; efforts to destabilize neighboring governments; and the prevalence of human rights violations. 

In Executive Order 13761, the President determined that the situation that gave rise to the actions taken in Executive Order 13067 

and Executive Order 13412 related to the policies and actions of 

the Government of Sudan had been altered by Sudan’s positive actions over the prior 6 months. Executive Order 13761 directed the 

Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Administrator of 

the U.S. Agency for International Development, and based on a 

consideration of relevant and credible information from available 

sources, including nongovernmental organizations, on or before 

2 

July 12, 2017, to provide a report to the President on the Government of Sudan’s progress in sustaining its positive actions that 

gave rise to Executive Order 13761. Executive Order 13761 further 

provided that if the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 

Secretary of the Treasury, the Director of National Intelligence, 

and the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, published on or before July 12, 2017, a notice in the Federal Register stating that the Government of Sudan had sustained 

the positive actions that gave rise to Executive Order 13761 and 

had provided to the President the report described above, the revocation of sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order 13067 and the revocation of Executive Order 13412 would become effective. 

While the Government of Sudan has made some progress in 

areas identified in Executive Order 13761, I have decided that 

more time is needed for this review to establish that the Government of Sudan has demonstrated sufficient positive action across 

all of those areas. 

For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to 

amend the effective date to October 12, 2017, to provide the report 

required by Executive Order 13761 and revoke sections 1 and 2 of 

Executive Order 13067 and Executive Order 13412, provided that 

further action is taken by the Secretary of State, as set forth in Executive Order 13761, and to revoke the subsequent annual reporting requirement in Executive Order 13761. 

I am enclosing a copy of the Executive Order I have issued. 

DONALD J. TRUMP. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, July 11, 2017.
