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, 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 13466 of June 26, 2008, expanded in scope in Executive 

Order 13551 of August 30, 2010, and addressed further in Executive Order 13570 of April 18, 2011, is to continue in effect beyond 

June 26, 2011. 

The existence and the risk of proliferation of weapons-usable 

fissile material on the Korean Peninsula, and the actions and policies of the Government of North Korea that destabilize the Korean 

Peninsula and imperil U.S. Armed Forces, allies, and trading partners in the region, continue to constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy 

of the United States. For these reasons, I have determined that it 

is necessary to continue the national emergency with respect to 

these threats and maintain in force the measures taken to deal 

with that national emergency. 

BARACK OBAMA.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

NORTH KOREA

On June 26, 2008, by Executive Order 13466, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706) to deal with the 

unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the existence and 

risk of the proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the 

Korean Peninsula. The President also found that it was necessary 

to maintain certain restrictions with respect to North Korea that 

would otherwise have been lifted pursuant to Proclamation 8271 of 

June 26, 2008, which terminated the exercise of authorities under 

the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1–44) with respect to North Korea. 

On August 30, 2010, I signed Executive Order 13551, which expanded the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive 

Order 13466 to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to 

the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 

States posed by the continued actions and policies of the Government of North Korea. 

On April 18, 2011, I signed Executive Order 13570 to take additional steps to address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13466, and expanded in Executive Order 13551, to ensure the implementation of the import restrictions contained in 

United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874 and 

complement the import restrictions provided for in the Arms Export Control Act. 

Because the existence and the risk of proliferation of weaponsusable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula and the actions 

and policies of the Government of North Korea continue to pose an 

unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 

policy, and economy of the United States, the national emergency 

declared in Executive Order 13466, expanded in scope in Executive 

Order 13551, and addressed further in Executive Order 13570, and 

the measures taken to deal with that national emergency, must 

continue in effect beyond June 26, 2011. 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 13466.
