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 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 with 

respect to Sudan is to continue in effect beyond November 3, 2015. 

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, and 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, 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. Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13067 

with respect to Sudan. 

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, October 28, 2015.

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 and, pursuant 

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

1701–1706), 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, in 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 to deal with that threat, and ordered the blocking 

of property of certain persons connected to the conflict. On October 

13, 2006, the President issued Executive Order 13412 to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency and to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act of 2006 (Public Law 

109–344). 

The actions and policies of the Government of Sudan continue 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 in Executive Order 13067 of November 

3, 1997, expanded on April 26, 2006, and with respect to which additional steps were taken on October 13, 2006, must continue in effect beyond November 3, 2015. Therefore, consistent with section 

202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am 

continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to Sudan 

declared in Executive Order 13067. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, October 28, 2015.
