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 North Korea that was declared in Executive Order (E.O.) 

13466 of June 26, 2008, expanded in scope in E.O. 13551 of August 

30, 2010, and addressed further in E.O. 13570 of April 18, 2011, 

is to continue in effect beyond June 26, 2014. 

The existence and 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 this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency with respect to North 

Korea. 

BARACK OBAMA.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

NORTH KOREA

On June 26, 2008, by Executive Order (E.O.) 13466, the President declared a national emergency with respect to North Korea 

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 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 E.O. 13551, which expanded the 

scope of the national emergency declared in E.O. 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, 

manifested by its unprovoked attack that resulted in the sinking 

of the Republic of Korea Navy ship Cheonan and the deaths of 46 

sailors in March 2010; its announced test of a nuclear device and 

its missile launches in 2009; its actions in violation of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions 1718 and 1874, including the procurement of luxury goods; and its illicit and deceptive 

activities in international markets through which it obtains financial and other support, including money laundering, the counterfeiting of goods and currency, bulk cash smuggling, and narcotics 

trafficking, which destabilize the Korean Peninsula and imperil 

U.S. Armed Forces, allies, and trading partners in the region. 

On April 18, 2011, I signed E.O. 13570 to take additional steps 

to address the national emergency declared in E.O. 13466 and expanded in E.O. 13551 that ensure the implementation of the import restrictions contained in UNSC Resolutions 1718 and 1874 

and complement the import restrictions provided for in the Arms 

Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.). 

The existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable 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. For this reason, the national emergency declared in E.O. 13466, expanded in scope in E.O. 13551, 

and addressed further in E.O. 13570, and the measures taken to 

deal with that national emergency, must continue in effect beyond

June 26, 2014. 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 with respect to North Korea declared in E.O. 13466. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, June 20, 2014.
