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 persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism declared in Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, 

is to continue in effect beyond September 23, 2014. 

The crisis constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and threats 

of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist 

attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York and Pennsylvania and 

against the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of 

further attacks on United States nationals or the United States 

that led to the declaration of a national emergency on September 

23, 2001, has not been resolved. These actions continue to pose 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 

declared in Executive Order 13224 with respect to persons who 

commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism. 

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, September 17, 2014.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

PERSONS WHO COMMIT, THREATEN TO COMMIT, OR SUPPORT TERRORISM

On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, the President 

declared a national emergency with respect to persons who commit, 

threaten to commit, or support terrorism, 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, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted 

by the grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed 

by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist attacks on September 

11, 2001, in New York and Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon, 

and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks against 

United States nationals or the United States. 

The actions of persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism 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 

Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, and the measures 

adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue 

in effect beyond September 23, 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 

persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism declared in Executive Order 13224. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, September 17, 2014.
