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 13536 of April 12, 2010, is to continue in effect beyond April 

12, 2011. 

The deterioration of the security situation and the persistence of 

violence in Somalia, and acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea 

off the coast of Somalia, which have repeatedly been the subject of 

United Nations Security Council resolutions, and violations of the 

Somalia arms embargo imposed by the United Nations Security 

Council, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to 

the national security and foreign policy of the United States. For 

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

the national emergency with respect to Somalia and related measures blocking the property of certain persons contributing to the 

conflict in Somalia. 

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, April 7, 2011.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

SOMALIA

On April 12, 2010, by Executive Order 13536, I 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 deterioration of the security 

situation and the persistence of violence in Somalia, and acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, which have 

repeatedly been the subject of United Nations Security Council resolutions, and violations of the Somalia arms embargo imposed by 

the United Nations Security Council. 

Because the situation with respect to Somalia continues to pose 

an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and 

foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on April 12, 2010, and the measures adopted on that date 

to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond April 

12, 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 13536. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, April 7, 2011.
