THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, March 30, 2016. 

Hon. PAUL D. RYAN, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: 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 declared in Executive Order 13664 of April 3, 2014, with respect to South Sudan is to continue in effect beyond April 3, 2016. 

The situation in and in relation to South Sudan, which has been 

marked by activities that threaten the peace, security, or stability 

of South Sudan and the surrounding region, including widespread 

violence and atrocities, human rights abuses, recruitment and use 

of child soldiers, attacks on peacekeepers, and obstruction of humanitarian operations, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 

United States. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive 

Order 13664 with respect to South Sudan. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

SOUTH SUDAN

On April 3, 2014, by Executive Order 13664, 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 situation in and in relation 

to South Sudan, which has been marked by activities that threaten 

the peace, security, or stability of South Sudan and the surrounding region, including widespread violence and atrocities, 

human rights abuses, recruitment and use of child soldiers, attacks 

on peacekeepers, and obstruction of humanitarian operations. 

The situation in and in relation to South Sudan continues 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 on April 3, 2014, to deal with that threat must 

continue in effect beyond April 3, 2016. 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 13664. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, March 30, 2016.
