THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, May 9, 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 13667 of May 12, 2014, with respect to the Central African Republic is to continue in effect beyond 

May 12, 2016. 

The situation in and in relation to the Central African Republic, 

which has been marked by a breakdown of law and order, intersectarian tension, widespread violence and atrocities, and the pervasive, often forced recruitment and use of child soldiers, threatens 

the peace, security, or stability of the Central African Republic and 

neighboring states, and 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 13667 with respect to the Central African Republic. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, I declared a national emergency 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 the Central 

African Republic, which has been marked by a breakdown of law 

and order, intersectarian tension, widespread violence and atrocities, and the pervasive, often forced recruitment and use of child 

soldiers, and which threatens the peace, security, or stability of the 

Central African Republic and neighboring states. 

The situation in and in relation to the Central African Republic 

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 May 12, 2014, to deal with 

that threat must continue in effect beyond May 12, 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 13667. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, May 9, 2016.
