THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, March 29, 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 13694 of April 1, 2015, is to continue in effect beyond April 1, 2016. 

Significant malicious cyber-enabled activities originating from, or 

directed by persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside 

the United States, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary 

threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 

United States. Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to 

continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 

13694 with respect to significant malicious cyber-enabled activities. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

SIGNIFICANT MALICIOUS CYBER-ENABLED ACTIVITIES

On April 1, 2015, by Executive Order 13694, 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, foreign policy, 

and economy of the United States constituted by the increasing 

prevalence and severity of malicious cyber-enabled activities originating from, or directed by persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States. 

These significant malicious cyber-enabled activities 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 on April 1, 2015, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond April 1, 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 13694. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, March 29, 2016.
