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 13466 of June 26, 2008, is to continue in effect beyond June 

26, 2009. 

The current existence and risk of the proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula constitute a continuing 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 

and maintain certain restrictions with respect to North Korea and 

North Korean nationals that would otherwise have been lifted in 

Proclamation 8271 of June 26, 2008. 

BARACK OBAMA.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

NORTH KOREA

On June 26, 2008, by Executive Order 13466, the President 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 current existence and risk of the proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material 

on the Korean Peninsula. The President also found that it was necessary to maintain certain restrictions with respect to North Korea 

that would otherwise have been lifted pursuant to Proclamation 

8271 of June 26, 2008, which terminated the exercise of authorities 

under Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1–44) with respect to North Korea. 

Because the existence and risk of the proliferation of weaponsusable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula continue to pose an 

unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared 

on June 26, 2008, and the measures adopted on that date to deal 

with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond June 26, 2009. 

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 13466. 

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

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, June 24, 2009.
