The President

Notice of March 29, 2021

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Sig-

nificant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities

On April 1, 2015, by Executive Order 13694, the President declared a national

emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act

(50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) 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. On December 28, 2016,

the President issued Executive Order 13757 to take additional steps to address

the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13694.

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, must continue in effect beyond April 1, 2021.

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.
