                 Notice of October 28, 2021
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect to Sudan
                 On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the
                 President declared a national emergency with respect to
                 Sudan pursuant to the International Emergency Economic
                 Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706), and took related
                 steps to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat
                 to the national security and foreign policy of the
                 United States posed by the actions and policies of the
                 Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive
                 Order 13400, the President determined that the conflict
                 in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and
                 extraordinary threat to the national security and
                 foreign policy of the United States, expanded the scope
                 of the national emergency declared in Executive Order
                 13067, and ordered the blocking of property of certain
                 persons connected to the Darfur region. On October 13,
                 2006, by Executive Order 13412, the President took
                 additional steps with respect to the national emergency
                 declared in Executive Order 13067 and expanded in
                 Executive Order 13400. In Executive Order 13412, the
                 President also took steps to implement the Darfur Peace
                 and Accountability Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-344).
                 On January 13, 2017, by Executive Order 13761, the
                 President found that positive efforts by the Government
                 of Sudan between July 2016 and January 2017 improved
                 certain conditions that Executive Orders 13067 and
                 13412 were intended to address. Given these
                 developments, and in order to encourage the Government
                 of Sudan to sustain and enhance these efforts, section
                 1 of Executive Order 13761 provided that sections 1 and
                 2 of Executive Order 13067 and the entirety of
                 Executive Order 13412 would be revoked as of July 12,
                 2017, provided that the criteria in section 12(b) of
                 Executive Order 13761 had been met.
                 On July 11, 2017, by Executive Order 13804, the
                 President amended Executive Order 13761, extending
                 until October 12, 2017, the effective date in section 1
                 of Executive Order 13761. On October 12, 2017, pursuant
                 to Executive Order 13761, as amended by Executive Order
                 13804, sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order 13067 and
                 the entirety of Executive Order 13412 were revoked.
                 Sudan made strides in its transition toward democracy
                 since 2019, but the military takeover of the government
                 and arrest of civilian leaders now threaten those
                 positive gains. The crisis that led to the declaration
                 of a national emergency in Executive Order 13067 of
                 November 3, 1997; the expansion of that emergency in
                 Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006; and the taking
                 of additional steps with respect to that emergency in
                 Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, Executive
                 Order 13761 of January 13, 2017, and Executive Order
                 13804 of July 11, 2017, has not been resolved. The
                 situation in Darfur 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 in Executive Order
                 13067, as expanded by Executive Order 13400, must
                 continue in effect beyond November 3, 2021.
