Notice of October 27, 2009

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), to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions and policies of the

Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, in 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 to deal with that threat, and ordered the blocking of property of certain persons connected to the conflict. On October 13, 2006, the

President issued Executive Order 13412 to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency and to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability

Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-344).

Because the actions and policies of the Government of

Sudan continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on

November 3, 1997, as expanded on April 26, 2006, and with respect to which additional steps were taken on

October 13, 2006, must continue in effect beyond

November 3, 2009. Therefore, consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to Sudan.

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

(Presidential Sig.)

THE WHITE HOUSE,

October 27, 2009.
