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.
