                                           The White House,
                                      Washington, November 3, 2016.
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 with 
respect to Iran that was declared in Executive Order 12170 of 
November 14, 1979, is to continue in effect beyond November 14, 
2016.
    Our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal, 
and the process of implementing the agreements with Iran, dated 
January 19, 1981, is still under way. For this reason, I have 
determined that it is necessary to continue the national 
emergency declared in Executive Order 12170 with respect to 
Iran.
            Sincerely,
                                                      Barack Obama.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


      Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran

    On November 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, the 
President declared a national emergency with respect to Iran 
and, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers 
Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706), took related steps to deal with the 
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, 
foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by 
the situation in Iran. Our relations with Iran have not yet 
returned to normal, and the process of implementing the 
agreements with Iran, dated January 19, 1981, is still under 
way. For this reason, the national emergency declared on 
November 14, 1979, must continue in effect beyond November 14, 
2015. 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 with respect to Iran declared 
in Executive Order 12170.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                      Barack Obama.
    The White House, October 18, 2016.
