                                           The White House,
                                      Washington, November 9, 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 declared in 
Executive Order 13712 of November 22, 2015, with respect to the 
situation in Burundi, is to continue in effect beyond November 
22, 2016.
    The situation in Burundi, which has been marked by the 
killing of and violence against civilians, unrest, the 
incitement of violence, and significant political repression, 
and which threatens the peace, security, and stability of 
Burundi, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat 
to the national security and foreign policy of the United 
States. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary 
to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
13712 with respect to the situation in Burundi.
            Sincerely,
                                                      Barack Obama.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


     Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Burundi

    On November 22, 2015, by Executive Order 13712, I declared 
a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary 
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the 
United States constituted by the situation in Burundi, which 
has been marked by the killing of and violence against 
civilians, unrest, the incitement of imminent violence, and 
significant political repression, and which threatens the 
peace, security, and stability of Burundi.
    The situation in Burundi 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 on November 22, 2015, to deal with that 
threat must continue in effect beyond November 22, 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 13712.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                      Barack Obama.
    The White House, November 9, 2016.
