79-011                         WASHINGTON : 2017 















To the Congress of the United States:
    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 before 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, 2017.
    Our relations with Iran have not yet normalized, and the 
process of implementing the agreements with Iran, dated January 
19, 1981, is ongoing. For this reason, I have determined that 
it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in 
Executive Order 12170 with respect to Iran.
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


      Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran

    On November 14, 1979, in Executive Order 12170, the 
President declared a national emergency with respect to Iran 
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.
    Our relations with Iran have not yet normalized, and the 
process of implementing the agreements with Iran, dated January 
19, 1981, is ongoing. For this reason, the national emergency 
declared on November 14, 1979, and the measures adopted on that 
date to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect 
beyond November 14, 2017. 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.
    The emergency declared in Executive Order 12170 is distinct 
from the emergency declared in Executive Order 12957 on March 
15, 1995. This renewal, therefore, is distinct from the 
emergency renewal of January 13, 2017.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                   Donald J. Trump.
    The White House, November 6, 2017.
