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 declared in Executive Order 13694 
of April 1, 2015, as amended by Executive Order 13757 of 
December 28, 2016, is to continue in effect beyond April 1, 
2019.
    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, as amended by Executive 
Order 13757, with respect to significant malicious cyber-
enabled activities.
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


  Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Significant 
                   Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities

    On April 1, 2015, by Executive Order 13694, the President 
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. On December 28, 2016, the President 
issued Executive Order 13757 to take additional steps to 
address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
13694.
    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, must continue in effect beyond April 1, 2019. 
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, as 
amended by Executive Order 13757.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                                   Donald J. Trump.
