 September 9, 2022.--Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and 
                         ordered to be printed.
                                           The White House,
                                     Washington, September 9, 2022.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam 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 Ethiopia that was declared in Executive Order 14046 
of September 17, 2021, is to continue in effect beyond 
September 17, 2022.
    The situation in and in relation to northern Ethiopia, has 
been marked by activities that threaten the peace, security, 
and stability of Ethiopia and the greater Horn of Africa 
region--in particular, widespread violence, atrocities, and 
serious human rights abuse, including those involving ethnic-
based violence, rape and other forms of gender-based violence, 
and obstruction of humanitarian operations--continues to pose 
an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security 
and foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, I have 
determined that it is necessary to continue the national 
emergency declared in Executive Order 14046 with respect to 
Ethiopia.
            Sincerely,
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


          Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect
                              to Ethiopia

    On September 17, 2021, by Executive Order 14046, I declared 
a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency 
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal with the 
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and 
foreign policy of the United States constituted by the 
situation in and in relation to northern Ethiopia.
    The situation in and in relation to northern Ethiopia, 
which has been marked by activities that threaten the peace, 
security, and stability of Ethiopia and the greater Horn of 
Africa region--in particular, widespread violence, atrocities, 
and serious human rights abuses, including those involving 
ethnic-based violence, rape and other forms of gender-based 
violence, and obstruction of humanitarian operations--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 in Executive Order 
14046 of September 17, 2021, must continue in effect beyond 
September 17, 2022. 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 14046 with respect to Ethiopia.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, September 9, 2022.

                                  
                                  
                                  [all]
