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.

----------
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.
