                                    Washington, September 15, 2021.
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 persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support 
terrorism declared in Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 
2001, as amended, is to continue in effect beyond September 23, 
2021.
    The crisis constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and 
threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including 
the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York and 
Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon, and the continuing and 
immediate threat of further attacks on United States nationals 
or the United States that led to the declaration of a national 
emergency on September 23, 2001, has not been resolved. This 
crisis continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to 
the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 
United States. For this reason, I have determined that it is 
necessary to continue the national emergency declared in 
Executive Order 13224, as amended, with respect to persons who 
commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism.
            Sincerely,
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.


















                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


  Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Persons Who 
            Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism

    On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, the 
President 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, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
States constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and threats 
of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the 
terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York and 
Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon, and the continuing and 
immediate threat of further attacks against United States 
nationals or the United States.
    On September 9, 2019, the President signed Executive Order 
13886 to strengthen and consolidate sanctions to combat the 
continuing threat posed by international terrorism and to take 
additional steps to deal with the national emergency declared 
in Executive Order 13224, as amended.
    The actions of persons who commit, threaten to commit, or 
support terrorism 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 in Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as 
amended, and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency, 
must continue in effect beyond September 23, 2021. 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 with respect to persons who commit, threaten 
to commit, or support terrorism declared in Executive Order 
13224, as amended.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, September 15, 2021.
