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 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 the situation in 
Nicaragua declared in Executive Order 13851 of November 27, 
2018, is to continue in effect beyond November 27, 2021.
    The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent response 
by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests that began on 
April 18, 2018, and the Ortega regime's systematic dismantling 
and undermining of democratic institutions and the rule of law, 
its use of indiscriminate violence and repressive tactics 
against civilians, as well as its corruption leading to the 
destabilization of Nicaragua's economy, continues to pose an 
unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and 
foreign policy of the United States. For this reason, I have 
determined that it is necessary to continue the national 
emergency declared in Executive Order 13851 with respect to the 
situation in Nicaragua.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, November 16, 2021.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Situation in 
                               Nicaragua

    On November 27, 2018, by Executive Order 13851, 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 and foreign policy of the United States 
constituted by the situation in Nicaragua.
    The situation in Nicaragua, including the violent response 
by the Government of Nicaragua to the protests that began on 
April 18, 2018, and the Ortega regime's systematic dismantling 
and undermining of democratic institutions and the rule of law, 
its use of indiscriminate violence and repressive tactics 
against civilians, as well as its corruption leading to the 
destabilization of Nicaragua's economy, 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 on November 27, 2018, must continue 
in effect beyond November 27, 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 
declared in Executive Order 13851 with respect to the situation 
in Nicaragua.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, November 16, 2021.
