                                           The White House,
                                     Washington, February 18, 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 declared in 
Proclamation 9994 of March 13, 2020, beginning March 1, 2020, 
concerning the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, is 
to continue in effect beyond March 1, 2022.
    There remains a need to continue this national emergency. 
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant risk to 
the public health and safety of the Nation. More than 900,000 
people in this Nation have perished from the disease, and it is 
essential to continue to combat and respond to COVID-19 with 
the full capacity and capability of the Federal Government.
    Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to 
continue the national emergency declared in Proclamation 9994 
concerning the COVID-19 pandemic.
            Sincerely,
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


   Continuation of the National Emergency Concerning the Coronavirus 
                    Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic

    On March 13, 2020, by Proclamation 9994, the President 
declared a national emergency concerning the coronavirus 
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic 
continues to cause significant risk to the public health and 
safety of the Nation. For this reason, the national emergency 
declared on March 13, 2020, and beginning March 1, 2020, must 
continue in effect beyond March 1, 2022. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act 
(50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency 
declared in Proclamation 9994 concerning the COVID-19 pandemic.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.
                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, February 18, 2022.
