   April 18, 2023.--Message and accompanying papers referred to the 
         Committee on Foreign Affairs and ordered to be printed
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 declared in Proclamation 10371 of 
April 21, 2022, with respect to the Russian Federation and the 
emergency authority relating to the regulation of the anchorage 
and movement of Russian-affiliated vessels to United States 
ports, is to continue in effect beyond April 21, 2023.
    The policies and actions of the Government of the Russian 
Federation to continue the premeditated, unjustified, 
unprovoked, and brutal war against Ukraine continue to 
constitute a national emergency by reason of a disturbance or 
threatened disturbance of international relations of the United 
States. Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to 
continue the national emergency declared in Proclamation 10371.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

                                 NOTICE

                              ----------                              


 Continuation of the National Emergency and of the Emergency Authority 
  Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Russian-
               Affiliated Vessels to United States Ports

    On April 21, 2022, by Proclamation 10371, I declared a 
national emergency by reason of a disturbance or threatened 
disturbance of international relations of the United States and 
authorized the Secretary of Homeland Security to regulate the 
anchorage and movement of Russian-affiliated vessels, pursuant 
to the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) and 
section 1 of title II of Public Law 65-24, ch. 30, June 15, 
1917, as amended (Magnuson Act) (46 U.S.C. 70051).
    The policies and actions of the Government of the Russian 
Federation to continue the premeditated, unjustified, 
unprovoked, and brutal war against Ukraine continue to 
constitute a national emergency by reason of a disturbance or 
threatened disturbance of international relations of the United 
States. 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 the Russian 
Federation and the emergency authority relating to the 
regulation of the anchorage and movement of Russian-affiliated 
vessels to United States ports set out in Proclamation 10371.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
    The White House, April 18, 2023.
