                Notice of October 27, 2009

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Sudan

                On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the 
                President declared a national emergency with respect to 
                Sudan, 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 actions and policies of the 
                Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, in Executive 
                Order 13400, the President determined that the conflict 
                in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                foreign policy of the United States, expanded the scope 
                of the national emergency to deal with that threat, and 
                ordered the blocking of property of certain persons 
                connected to the conflict. On October 13, 2006, the 
                President issued Executive Order 13412 to take 
                additional steps with respect to the national emergency 
                and to implement the Darfur Peace and Accountability 
                Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-344).

                Because the actions and policies of the Government of 
                Sudan continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States, the national emergency declared on 
                November 3, 1997, as expanded on April 26, 2006, and 
                with respect to which additional steps were taken on 
                October 13, 2006, must continue in effect beyond 
                November 3, 2009. Therefore, consistent 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 Sudan.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    October 27, 2009.
