                Notice of June 23, 2011

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to North Korea

                On June 26, 2008, by Executive Order 13466, 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 existence and risk 
                of the proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material 
                on the Korean Peninsula. The President also found that 
                it was necessary to maintain certain restrictions with 
                respect to North Korea that would otherwise have been 
                lifted pursuant to Proclamation 8271 of June 26, 2008, 
                which terminated the exercise of authorities under the 
                Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. App. 1-44) with 
                respect to North Korea.

                On August 30, 2010, I signed Executive Order 13551, 
                which expanded the scope of the national emergency 
                declared in Executive Order 13466 to deal with the 
                unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
                States posed by the continued actions and policies of 
                the Government of North Korea.

                On April 18, 2011, I signed Executive Order 13570 to 
                take additional steps to address the national emergency 
                declared in Executive Order 13466, and expanded in 
                Executive Order 13551, to ensure the implementation of 
                the import restrictions contained in United Nations 
                Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874 and 
                complement the import restrictions provided for in the 
                Arms Export Control Act.

                Because the existence and the risk of proliferation of 
                weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula 
                and the actions and policies of the Government of North 
                Korea continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security, foreign policy, and 
                economy of the United States, the national emergency 
                declared in Executive Order 13466, expanded in scope in 
                Executive Order 13551, and addressed further in 
                Executive Order 13570, and the measures taken to deal 
                with that national emergency, must continue in effect 
                beyond June 26, 2011. 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 13466.
