                Notice of April 10, 2012

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Somalia

                On April 12, 2010, by Executive Order 13536, I 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 fragile security situation 
                and the persistence of violence in Somalia, and acts of 
                piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of 
                Somalia, which have repeatedly been the subject of 
                United Nations Security Council resolutions, and 
                violations of the Somalia arms embargo imposed by the 
                United Nations Security Council.

                Because the situation with respect to Somalia continues 
                to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
                national security and foreign policy of the United 
                States, the national emergency declared on April 12, 
                2010, and the measures adopted on that date to deal 
                with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond 
                April 12, 2012. 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 13536.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    April 10, 2012.
