                Notice of August 15, 2012

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Export Control Regulations

                On August 17, 2001, consistent with the authority 
                provided to the President under the International 
                Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), 
                the President issued Executive Order 13222. In that 
                order, he declared a national emergency with respect to 
                the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security, foreign policy, and economy of the United 
                States in light of the expiration of the Export 
                Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 
                2401 et seq.). Because the Export Administration Act 
                has not been renewed by the Congress, the national 
                emergency declared on August 17, 2001, must continue in 
                effect beyond August 17, 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 13222.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    August 15, 2012.
