                Notice of March 29, 2016

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled 
                Activities

                On April 1, 2015, by Executive Order 13694, 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, foreign policy, and economy of the 
                United States constituted by the increasing prevalence 
                and severity of malicious cyber-enabled activities 
                originating from, or directed by persons located, in 
                whole or in substantial part, outside the United 
                States.

                These significant malicious cyber-enabled activities 
                continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to 
                the national security, foreign policy, and economy of 
                the United States. For this reason, the national 
                emergency declared on April 1, 2015, and the measures 
                adopted on that date to deal with that emergency, must 
                continue in effect beyond April 1, 2016. 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 13694.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    March 29, 2016.
