                Notice of May 8, 2017

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Yemen

                On May 16, 2012, by Executive Order 13611, 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 actions and 
                policies of certain members of the Government of Yemen 
                and others. These actions and policies threatened 
                Yemen's peace, security, and stability, including by 
                obstructing the political process in Yemen and the 
                implementation of the agreement of November 23, 2011, 
                between the Government of Yemen and those in opposition 
                to it, which provided for a peaceful transition of 
                power that meets the legitimate demands and aspirations 
                of the Yemeni people for change.

                The actions and policies of certain members of the 
                Government of Yemen and others in threatening Yemen's 
                peace, security, and stability continue to pose an 
                unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security and foreign policy of the United States. For 
                this reason, the national emergency declared on May 16, 
                2012, to deal with that threat must continue in effect 
                beyond May 16, 2017. 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 13611.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    May 8, 2017.
