                Notice of August 13, 2020

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Export Control Regulations

                On August 17, 2001, the President issued Executive 
                Order 13222 pursuant to the International Emergency 
                Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.). In that 
                order, the President declared a national emergency with 
                respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the 
                national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 
                United States related to the expiration of the Export 
                Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. 4601 
                et seq.). Because the implementation of certain 
                sanctions authorities, including sections 11A, 11B, and 
                11C of such Export Administration Act of 1979, 
                consistent with section 1766(b) of Public Law 115-232 
                (50 U.S.C. 4601 note), is to be carried out under the 
                International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the 
                national emergency declared on August 17, 2001, must 
                continue in effect beyond August 17, 2020. 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, as amended by Executive Order 13637 of 
                March 8, 2013.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    August 13, 2020.
