                Notice of October 30, 2020

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Sudan

                On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the 
                President declared a national emergency with respect to 
                Sudan pursuant to the International Emergency Economic 
                Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) and took related steps 
                to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to 
                the national security and foreign policy of the United 
                States posed by the actions and policies of the 
                Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive 
                Order 13400, the President determined that the conflict 
                in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                foreign policy of the United States, expanded the scope 
                of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
                13067, and ordered the blocking of property of certain 
                persons connected to the Darfur region. On October 13, 
                2006, by Executive Order 13412, the President took 
                additional steps with respect to the national emergency 
                declared in Executive Order 13067 and expanded in 
                Executive Order 13400. In Executive Order 13412, the 
                President also took steps to implement the Darfur Peace 
                and Accountability Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-344).

                On January 13, 2017, by Executive Order 13761, the 
                President found that positive efforts by the Government 
                of Sudan between July 2016 and January 2017 improved 
                certain conditions that Executive Orders 13067 and 
                13412 were intended to address. Given these 
                developments, and in order to encourage the Government 
                of Sudan to sustain and enhance these efforts, section 
                1 of Executive Order 13761 provided that sections 1 and 
                2 of Executive Order 13067 and the entirety of 
                Executive Order 13412 would be revoked as of July 12, 
                2017, provided that the criteria in section 12(b) of 
                Executive Order 13761 had been met.

                On July 11, 2017, by Executive Order 13804, I amended 
                Executive Order 13761, extending until October 12, 
                2017, the effective date in section 1 of Executive 
                Order 13761. On October 12, 2017, pursuant to Executive 
                Order 13761, as amended by Executive Order 13804, 
                sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order 13067 and the 
                entirety of Executive Order 13412 were revoked.

                Despite recent positive developments, the crisis 
                constituted by the actions and policies of the 
                Government of Sudan that led to the declaration of a 
                national emergency in Executive Order 13067 of November 
                3, 1997; the expansion of that emergency in Executive 
                Order 13400 of April 26, 2006; and, with respect to 
                which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 
                13412 of October 13, 2006, Executive Order 13761 of 
                January 13, 2017, and Executive Order 13804 of July 11, 
                2017, has not been resolved. These actions and policies 
                continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to 
                the national security and foreign policy of the United 
                States. Therefore, I have determined that it is 
                necessary to continue the national emergency declared 
                in Executive Order 13067, as expanded by Executive 
                Order 13400, with respect to Sudan.
