                Notice of July 7, 2021

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations

                On July 24, 2011, by Executive Order 13581, the 
                President declared a national emergency with respect to 
                transnational criminal organizations pursuant to the 
                International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 
                1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 
                policy, and economy of the United States constituted by 
                the activities of significant transnational criminal 
                organizations.

                On March 15, 2019, by Executive Order 13863, the 
                President took additional steps to deal with the 
                national emergency with respect to significant 
                transnational criminal organizations in view of the 
                evolution of these organizations as well as the 
                increasing sophistication of their activities, which 
                threaten international political and economic systems 
                and pose a direct threat to the safety and welfare of 
                the United States and its citizens, and given the 
                ability of these organizations to derive revenue 
                through widespread illegal conduct, including acts of 
                violence and abuse that exhibit a wanton disregard for 
                human life as well as many other crimes enriching and 
                empowering these organizations.

                The activities of significant transnational criminal 
                organizations continue to pose an unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign 
                policy, and economy of the United States. For these 
                reasons, the national emergency declared in Executive 
                Order 13581 of July 24, 2011, under which additional 
                steps were taken in Executive Order 13863 of March 15, 
                2019, must continue in effect beyond July 24, 2021. 
                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 with 
                respect to significant transnational criminal 
                organizations declared in Executive Order 13581.
