Presidential Notice 13222

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Export Control Regulations

President Obama extended for one year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13222 regarding export control regulations, which was originally issued in 2001 due to the expiration of the Export Administration Act of 1979. The continuation maintains emergency authorities under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act because Congress had not renewed the underlying export control statute.
