                Notice of May 13, 2010

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Burma

                On May 20, 1997, the President issued Executive Order 
                13047, certifying to the Congress under section 570(b) 
                of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and 
                Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1997 (Public Law 
                104-208), that the Government of Burma had committed 
                large-scale repression of the democratic opposition in 
                Burma after September 30, 1996, thereby invoking the 
                prohibition on new investment in Burma by United States 
                persons contained in that section. The President also 
                declared a national emergency to deal with the threat 
                posed to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States by the actions and policies of the 
                Government of Burma, invoking the authority, inter 
                alia, of the International Emergency Economic Powers 
                Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.

                Because the actions and policies of the Government of 
                Burma continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States, the national emergency declared on 
                May 20, 1997, and the measures adopted on that date, on 
                July 28, 2003, in Executive Order 13310, on October 18, 
                2007, in Executive Order 13448, and on April 30, 2008, 
                in Executive Order 13464 to deal with that emergency, 
                must continue in effect beyond May 20, 2010. 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 
                Burma. This notice shall be published in the Federal 
                Register and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    May 13, 2010.
