                Notice of May 9, 2016

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to the Central African Republic

                On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, I declared a 
                national emergency to deal with the unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                foreign policy of the United States constituted by the 
                situation in and in relation to the Central African 
                Republic, which has been marked by a breakdown of law 
                and order, intersectarian tension, widespread violence 
                and atrocities, and the pervasive, often forced 
                recruitment and use of child soldiers, and which 
                threatens the peace, security, or stability of the 
                Central African Republic and neighboring states.

                The situation in and in relation to the Central African 
                Republic continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States. For this reason, the national 
                emergency declared on May 12, 2014, to deal with that 
                threat must continue in effect beyond May 12, 2016. 
                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 13667.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    May 9, 2016.
