                Notice of May 9, 2017

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

                On May 12, 2014, by Executive Order 13667, the 
                President 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, 2017. 
                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, 2017.
