Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Sudan

                On November 3, 1997, by Executive Order 13067, the 
                President declared a national emergency with respect to 
                Sudan pursuant to the International Emergency Economic 
                Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and took related 
                steps to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat 
                to the national security and foreign policy of the 
                United States posed by the actions and policies of the 
                Government of Sudan. On April 26, 2006, by Executive 
                Order 13400, the President determined that the conflict 
                in Sudan's Darfur region posed an unusual and 
                extraordinary threat to the national security and 
                foreign policy of the United States, expanded the scope 
                of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 
                13067, and ordered the blocking of property of certain 
                persons connected to the Darfur region. On October 13, 
                2006, by Executive Order 13412, the President took 
                additional steps with respect to the national emergency 
                declared in Executive Order 13067 and expanded in 
                Executive Order 13400. In Executive Order 13412, the 
                President also took steps to implement the Darfur Peace 
                and Accountability Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-344).

                On January 13, 2017, by Executive Order 13761, the 
                President found that positive efforts by the Government 
                of Sudan between July 2016 and January 2017 improved 
                certain conditions that Executive Orders 13067 and 
                13412 were intended to address. Given these 
                developments, and in order to encourage the Government 
                of Sudan to sustain and enhance these efforts, section 
                1 of Executive Order 13761 provided that sections 1 and 
                2 of Executive Order 13067 and the entirety of 
                Executive Order 13412 would be revoked as of July 12, 
                2017, provided that the criteria in section 12(b) of 
                Executive Order 13761 had been met.

                On July 11, 2017, by Executive Order 13804, the 
                President amended Executive Order 13761, extending 
                until October 12, 2017, the effective date in section 1 
                of Executive Order 13761. On October 12, 2017, pursuant 
                to Executive Order 13761, as amended by Executive Order 
                13804, sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order 13067 and 
                the entirety of Executive Order 13412 were revoked.

                On May 4, 2023, by Executive Order 14098, I further 
                expanded the scope of the national emergency declared 
                in Executive Order 13067, finding that the situation in 
                Sudan, including the military's seizure of power in 
                October 2021 and the outbreak of inter-service fighting 
                in April 2023, constituted an unusual and extraordinary 
                threat to the national security and foreign policy of 
                the United States.

                The crisis that led to the declaration of a national 
                emergency in Executive Order 13067 of November 3, 1997; 
                the expansion of the scope of that emergency in 
                Executive Order 13400 of April 26, 2006; the taking of 
                additional steps with respect to that emergency in 
                Executive Order 13412 of October 13, 2006, Executive 
                Order 13761 of January 13, 2017, and Executive Order 
                13804 of July 11, 2017; and the further expansion of 
                the scope of that emergency in Executive Order 14098 of 
                May 4, 2023, has not been resolved. The policies and 
                actions of the Government of Sudan, and the situation 
                in Sudan and Darfur, continue 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 in Executive Order 
                13067,

                as expanded by Executive Orders 13400 and 14098, must 
                continue in effect beyond November 3, 2023.

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

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    October 31, 2023.
