Continuation of Emergency Regarding Export Control Regulations

Executive Order 13222. In that order, I declared a
national emergency with respect to the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States in light of
the expiration of the Export Administration Act of
1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. App. 2401 et seq.). Because
the Export Administration Act has not been renewed by
the Congress, the national emergency declared on August
17, 2001, must continue in effect beyond August 17,
2007. 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 13222.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register
and transmitted to the Congress.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

August 15, 2007.
