Document Text

Executive Order 13695 of May 26, 2015

Termination of Emergency With Respect to the Risk
of Nuclear Proliferation Created by the Accumulation of
a Large Volume of Weapons-Usable Fissile Material in
the Territory of the Russian Federation

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA),

I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of
America, find that the situation that gave rise to the
declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order
13617 of June 25, 2012, with respect to the risk of
nuclear proliferation created by the accumulation of a
large volume of weapons-usable fissile material
resulting from the reduction of nuclear weapons in
accordance with agreements in the area of arms control
and disarmament and located in the territory of the
Russian Federation, has been significantly altered by
the successful implementation of the Agreement Between
the Government of the United States of America and the
Government of the Russian Federation Concerning the
Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted from
Nuclear Weapons, dated February 18, 1993, and related
contracts and agreements. Accordingly, I hereby
terminate the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 13617, revoke that order, and further order:

Section 1. Pursuant to section 202(a) of the NEA (50
U.S.C. 1622(a)), termination of the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13617 shall not affect any
action taken or proceeding pending not finally
concluded or determined as of the date of this order,
any action or proceeding based on any act committed
prior to such date, or any rights or duties that
matured or penalties that were incurred prior to such
date.

Sec. 2. This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

May 26, 2015.
