threat to the national security, foreign policy, and

economy of the United States constituted by the

increasing prevalence and severity of malicious cyber-

persons located, in whole or in substantial part,

outside the United States. On December 28, 2016, the

President issued Executive Order 13757 to take

These significant malicious cyber-enabled activities

continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to

the national security, foreign policy, and economy of

the United States. For this reason, the national

emergency declared on April 1, 2015, must continue in

effect beyond April 1, 2018. 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

as amended by Executive Order 13757.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

and transmitted to the Congress.

(Presidential Sig.)
