U.S. GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE
29-011 WASHINGTON : 2022
To the Congress of the United States:
Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.
1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national
emergency unless, within 90 days prior to the anniversary date
of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal
Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that
the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary
date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent to the
Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating
that the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660
of March 6, 2014, which was expanded in scope in Executive
Order 13661 of March 16, 2014, Executive Order 13662 of March
20, 2014, and Executive Order 14065 of February 21, 2022, and
under which additional steps were taken in Executive Order
13685 of December 19, 2014 and Executive Order 13849 of
September 20, 2018, is to continue in effect beyond March 6,
2022.
The actions and policies of persons that undermine
democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its
peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial
integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its
assets, as well as the actions and policies of the Government
of the Russian Federation, including its purported annexation
of Crimea, its use of force in Ukraine, and its purported
recognition of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic or
Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine, continue to pose
an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security
and foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, I have
determined that it is necessary to continue the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13660 with respect to
Ukraine.

Notice
----------
Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Ukraine
On March 6, 2014, by Executive Order 13660, the President
declared a national emergency pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal
with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by
the actions and policies of persons that undermine democratic
processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace,
security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity;
and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets.
On March 16, 2014, the President issued Executive Order
13661, which expanded the scope of the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13660, and found that the actions
and policies of the Government of the Russian Federation with
respect to Ukraine undermine democratic processes and
institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security,
stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and
contribute to the misappropriation of its assets.
On March 20, 2014, the President issued Executive Order
13662, which further expanded the scope of the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, as expanded in
scope in Executive Order 13661, and found that the actions and
policies of the Government of the Russian Federation, including
its purported annexation of Crimea and its use of force in
Ukraine, continue to undermine democratic processes and
institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security,
stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and
contribute to the misappropriation of its assets.
On December 19, 2014, the President issued Executive Order
13685, to take additional steps to address the Russian
occupation of the Crimea region of Ukraine.
On September 20, 2018, the President issued Executive Order
13849, to take additional steps to implement certain statutory
sanctions with respect to the Russian Federation.
On February 21, 2022, the President issued Executive Order
14065, which further expanded the scope of the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, as expanded in
scope in Executive Orders 13661 and 13662, and relied on for
additional steps taken in Executive Orders 13685 and 13849, and
found that the Russian Federation's purported recognition of
the so-called Donetsk People's Republic or Luhansk People's
Republic regions of Ukraine contradicts Russia's commitments
under the Minsk agreements and further threatens the peace,
stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine,
and thereby constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to
the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
The actions and policies addressed in these Executive
Orders 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 13660, which was expanded in scope in Executive Order
13661, Executive Order 13662, and Executive Order 14065, and
under which additional steps were taken in Executive Order
13685 and Executive Order 13849, must continue in effect beyond
March 6, 2022. 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 13660.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
Joseph R. Biden, Jr.
The White House, March 2, 2022.
