Notice of September 10, 2010


Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks

Consistent with section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing for
1 year the national emergency previously declared on
September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect
to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the
continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on
the United States.

Because the terrorist threat continues, the national
emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the
powers and authorities adopted to deal with that
emergency must continue in effect beyond September 14,
2010. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an
additional year the national emergency that was
declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the
terrorist threat.

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


(Presidential Sig.)

THE WHITE HOUSE,

September 10, 2010.
