Presidential Notice 10371

Continuation of the National Emergency and of the Emergency Authority Relating to the Regulation of the Anchorage and Movement of Russian-Affiliated Vessels to United States Ports

This notice continues for one year a national emergency first declared in April 2022, maintaining the Secretary of Homeland Security's authority to regulate Russian-affiliated vessels' anchorage and movement in U.S. ports. The continuation is justified by Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine and its threat to international relations. No new authorities are created; existing emergency powers are simply extended.
