Declarations under the National Emergencies

Act, Part 1: Declarations Currently in Effect

Emily E. Roberts

Law Librarian

February 28, 2019

On February 15, 2019, President Trump declared a national emergency under the National Emergencies

Act to aid in the construction of physical barriers along the U.S. border with Mexico. Besides raising

questions about whether a national emergency declaration can facilitate the construction of such barriers

(a topic discussed in a related Sidebar), the declaration has also prompted more general interest in the

National Emergencies Act, including in other emergencies declared under the Act that are currently in

effect.

This Sidebar—the first of a two-part series identifying declarations issued under the National

Emergencies Act, provides a Table identifying national emergency declarations that are currently in

effect as of February 15, 2019 (the companion Sidebar, identifying declarations no longer in effect, can

be found here). The Table notes when later Executive Orders or Presidential Proclamations modified the

initial executive action in which a national emergency was declared. The Table also lists statutory

authorities cited to support the initial Executive Order or Presidential Proclamation, along with statutory

authorities expressly cited in those documents as the legal basis for actions taken in response to the

declared emergency. Finally, the Table identifies the date when the declared emergency was last extended

or, if it has not been extended, the date when it is currently set to expire.

This list was generated by searching the Presidential Documents database on Westlaw for citations to the

National Emergencies Act and the terms emergency and declare or proclaim, and by reviewing

presidential actions posted on the White House website on February 15, 2019 following announcement of

the declaration that day. To determine the status of each declared national emergency, we consulted the

Executive Orders Disposition Tables, produced by the National Archives, and searched the Federal

Register database on Westlaw for the Executive Order or Presidential Proclamation number and variations

and combinations of the terms contin! or revok! or rescind! or termin!.

In part because there is little case law on the matter and the Executive has arguably taken conflicting

views over the years on the Act's relationship with other statutes, this Sidebar identifies only those

Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations that expressly invoke the National Emergencies Act.

1 This column only lists statutes expressly identified in the initial Executive Order or Presidential Proclamation as providing the

basis for a specific substantive provision within the executive action. For example, the column does not identify United Nations

Security Council Resolutions cited in support of certain actions. Additionally, other sources of authority that might be relied upon

as the basis for a particular provision within the Order or Proclamation are not identified. For instance, Executive Order No.

13,694 provides that covered persons shall be denied entry into the United States; though not expressly providing that such denial

is pursuant to Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the order cross-references a Presidential Proclamation that

relies upon to Section 212(f) as its legal basis. Neither the earlier Presidential Proclamation nor the statutory provision cited

therein is listed in the Table.
