Summary

This order ends the earlier declared economic emergency and formally revokes the previous emergency export-control order (Executive Order 12924).

It makes clear that any rules, regulations, orders, or licenses put in place under that emergency authority remain in force and enforceable under the underlying export law until they are amended or revoked. The order also keeps in place existing rules related to the Arms Export Control Act and preserves current administrative delegations and procedures.
