Summary
This order ends the national emergency in Executive Order 13617 about the risk of nuclear proliferation from a large volume of weapons‑usable fissile material in the Russian Federation and revokes that order. It finds the situation changed by implementation of the February 18, 1993 U.S.-Russia agreement on disposition of highly enriched uranium.
The order says ending the emergency does not affect actions or legal proceedings started before this date, nor rights, duties, or penalties that arose earlier, and it does not create new enforceable rights against the United States.
