Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to Burma. This notice shall be published in the *Federal Register * and transmitted to the Congress. OB#1.EPS THE WHITE HOUSE, May 13, 2010. [FR Doc. 2010-11945 Filed 5-14-10; 11:15 am]
