Plain-language summary
Terminates the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13617 of June 25, 2012, which concerned risks of nuclear proliferation from a large volume of weapons-usable fissile material in the territory of the Russian Federation. Finds that the situation has been significantly altered by successful implementation of the 1993 U.S.-Russia agreement on disposition of highly enriched uranium extracted from nuclear weapons, along with related contracts and agreements. Revokes Executive Order 13617 entirely. Specifies that ending the emergency does not affect any legal actions, proceedings, rights, duties, or penalties that arose or were pending before this order's date. States that the order creates no enforceable legal rights or benefits for any party against the United States or its officers and agents.

Legal standing
Not yet published. Court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to individual orders will appear here once each can be linked to its source record.
Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.
Claimed authority
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA)
Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
Disposition
Revokes: EO 13617, June 25, 2012
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.

Executive Order 13695 of May 26, 2015
Termination of Emergency With Respect to the Risk
of Nuclear Proliferation Created by the Accumulation of
a Large Volume of Weapons-Usable Fissile Material in
the Territory of the Russian Federation
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA),
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of
America, find that the situation that gave rise to the
declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order
13617 of June 25, 2012, with respect to the risk of
nuclear proliferation created by the accumulation of a
large volume of weapons-usable fissile material
resulting from the reduction of nuclear weapons in
accordance with agreements in the area of arms control
and disarmament and located in the territory of the
Russian Federation, has been significantly altered by
the successful implementation of the Agreement Between
the Government of the United States of America and the
Government of the Russian Federation Concerning the
Disposition of Highly Enriched Uranium Extracted from
Nuclear Weapons, dated February 18, 1993, and related
contracts and agreements. Accordingly, I hereby
terminate the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 13617, revoke that order, and further order:
Section 1. Pursuant to section 202(a) of the NEA (50
U.S.C. 1622(a)), termination of the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13617 shall not affect any
action taken or proceeding pending not finally
concluded or determined as of the date of this order,
any action or proceeding based on any act committed
prior to such date, or any rights or duties that
matured or penalties that were incurred prior to such
date.
Sec. 2. This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
(Presidential Sig.)
