(c) Publication in Federal Register
Any Executive order issued under subsection (a) shall be published in the Federal Register and shall specify the law or provision of law affected by the order.
(d) Termination of suspension
An Executive order issued under subsection (a) may be terminated by the President with respect to a particular law or provision of law whenever the President determines that Hong Kong has regained sufficient autonomy to justify different treatment under the law or provision of law in question. Notice of any such termination shall be published in the Federal Register.
