DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8310] 

In the Matter of the Review of the 

Designation of Real Irish Republican 

Army and Other Aliases; As a Foreign 

Terrorist Organization Pursuant to 

Section 219 of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act, as Amended 

Based upon a review of the 

Administrative Records assembled in 

these matters pursuant to Section 

219(a)(4)(C) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 

1189(a)(4)(C)) (‘‘INA’’), and in 

consultation with the Attorney General 

and the Secretary of the Treasury, I 

conclude that the circumstances that 

were the basis for the 2008 decision to 

maintain the designation of the 

aforementioned organization as a 

foreign terrorist organization has not 

changed in such a manner as to warrant 

revocation of the designation and that 

the national security of the United 

States does not warrant a revocation of 

the designation. 

Therefore, I hereby determine that the 

designation of RIRA as foreign terrorist 

organization, pursuant to Section 219 of 

the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be 

maintained. 

This determination shall be published 

in the Federal Register. 

Dated:April 26, 2013.
