for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, also known as Unity Movement for Jihad in West Africa, also known as Jamat Tawhid Wal Jihad Fi Garbi Afriqqiya, also known as Tawhid Wal Jihad in West Africa, also known as MUJWA, also known as MUJAO, also known TWJWA, committed, or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United

States.

Consistent with the determination in
section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that ‘‘prior notice to persons determined to be subject to the Order who might have a constitutional presence in the United
States would render ineffectual the blocking and other measures authorized in the Order because of the ability to transfer funds instantaneously,’’ I determine that no prior notice needs to be provided to any person subject to this determination who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, because to do so would render
ineffectual the measures authorized in
the Order.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register

.

Dated: December 4, 2012. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State.

This survey review captures the results of these

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Section 1318 of MAP–21 (112 Pub. L. 141, 126 Stat. 405) requires a survey of CE use for transportation projects since 2005, a description of CE actions and any requests for new CEs received by the Secretary since 2005, and a solicitation request for new CEs from a variety of stakeholders. The statute requires publication of the survey.

To comply with the survey requirement, the FHWA and FTA
reviewed the administrative records of rulemakings for new FHWA and/or FTA CEs since 2005 and in the Department’s review of regulations in 2011. The
administrative records for the rulemakings included Notice of Proposed Rulemakings (NPRM), public comments on these rulemakings, and as
final rules associated with these NPRMs, as applicable (72 FR 44038 (Aug. 7, 2007), Docket No. FTA–2006– 26604 and 77 FR 15310 (Mar. 15, 2012), Docket No. FTA–2011–0056). In addition, FHWA and FTA reviewed requests for new CEs received as a part of the assessment of Federal regulations in response to the President’s Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, January 18, 2011). The request for new CEs was documented in the Retrospective Review and Analysis of Existing Rules (Department of Transportation, August 2011). Also, in September 2012, the Secretary sent a questionnaire, OMB Control No. 2125–0632, to SDOTs, transit authorities, MPOs, local public agencies, and federally recognized Tribal Governments asking for actions they request for consideration as new CEs through rulemaking.

The questionnaire asked SDOTs, transit authorities, MPOs, and federally recognized Tribal Governments to provide information on:

• CEs processed as a part of the NEPA for transportation projects since 2005;
