**In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of Palestinian Islamic**  **Jihad as a Foreign Terrorist Organization Pursuant to Section 219**  **of the Immigration and Nationality Act**

Based upon a review of the
Administrative Record assembled in this matter pursuant to Section 219(a)(4)(C) and (b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)(C), (b)) (‘‘INA’’), and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of State concludes that the
circumstances that were the basis for the
2008 decision to maintain the designation of the aforementioned organization as a foreign terrorist organization have 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 of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Therefore, the Secretary of State hereby determines that the designation of the aforementioned organization as a 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

.

**U.S. Department of State Advisory**
**Committee on Private International Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on the**  **Hague Trusts Convention**

The Office of the Assistant Legal
Adviser for Private International Law in the Department of State gives notice of a public meeting to discuss the Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on Their Recognition, which was done at The Hague on July 1, 1985 (hereinafter ‘‘Hague Trusts Convention’’ or ‘‘Convention’’). The public meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 21, 2015, from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. EST. This is not a meeting of the full Advisory Committee.

The purpose of the public meeting is
to assess the current level of interest among domestic stakeholders in the Hague Trusts Convention. The Convention was signed on behalf of the United States on June 13, 1988, but the United States is not a party. Eleven countries, in whole or in part, are parties to the Convention, including most common-law jurisdictions and a
small number of civil-law countries in Europe.

The Office of the Assistant Legal
Adviser for Private International Law is considering whether U.S. ratification of the Convention would be beneficial, as part of a more general initiative to try to address the domestic implementation of private international law treaties. For example, it would be useful to learn of the types of issues that may be confronted by those persons involved in handling trusts that have cross-border aspects, and the potential impact that
the Convention would have on these

issues.

Time and Place: The meeting will take place from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. EST on January 21, in Room 240, South Building, State Department Annex 4, Washington, DC 20037. Participants should plan to arrive at the Navy Hill gate on the west side of 23rd Street NW., at the intersection of 23rd Street NW., and D Street NW., by 10:00 a.m. for visitor screening.
