[Public Notice: 7086] 

In the Matter of the Review of the 

Designation of the Communist Party of 

the Philippines/New People’s Army 

(aka CPP/NPA 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 Record assembled in 

this matter 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 2004 redesignation 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. 

Therefore, I hereby determine 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. 

Dated: June 30, 2010.

Deputy Secretary of State.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GSP 

program provides for the duty-free 

importation of designated articles when 

imported from beneficiary developing 

countries. The GSP program is 

authorized by Title V of the Trade Act 

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.), as 

amended, and is implemented in 

accordance with Executive Order 11888 

of November 24, 1975, as modified by 

subsequent Executive Orders and 

Presidential Proclamations. 

In the 2009 Annual Review, the Trade 

Policy Staff Committee reviewed a 

number of petitions to change product 

coverage of the GSP, and evaluated the 

2009 value of U.S. imports of each GSPeligible article to determine whether 

imports of an article from a GSP 

beneficiary developing country 

exceeded the CNLs. The results of the 

2009 GSP Annual Review, comprising 

eight lists, are available for public 

viewing at http://www.regulations.gov 

in docket USTR–2009–0037, Supporting 

and Related Materials. These lists are

were denied. Additional information 

about the disposition of the petitions to

that article was below the 2009 de 

minimis level of $19.5 million. List VI
