[Public Notice 8821] 

In the Matter of the Review of the 

Designation of Asbat al-Ansar, (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 

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 

2009 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. 

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.
