[Public Notice 3852]


Designation of 39 ``Terrorist Organizations'' Under the ``PATRIOT 
USA Act''

AGENCY: Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism, Department of 
State.

ACTION: Designation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 411(a)(1)(G) of the Uniting andStrengthening 
America by providing Appropriate ToolsRequired to Intercept and 
Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Pub. L. No. 107-56, 115 Stat. 272 
(``USA PATRIOT Act''), the Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
AttorneyGeneral, hereby designates each group listed in the Appendix to 
this notice as a ``terrorist organization.'' This designation is 
effective upon publication.
    Section 411(a)(1)(G) of the USA PATRIOT Act requires the Secretary 
of State to find that a group has engaged in terrorism-related 
activities before designating it as a ``terrorist organization.'' This 
statutory requirement has been satisfied because classified and/or 
unclassified information available to the Secretary of State contains 
findings that the named groups have committed, or have provided 
material support to further, terrorist acts.

    Dated: December 5, 2001.
Mark Wong,
