DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 4097]


Office of Counterterrorism; Determination Pursuant to Section 
1(b) of Executive Order 13224 Relating to New People's Army/Communist 
Party of the Philippines and Jose Maria Sison

    Acting under the authority of section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224 
of September 23, 2001, and in consultation with the Secretary of the 
Treasury and the Attorney General, the Secretary of State hereby 
determines that the New People's Army/Communist Party of the 
Philippines and Jose Maria Sison have committed, or pose 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, the 
Secretary of State determines that no prior notice need 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.

Timothy Egert,
Federal Register Liaison, Department of State.
