[Public Notice 6325]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of Real Irish 
Republican Army 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, and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary 
of the Treasury, I conclude that there is a sufficient factual basis to 
find that the circumstances that were the basis for the 2003 re-
designation of the Real Irish Republican Army 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.
    Therefore, I hereby determine that the designation of the Real 
Irish Republican Army as a foreign terrorist organization, pursuant to 
Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 
U.S.C. 1189), shall be maintained.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: August 11, 2008.
John D. Negroponte,
Deputy Secretary of State, Department of State.
