DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 6423]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of the Basque 
Fatherland and Liberty, the National Liberation Army, the Islamic 
Resistance Movement, Hizballah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of 
Palestine--GC, the Kurdistan Workers Party, the Abu Sayyaf Group, and 
All Associated Aliases as Foreign Terrorist Organizations Pursuant to 
Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Records assembled in this 
matter, and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary 
of the Treasury, I conclude that the circumstances that were the basis 
for the 2003 re-designations of the aforementioned organizations as 
foreign terrorist organizations have not changed

[[Page 66095]]

in such a manner as to warrant revocation of the designations and that 
the national security of the United States does not warrant a 
revocation.
    Therefore, I hereby determine that the designation of the 
aforementioned organizations as foreign terrorist organizations, 
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: October 29, 2008.
John D. Negroponte,
Deputy Secretary of State.
