[Public Notice 6633]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of Abu Nidal 
Organization Movement (ANO) and Palestinian Liberation Front--Abu Abbas 
Faction (PLF) and All Designated Aliases, as Foreign Terrorist 
Organizations Pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, as Amended

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Record assembled in this 
matter 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 
2003 re-designation of the aforementioned organizations as foreign 
terrorist organizations 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 designations.
    Therefore, I hereby determine that the designations of the 
aforementioned organizations as foreign terrorist organizations, 
pursuant to Section 219 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be 
maintained.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: May 13 2009.
James B. Steinberg,
Deputy Secretary of State, Department of State.
