In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of Asbat al-Ansar, 
AKA Band of Helpers, AKA Band of Partisans, AKA League of Partisans, 
AKA League of the Followers, AKA God's Partisans, AKA Gathering of 
Supporters, AKA Partisan's League, AKA AAA, AKA Esbat al-Ansar, AKA 
Isbat al-Ansar, AKA Osbat al-Ansar, AKA Usbat al-Ansar, AKA Usbat ul-
Ansar, and, Continuity, Irish Republican Army, AKA CIRA, AKA Continuity 
Army Council, AKA Continuity IRA, AKA Republican Sinn Fein as a Foreign 
Terrorist Organization Pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, as Amended

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Records assembled in 
these matters 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 
2004 re-designation of the aforementioned organizations as foreign 
terrorist organizations have not changed 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 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: November 27, 2009.
James B. Steinberg,
Deputy Secretary of State, Department of State.
