The Designation of Abdallah Azzam Brigades, Also Known as 
Abdullah Azzam Brigades, Also Known as Ziyad al-Jarrah Battalions of 
the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, Also Known as Yusuf al-'Uyayri Battalions 
of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, as a Specially Designated Global 
Terrorist Pursuant to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, as Amended

    Acting under the authority of and in accordance with section 1(b) 
of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended by Executive 
Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, and Executive Order 13284 of January 23, 
2003, I hereby determine that the organization known as Abdallah Azzam 
Brigades, and also known as Abdullah Azzam Brigades, also known as 
Ziyad al-Jarrah Battalions of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, also known 
as Yusuf al-'Uyayri Battalions of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, 
committed, or poses 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,'' I 
determine that no prior notice needs to 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.

    Dated: May 3, 2012.
Thomas R. Nides,
Deputy Secretary of State.
