DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 8154]


The Designation of Michel Samaha, AKA Saadah al-Naib Mishal Fuad 
Samahah, AKA Mishal Fuad Samahah, 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 individual known as Michel Samaha, 
AKA Saadah al-Naib Mishal Fuad Samahah, AKA Mishal Fuad Samahah 
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: January 8, 2013.
William J. Burns,
Deputy Secretary of State.
