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 entity known as Boko Haram, also 
known as Nigerian Taliban, also known as Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunnah 
Lidda'Awati Wal Jihad, also known as Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati 
wal-Jihad, also known as People Committed to the Prophet's Teachings

Jihad, 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: November 5, 2013.
John F. Kerry,
Secretary of State.
