[[Page 2242]]

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 Ansar al-Shari'a in Tunisia, also known as Al-Qayrawan 
Media Foundation, also known as Supporters of Islamic Law, also known 
as Ansar al-Sharia in Tunisia, also known as Ansar al-Shari'ah, also 
known as Ansar al-Shari'ah in Tunisia, also known as Ansar al-Sharia, 
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: December 31, 2013.
John F. Kerry,
Secretary of State.
