DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 8812]


In the Matter of the Review and Amendment of the Designation of 
Harakat ul-Mujahidin; aka Harakat ul-Mujahideen; aka Harakat ul-Ansar; 
aka Jamiat ul-Ansar; aka HUA; aka HUM; aka al-Hadid; aka al-Hadith; aka 
al-Faran; as a Foreign Terrorist Organization Pursuant to Section 219 
of the Immigration and Nationality Act

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Record assembled in this 
matter pursuant to Section 219(a)(4)(C) and (b) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)(C), (b)) (``INA''), 
and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the 
Treasury, the Secretary of State concludes that the circumstances that 
were the basis for the 2008 decision to maintain the designation of the 
aforementioned organization as a foreign terrorist organization have 
not changed in such a manner as to warrant revocation of the 
designation and that the national security of the United States does 
not

warrant a revocation of the designation of Harakat ul-Mujahidin, and 
that there is a sufficient factual basis to find that Harakat ul-
Mujahidin, also known under the aliases listed above, uses or has used 
additional aliases, namely, Ansar ul-Ummah.
    Therefore, the Secretary of State hereby determines that the 
designation of the aforementioned organization as a foreign terrorist 
organization, pursuant to Section 219 of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall 
be maintained. In addition, effective upon the date of publication in 
the Federal Register, the Secretary of State hereby amends the 2008 
review of Harakat ul-Mujahidin as a foreign terrorist organization, 
pursuant to Sec.  219(b) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189(b)), to include the 
following new alias and other possible transliterations thereof:

Ansar ul-Ummah

    Dated: July 23, 2014.
