DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 8975]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of Palestinian 
Islamic Jihad 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 Palestinian Islamic 
Jihad.
    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.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: December 5, 2014.
 John F. Kerry,
 Secretary of State.
