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

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.
