In the Matter of the Amendment of the Designation of Ansar Bayt 
al-Maqdis, Also Known as Ansar Jerusalem, Also Known as Supporters of 
Jerusalem, Also Known as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdes, Also Known as Ansar Beit 
al-Maqdis, Also Known as Jamaat Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, Also Known as 
Jamaat Ansar Beit al-Maqdis fi Sinaa, Also Known as Supporters of the 
Holy Place, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Pursuant to 
Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224

    Based upon a review of the administrative record assembled in this 
matter, and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary 
of the Treasury, I have concluded that there is a sufficient factual 
basis to find that Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, also known under the aliases 
listed above, uses the alias ISIL Sinai Province, also known as Islamic 
State-Sinai Province, also known as Wilayat Sinai, also known as Sinai 
Province, also known as The State of Sinai, also known as the Islamic 
State in the Sinai, as its primary name.
    Therefore, pursuant to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, I 
hereby amend the designation of Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis as a Specially 
Designated Global Terrorist to include the following new aliases: ISIL 
Sinai Province, also known as Islamic State-Sinai Province, also known 
as Wilayat Sinai, also known as Sinai Province, also known as The State 
of Sinai, also known as Islamic State in the Sinai, as additional 
aliases.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: September 22, 2015.
John F. Kerry,
Secretary of State.
