DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 9460]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of Al-Qa'ida in 
the Arabian Peninsula (and Other Aliases) 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) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(a)(4)(C)) (``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 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.
    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: February 25, 2016.
John F. Kerry,
Secretary of State.
