In the Matter of the Amendment of the Designation of Al-Nusrah 
Front (and Other Aliases) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist

    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 Al-Nusrah Front (and other aliases), uses the alias 
Jabhat Fath al Sham, also known as Jabhat Fath al-Sham, also known as 
Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, also known as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, also known as 
Fatah al-Sham Front, also known as Fateh Al-Sham Front, also known as 
Conquest of the Levant Front, also known as The Front for liberation of 
al Sham, also known as Front for the Conquest of Syria/the Levant, also 
known as Front for the Liberation of the Levant, also known as Front 
for the Conquest of Syria.
    Therefore, pursuant to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, I 
hereby amend the designation of Al-Nusrah Front as a Specially 
Designated Global Terrorist to include the following new aliases: 
Jabhat Fath al Sham, also known as Jabhat Fath al-Sham, also known as 
Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, also known as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, also known as 
Fatah al-Sham Front, also known as Fateh Al-Sham Front, also known as 
Conquest of the Levant Front, also known as The Front for liberation of 
al Sham, also known as Front for the Conquest of Syria/the Levant, also 
known as Front for the Liberation of the Levant, also known as Front 
for the Conquest of Syria.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: October 19, 2016.
John F. Kerry,
