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) is also known as 
Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, also known as Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham, also known 
as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, also known as HTS, also known as Assembly for 
the Liberation of Syria, also known as Assembly for Liberation of the 
Levant, also known as Liberation of al-Sham Commission, also known as 
Liberation of the Levant Organisation,

also known as Tahrir al-Sham, also known as Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at.
    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: 
Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, also known as Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham, also known 
as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, also known as HTS, also known as Assembly for 
the Liberation of Syria, also known as Assembly for the Liberation of 
the Levant, also known as Liberation of al-Sham Commission, also known 
as Liberation of the Levant Organisation, also known as Tahrir al-Sham, 
also known as Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: May 17, 2018.
