DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 10715]


In the Matter of the Review and Amendment of the Designation of 
ISIS (and Other Aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization Pursuant 
to the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Record assembled pursuant 
to Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 
U.S.C. 1189) (``INA''), and in consultation with the Attorney General 
and the Secretary of the Treasury, I conclude that the circumstances 
that were the basis for the designation of the aforementioned 
organization (and other aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization 
have not changed in such a manner as to warrant revocation of the 
designation, and that

[[Page 10882]]

the national security of the United States does not warrant a 
revocation of the designation. I also conclude that there is a 
sufficient factual basis to find that the aforementioned organization 
(and other aliases) uses the additional aliases: Amaq News Agency and 
Al Hayat Media Center, also known as Al-Hayat Media Center, also known 
as Al Hayat.
    Therefore, I hereby determine that the designation of the 
aforementioned organization (and other aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist 
Organization, pursuant to Section 219 of the INA, as amended (8 U.S.C. 
1189), shall be maintained. Additionally, pursuant to Section 219(b) of 
the INA, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189(b)), I hereby amend the designation 
of the aforementioned organization as a Foreign Terrorist Organization 
to include the following new aliases: Amaq News Agency and Al Hayat 
Media Center, also known as Al-Hayat Media Center, also known as Al 
Hayat.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: December 21, 2018.
Michael R. Pompeo,
Secretary of State.
