DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 11301]


Review and Amendment of the Designation of ISIL-Sinai Province 
(and Other Aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Record assembled 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, 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 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 following are 
additional aliases of the aforementioned organization (and other 
aliases): ISIS-Sinai Province, Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham--
Sinai Province, Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham--Sinai Province, 
ISIS-SP, and Wilayat Sayna.
    Therefore, I hereby determine 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. 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 (and other aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist 
Organization to include the following new aliases: ISIS-Sinai Province, 
Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham--Sinai Province, Islamic State of 
Iraq and the Sham--Sinai Province, ISIS-SP, and Wilayat Sayna.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: December 22, 2020.
Michael R. Pompeo,
Secretary of State.
