DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 11596]


Review and Amendment of the Designation of ISIL Khorasan (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))

[[Page 68295]]

(``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): The Islamic State of 
Iraq and ash-Sham--Khorasan Province, The Islamic State of Iraq and 
Syria--Khorasan, Islamic State of Iraq and Levant in Khorasan Province, 
Islamic State Khurasan, ISISK, ISIS-K, and IS-Khorasan.
    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: The Islamic State of 
Iraq and ash-Sham--Khorasan Province, The Islamic State of Iraq and 
Syria--Khorasan, Islamic State of Iraq and Levant in Khorasan Province, 
Islamic State Khurasan, ISISK, ISIS-K, and IS-Khorasan.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: August 9, 2021.
Antony J. Blinken,
Secretary of State.
