DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 12113]


Review and Amendment of the Designations of ISIL-Libya and Real 
IRA (and Other Aliases) as Foreign Terrorist Organizations

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Records 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 designations of the 
aforementioned organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations have 
not changed in such a manner as to warrant revocation of the 
designations and that the national security of the United States does 
not warrant a revocation of the designations. I also conclude that 
there is a sufficient factual basis to find that ISIL-Libya (and other 
aliases) uses the additional alias Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham 
in Libya (also known as ISIS-Libya and ISIS-L); and that there is a 
sufficient factual basis to find that Real IRA (and other aliases) uses 
the additional alias New Irish Republican Army (also known as New IRA, 
NIRA, and IRA Army Council).
    Therefore, I hereby determine that the designations of the 
aforementioned organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, 
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 ISIL-
Libya (and other aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization to 
include the following new aliases: Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham 
in Libya, ISIS-Libya, ISIS-L; and amend the designation of Real IRA 
(and other aliases) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization to include the 
following new aliases: New Irish Republican Army, New IRA, NIRA, and 
IRA Army Council.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: June 5, 2023.
Antony J. Blinken,
Secretary of State.
