    Based upon a review of the Administrative Record assembled in this 
matter 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, the Secretary of State concludes that the circumstances that 
were the basis for the 2004 designation of the aforementioned 
organization 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, and that there is a sufficient factual basis to find 
that al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula, also known under the aliases 
listed above, uses or has used an additional alias, namely, Ansar al-
Shari'a.
    Therefore, the Secretary of State hereby determines that the 
designation of the aforementioned organization as a foreign terrorist

be maintained, and in addition, effective upon the date of publication 
in the Federal Register, the Secretary of State hereby amends the 2010

1189(b)), to include the following new alias and other possible
