Therefore, pursuant to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, I hereby amend the designation of al-Qa’ida in Iraq as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist to include the following new aliases: the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as Islamic State of Iraq and alSham, also known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ad-Dawla al-Islamiyya fi al-’Iraq wa-sh-Sham, also known as Daesh, also known as Dawla al Islamiya, also known as Al-Furqan Establishment for Media Production; and remove the following aliases: AlNusrah Front, also known as Jabhat alNusrah, also known as Jabhet al-Nusra, also known as The Victory Front, also known as Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant. This determination shall be published in the Federal Register. Dated: May 7, 2014. John F.

Consistent with the determination in section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that ‘‘prior notice to persons determined to be subject to the Order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States would render ineffectual the blocking and other measures authorized in the Order because of the ability to transfer funds instantaneously,’’ I determine that no prior notice needs to be provided to any person subject to this determination who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, because to do so would render ineffectual the measures authorized in the Order. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register. Dated: May 7, 2014. John F. Kerry, Secretary of State. [FR Doc. 2014–11212 Filed 5–14–14; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4710–10–P Dawn D.

The Annex to Executive Order 13288 included 77 individuals, including two of the nine individuals identified in this notice, which resulted in the blocking of all property and interests in property of these individuals that was or thereafter came within the United States or the possession or control of U.S. persons.

Background

    On March 6, 2003, the President, invoking the authority of, inter 
alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-
06) (``IEEPA'') issued Executive Order 13288 (68 FR 11457, March 10, 
2003). In Executive Order 13288, the President declared a national 
emergency to deal with the threat posed by the actions and policies of 
certain members of the Government of Zimbabwe and other persons to 
undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes or institutions, contributing 
to the deliberate breakdown in the rule of law in Zimbabwe, to 
politically motivated violence and intimidation in that country, and to 
political and economic instability in the southern African region. The 
Annex to Executive Order 13288 included 77 individuals, including two 
of the nine individuals identified in this notice, which resulted in 
the blocking of all property and interests in property of these 
individuals that was or thereafter came within the United States or the 
possession or control of U.S. persons. Executive Order 13288 also 
authorized the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, to designate additional persons determined to meet 
the criteria set forth in Executive Order 13288.
    On November 22, 2005, in order to take additional steps with 
respect to the continued actions and policies of certain persons who 
undermine Zimbabwe's democratic processes and with respect to the 
national emergency described and declared in Executive Order 13288, the 
President, invoking the authority of, inter alia, IEEPA, issued 
Executive Order 13391 (70 FR 71201, November 25, 2005). Executive Order 
13391 amends Executive Order 13288 and provides that the Annex to 
Executive Order 13288 is replaced and superseded in its entirety by the 
Annex to Executive Order 13391, containing the names of 128 individuals 
and 33 entities, including the eight of the nine individuals identified 
in this notice. Executive Order 13288, as amended by Executive Order 
13391, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with 
the Secretary of State, to block the property and interests in property 
of additional categories of persons beyond the category set forth in 
Executive Order 13288 prior to its amendment.
    Executive Order 13288, as amended by Executive Order 13991, also 
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, to determine that circumstances no longer warrant 
the inclusion of a person in the Annex to Executive Order 13288, as 
replaced and superseded by the Annex to Executive Order 13991, and to 
unblock any property and interests in property that had been blocked as 
a result of the person's inclusion in the Annex.
    On April 17, 2014, the Acting Director of OFAC, in consultation 
with the State Department, determined that circumstances no longer 
warrant the inclusion of the individuals identified below in the Annex 
to E.O. 13288, as replaced and superseded by the Annex to E.O. 13391, 
and, accordingly, unblocked their property and interests in property 
and removed them from the SDN List.
