[Public Notice 7965]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of the Islamic 
Resistance Movement (Hamas and Other Aliases)

    As a Foreign Terrorist Organization pursuant to Section 219 of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended
    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 2008 determination to 
maintain the 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.
    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.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: July 18, 2012.
Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Secretary of State, Department of State.
