# In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of Real Irish Republican Army 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 in this matter, and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, I conclude that there is a sufficient factual basis to find that the circumstances that were the basis for the 2003 re-designation of the Real Irish Republican Army 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.
Therefore, I hereby determine that the designation of the Real Irish Republican Army as a foreign terrorist organization, pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be maintained.
This determination shall be published in the *Federal Register* .
Dated: August 11, 2008.
John D. Negroponte,
Deputy Secretary of State, Department of State.
