[Public Notice: 9252]


In the Matter of the Review of the Designation of Revolutionary 
Struggle aka Epanastatikos Aghonas as a Foreign Terrorist Organization 
Pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as 
Amended

    Based upon a review of the Administrative Records assembled in 
these matters 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 
2009 decision to designate the aforementioned organization as a Foreign 
Terrorist Organization has 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 RS 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: August 26, 2015.
John F. Kerry,
Secretary of State.
