Review of the Designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization of 
Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) (and Other Aliases)

    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. Sec.  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 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. Sec.  1189), shall be 
maintained.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: September 28, 2016.
John F. Kerry,
Secretary of State.
