These designations comprise 8 individuals and 29 organizations determined to meet the criteria set forth under subsection 1(b) of Executive Order 13224. DATES: These determinations were made by the Secretary of State on October 12, 2001, October 31, 2001, December 18, 2001, and December 31, 2001, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and Attorney General.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On September 23, 2001, President Bush issued Executive Order 13224 (the "Order") imposing economic sanctions on persons (defined as including individuals or entities) who, inter alia, commit, threaten to commit, or support certain acts of terrorism. In an annex to the Order, President Bush identified 12 individuals and 15 entities whose assets are blocked pursuant to the Order (66 FR 49079, September 25, 2001). The property and interests in property of an additional 33 individuals and 6 entities were blocked pursuant to determinations by the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury (effective October 12, 2001), referenced in a Federal Register Notice published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (66 FR 54404, October 26, 2001). Further determinations made by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, on November 7, 2001, and December 4, 2001, December 20, 2001, January 9, 2002, February 26, and March 11 are addressed in a separate notice published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. Pursuant to subsection 1(b) of the Order, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General, has determined to date that 8 foreign individuals and 29 foreign organizations have been determined to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States. The Secretary of State's determination that each of these individuals and organizations meets the criteria set forth under subsection 1(b) of the Order subjects each of these individuals and organizations to sanctions. 23 of the organizations determined on October 31, 2001 and December 18, 2001 to meet the criteria set forth under subsection 1(b) of the Order are also subject to sanctions imposed pursuant to their designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, 8 U.S.C. 1189. Pursuant to the determination made by the Secretary of State under subsection 1(b) of the Order, all property and interests in property of any listed person that are in the United States, that come within the United States, or that come within the possession or control of United States persons, including their overseas branches, are blocked. All transactions or dealings by U.S. persons or within the United States in property or interests in property of any listed person are prohibited unless licensed by the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control or exempted by statute. The determinations of the Secretary of State were effective on October 12, 2001, October 31, 2001, December 18, 2001, and December 31, 2001. In Section 10 of the Order, the President determined that because of the ability to transfer funds or assets instantaneously, prior notice to persons listed in the Annex to, or 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. The President therefore determined that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in the Order, no prior notification of a listing or determination pursuant to the Order need be provided to any person who might have a constitutional presence in the United States. The property and interests of property of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, [[Page 12634]] withdrawn or otherwise dealt in except as authorized by regulations, orders, directives, rulings, instructions, licenses or otherwise: Designations by the Secretary of State on October 12, 2001 ADBELKARIM HUSSEIN MOHAMMED AL-NASSER AHMAD IBRAHIM AL-MUGHASSIL ALI SAED BIN ALI EL-HOORIE IBRAHIM SALIH MOHAMMED AL-YACOUB ALI ATWA HASAN IZZ-AL-DIN IMAD FAYEZ MUGNIYAH KHALID SHAIKH MOHAMMED Designations by the Secretary of State on October 31, 2001 ABU NIDAL ORGANIZATION a.k.a.
