Notice published on Feb. 20 by State Department

The US State Department published a one page notice on Feb. 20, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on In the Matter of the Amended Designations of Salafist Group for Call and Combat a.k.a. GSPC a.k.a. Le Groupe Salafiste Pour La Predication Et Le Combat a.k.a. Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization Pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Pursuant to Section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224.

The State Department is responsibly for international relations with a budget of more than $50 billion. Tenure at the State Dept. is increasingly tenuous and it's seen as an extension of the President's will, ambitions and flaws.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
