To designate an organization, the United States government (USG) only needs to have a "reasonable suspicion" that it is providing "financial, material, or technological support for, or financial or other services to" a designated terrorist organization or "otherwise associate[ing]" with a designated organization. Consequences of designation include the seizing and freezing of all tangible and financial assets and significant civil and criminal penalties. Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State. As of September 2012:
