'''Federally Administered Tribal Areas''' ('''FATA''') was a [[Autonomous administrative division|semi-autonomous tribal region]] situated in north-western [[Pakistan]], which existed from 1947 until its merger with the neighbouring province of [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]] in 2018 through the [[Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan|Twenty-fifth amendment]] to [[Constitution of Pakistan|Pakistan's constitution]]. FATA comprised seven tribal agencies (functioning as districts) and six frontier regions, and was administered directly by the federal government through a special legal framework known as the [[Frontier Crimes Regulations]].<br />
<br />
On 24 May 2018, the [[National Assembly of Pakistan]] voted in favour of a constitutional amendment to merge FATA with [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]], which received [[Senate of Pakistan|Senate]] approval the following day. As this merger would affect the provincial boundaries of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the amendment was subsequently presented to and passed by the [[Provincial Assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly]] on 27 May 2018 with a majority vote. On 28 May 2018, the [[President of Pakistan]] signed the FATA Interim Governance Regulation, establishing interim administrative arrangements for FATA to govern the territory until its full integration with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa within a two-year timeframe. The [[Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan|25th Amendment]] received final assent from President [[Mamnoon Hussain]] on 31 May 2018, thereby officially merging FATA with [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]].<br />
