13.4—Requests for protection and advance notices of reimbursement requests.
(a)
In cases where they believe that an
extraordinary protective need exists, the State or
local governments may request that protection be
provided by the United States Secret Service
Uniformed Division; or they may give advance
notice of their intention to provide, on a
reimbursable basis, all or part of the protection
themselves.
(1)
Requests for protection or advance notices
of reimbursement requests shall be made to:
Assistant Secretary (Enforcement and Operations),
Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC 20220.
Each government requesting the protection
authorized pursuant to section 202 of Title 3,
U.S. Code, as amended by Pub. L. 94-196, or which
intends to seek reimbursement pursuant to section
208(a) of Title 3, U.S. Code and
§§ 13.6 and 13.7 of this part, shall submit an
application describing the extraordinary
protective need. Applications made pursuant to
this section shall be submitted to the Assistant
Secretary 14 days before the extraordinary
protective need arises. In association with a
visit, the application shall include the name and
title of the visiting foreign official or
dignitary, the country he represents, and the name
and location of the international organization or
mission he will be visting. The application shall
also include, if available, the temporary domicile
of the visiting official or dignitary and his
schedule, including dates and times of arrival and
departure from the United States. If the
extraordinary protective need occurs at a
permanent mission to an international organization
of which the United States is a member or an
observer mission invited to participate in the
work of such organization, or if another foreign
diplomatic mission of the country qualifies under
§ 13.3 (b) or (d), the application shall include
the name and location of the mission.
(b)
State and local governments shall also
indicate on the application whether they are
requesting the use of the United States Secret
Service Uniformed Division or whether they are
giving advance notice of their intention to
provide, on a reimbursable basis, all or part of
the protection themselves. In order to assist the
Assistant Secretary in determining whether to
utilize the United States Secret Service Uniformed
Division to meet all or part of the extraordinary
protective need, or to utilize, with their
consent, the services, personnel, equipment, and
facilities of the State or local government, or
both, the application must include an estimate of
the approximate number of personnel by grade and
rank, the services, equipment, and facilities
required, along with an estimate of the cost of
such personnel, services, equipment and
facilities. This application must be submitted in
a format consistent with that illustrated in
Appendix I of this part.
(1)
Upon receipt of a request for protection
pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of this section and
for the purposes of reimbursement pursuant to §§
13.6 and 13.7, the Assistant Secretary will
determine whether an extraordinary protective need
exists and whether the United States Secret
Service Uniformed Division will be used for all,
part or none of the protection. In making
determinations, the Assistant Secretary may
consult with appropriate Federal, State and local
government agencies.
