Sec. 13.3  Eligibility to receive protection or reimbursement.

    (a) Protection, as determined by the Assistant Secretary, will be 
provided by the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division, 
pursuant to section 202 of Title 3, U.S. Code, as amended by Pub. L. 94-
196, only to foreign diplomatic missions located in metropolitan areas 
(other than the District of Columbia) where there are located twenty or 
more such missions, as determined by the Secretary of State, which are 
headed by full time officers. According to present State Department 
figures, the following metropolitan areas have 20 or more such foreign 
diplomatic missions: Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York 
City, New Orleans and San Francisco. The protection provided by State or 
local governments rather than the United States Secret Service Uniformed 
Division will be reimbursed pursuant to section 208(a) of Title 3, U.S. 
Code and Secs. 13.6, 13.7 and 13.8 of this part.
    (b) Protection or reimbursement will be provided for the 
metropolitan areas described in paragraph (a) of this section only if:
    (1) The affected metropolitan area requests such protection or 
reimbursement;
    (2) The Assistant Secretary determines that an extraordinary 
protective need exists; and
    (3) The extraordinary need arises in association with a visit to or 
occurs at or, pursuant to Sec. 13.6, in the vicinity of: (i) A permanent 
mission to an international organization of which the United States is a 
member, (ii) an observer mission invited to participate in the work of 
an international organization of which the United States is a member, or 
(iii) in the case of a visit by a foreign official or dignitary to 
participate in an activity of an international organization of which the 
United States is a member, a foreign diplomatic mission, including a 
consular office of the same country as the visitor.
    (c) Protection (or reimbursement) may be extended at places of 
temporary domicile in connection with a visit under paragraph (b) of 
this section.
    (d) Where an extraordinary protective need exists, protection (or 
reimbursement) may be extended to missions as described in 
Secs. 13.3(b)(3) (i) and (ii) whether or not associated with a visit by 
a foreign dignitary.
