VIII. Other Information
The Public Health Service strongly
encourages all cooperative agreement
and contract recipients to provide a
smoke-free workplace and promote the
non-use of all tobacco products. In
addition, Public Law 103–227, the ProChildren Act of 1994, prohibits smoking
in certain facilities (or in some cases,
any portion of the facility) in which
regular or routine education, library,
day care, health care, or early childhood
development services are provided to
children. This is consistent with the
HHS mission to protect and advance the
physical and mental health of the
American people.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
The authority for this notice is 5
U.S.C. 552(a) (‘‘Administrative
Procedure Act’’), 46 U.S.C. 70110
(‘‘Maritime Transportation Security
Act’’), and Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1(II)(97.f).
As delegated, section 70110(a)
authorizes the Coast Guard to impose
conditions of entry on vessels arriving
in U.S. waters from ports that the Coast
Guard has not found to maintain
effective anti-terrorism measures.
On May 3, 2016 the Coast Guard
found that ports in the Federated States
of Micronesia failed to maintain
effective anti-terrorism measures and
that the Federated States of Microneisa’s
designated authority oversight, access
control, security monitoring, security
training programs, and security plans
drills and exercises are all deficient.
On July 7, 2016, as required by 46
U.S.C. 70109, the Federated States of
Micronesia was notified of this
determination and given
recommendations for improving
antiterrorism measures and 90 days to
respond. To date, we cannot confirm
that the Federated States of Micronesia
has corrected the identified deficiencies.
Accordingly, beginning September 5,
2017, the conditions of entry shown in
Table 1 will apply to any vessel that
visited a port in the Federated States of
Micronesia in its last five port calls.

Each vessel must:
Implement measures per the vessel’s security plan equivalent to Security Level 2 while in a port in the Federated States of Micronesia.
As defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated herein, ‘‘Security Level 2’’ refers to the ‘‘level for which appropriate additional protective security measures shall be maintained for a period of time as a result of heightened risk of a security incident.’’
Ensure that each access point to the vessel is guarded and that the guards have total visibility of the exterior (both landside and waterside) of the vessel while the vessel is in ports in the Federated States of Micronesia.

Guards may be provided by the vessel’s crew; however, additional crewmembers should be placed on the vessel if necessary to ensure
that limits on maximum hours of work are not exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest are met, or provided by outside security forces
approved by the vessel’s master and Company Security Officer. As defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated herein, ‘‘Company
Security Officer’’ refers to the ‘‘person designated by the Company for ensuring that a ship security assessment is carried out; that a
ship security plan is developed, submitted for approval, and thereafter implemented and maintained and for liaison with port facility
security officers and the ship security officer.’’
Attempt to execute a Declaration of Security while in a port in the Federated States of Micronesia.
Log all security actions in the vessel’s security records.
Report actions taken to the cognizant Coast Guard Captain of the Port (COTP) prior to arrival into U.S. waters.
In addition, based on the findings of the Coast Guard boarding or examination, the vessel may be required to ensure that each access
point to the vessel is guarded by armed, private security guards and that they have total visibility of the exterior (both landside and
waterside) of the vessel while in U.S. ports. The number and position of the guards has to be acceptable to the cognizant COTP prior
to the vessel’s arrival.
The following countries currently do
not maintain effective anti-terrorism
measures and are therefore subject to
conditions of entry: Cambodia,
Cameroon, Comoros, Cote d’Ivoire,
Equatorial Guinea, the Federated States
of Micronesia, the Republic of the
Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Liberia,
Libya, Madagascar, Nauru, Nigeria, Sao
Tome and Principe, Syria, Timor-Leste,
Venezuela, and Yemen. This list is also
