**(a) In general** The following security requirements shall apply with respect to United States diplomatic facilities and specified personnel: (1) **Threat assessment** (A) *Emergency Action Plan* — The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) of each United States mission shall address a range of threats, including that of large explosive attacks from vehicles and from complex attacks (as such term is defined in [section 4866 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title22-section4866&num=0&edition=prelim)), and the safety of employees during such an explosive attack or such a complex attack. Such plan shall be reviewed and updated annually. (B) *Security Environment Threat List* — The Security Environment Threat List shall contain a section that addresses potential acts of international terrorism against United States diplomatic facilities based on threat identification criteria that emphasize the threat of transnational terrorism and include the local security environment, host government support, and other relevant factors such as cultural realities. Such plan shall be reviewed and updated every six months. (2) **Site selection** (A) *In general* — In selecting a site for any new United States diplomatic facility abroad in a location that has certain minimum ratings under the Security Environment Threat List as determined by the Secretary in his or her discretion, the Secretary shall ensure that all United States Government personnel at the post (except those under the command of an area military commander, personnel of the Peace Corps, and personnel of any other type or category of facility that the Secretary may identify) will be located on the site.

22 U.S.C. § 4801 — Findings and purposes

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds and declares that— (1) the United States has a crucial stake in the presence of United States Government personnel representing United States interests abroad; (2) conditions confronting United States Government personnel and missions abroad are fraught with security concerns which will continue for the foreseeable future; and (3) the resources now available to counter acts of terrorism and protect and secure United States Government personnel and missions abroad, as well as foreign officials and missions in the United States, are inadequate to meet the mounting threat to such personnel and facilities. **(b) Purposes** The purposes of this chapter are— (1) to set forth the responsibility of the Secretary of State with respect to the security of diplomatic operations in the United States and abroad; (2) to maximize coordination by the Department of State with Federal, State, and local agencies and agencies of foreign governments in order to enhance security programs; (3) to promote strengthened security measures, institutionalize a culture of learning, and, in the case of apparent gross negligence or breach of duty, recommend that the Secretary investigate accountability for United States Government personnel with security-related responsibilities under chief of mission authority; (4) to support a culture of risk management, instead of risk avoidance, that enables the Department of State to pursue its vital goals with full knowledge that it is neither desirable nor possible for the Department to avoid all risks; (5) to set forth the responsibility of the Secretary of State with respect to the safe and efficient evacuation of United States Government personnel, their dependents, and private United States citizens when their liv
