§ 267. Quarantine stations, grounds, and anchorages
(a) Control and management
Except as provided in title II of the Act of June 15, 1917, as amended (50 U.S.C. 191 et
seq.), the Surgeon General shall control, direct, and manage all United States quarantine
stations, grounds, and anchorages, designate their boundaries, and designate the quarantine
officers to be in charge thereof. With the approval of the President he shall from time to time
select suitable sites for and establish such additional stations, grounds, and anchorages in the
States and possessions of the United States as in his judgment are necessary to prevent the
introduction of communicable diseases into the States and possessions of the United States.
(b) Hours of inspection
The Surgeon General shall establish the hours during which quarantine service shall be
performed at each quarantine station, and, upon application by any interested party, may
establish quarantine inspection during the twenty-four hours of the day, or any fraction
thereof, at such quarantine stations as, in his opinion, require such extended service. He may
restrict the performance of quarantine inspection to hours of daylight for such arriving vessels
as cannot, in his opinion, be satisfactorily inspected during hours of darkness. No vessel shall
be required to undergo quarantine inspection during the hours of darkness, unless the
quarantine officer at such quarantine station shall deem an immediate inspection necessary to
protect the public health. Uniformity shall not be required in the hours during which quarantine
inspection may be obtained at the various ports of the United States.
