Limited access to medical and family support resources in Key West FL present unique challenges not normally faced in most CONUS Coast Guard assignments. 
2. Based on accessibility of healthcare services, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) and NAVPERSCOM Distribution Management Division (PERS-45) designated Key West Florida as a remote location requiring an overseas screening as per references E, F, and G.
3. In an effort to ensure a more complete screening of members and their dependents to determine the ability to live and be supported by the Coast Guard, Personnel Service Center provides the following updated guidance for assignment to Key West Florida.
   a. Members and dependents must be screened to determine their suitability for any assignment to a Sector Key West Florida unit. Commands will utilize the command checklist for OCONUS screening located in article 1.H. of reference A. to conduct this screening.  Additional guidance and updates to OCONUS screening requirements can be found in reference B and C.
   b. The designated Entry Approval Point for all assignments for Sector Key West Florida units will be Base Miami Beach, FL.
4. This guidance is intended for immediate use and will be included in forthcoming revised PSCINST 1300.1 publication.
