EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE

PRESIDENT

Office of National Drug Control Policy

Designation of High Intensity Drug

Trafficking Areas

AGENCY: Office of National Drug Control

Policy, Executive Office of the

President.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice lists two (2) new

High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas

designated by the Director of the Office

of National Drug Control Policy.

HIDTAs are domestic regions identified

as having the most critical drug

trafficking problems that adversely

affect the United States. These new

HIDTAs are designated pursuant to 21

U.S.C. 1504(c), as amended, to promote

more effective coordination of drug

control efforts. The additional resources

provided by Congress enable task forces

of local, State and Federal officials to

assess regional drug threats, design

strategies to combat the threats, develop

initiatives to implement the strategies,

and evaluate the effectiveness of these

coordinated efforts.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Comments and questions regarding this

notice should be directed to Mr. Richard

Y. Yamamoto, Director, HIDTA, Office
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 184 / Tuesday, September 23, 1997 / Notices 49685

of National Drug Control Policy,

Executive Office of the President,

Washington, D.C. 20503; 202–395–6755.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1990,

the Director of ONDCP designated the

first five HIDTAs. These original

HIDTAs, areas through which most

illegal drugs enter the United States, are

the Southwest Border, Houston, Los

Angeles, New York/New Jersey, and

South Florida. In 1994, the Director

designated the Washington/Baltimore

HIDTA to address the extensive drug

distribution networks serving hardcore

drug users. Also in 1994, the Director

designated Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin

Islands as a HIDTA based on the

significant amount of drugs entering the

United States through this region. In

1995, the Director designated three more

HIDTAs in Atlanta, Chicago, and

Philadelphia/Camden to target drug

abuse and drug trafficking in those

areas.

Five additional HIDTAs were

designated on December 20, 1996. These

are: the Gulf Coast HIDTA (includes

parts of Alabama, Louisiana, and

Mississippi); the Lake County, Indiana

HIDTA, the Midwest HIDTA (includes

parts of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri,

Nebraska, and South Dakota, with focus

on methamphetamine); the Northwest

HIDTA (includes seven counties of

Washington State); and the Rocky

Mountain HIDTA (includes parts of

Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming).

The program supports more than 160

collocated officer/agent task forces;

strengthens mutually supporting local,

State, and Federal drug trafficking and

money laundering task forces; bolsters

information analysis and sharing

networks; and, improves integration of

law enforcement, drug treatment and

drug abuse prevention programs. The

states and counties included in the two

new HIDTAs are:

(1) Southeastern Michigan—The

following Michigan counties: Wayne,

Oakland, Macomb, and Washtenaw.

(2) San Francisco Bay Area—The

following California counties: Alameda,

Contra Costa, Lake, Marin, Monterey,

San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara,

Santa Cruz, and Sonoma.

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 10th day

of September, 1997.

Director.
