SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ONDCP

hereby announces its policies and

application procedures for funds

available under Public Law 102–393 to

state and local drug control entities for

drug control activities consistent with

the approved strategy for each HIDTA.

Eligible Applicants

Public Law 100–690, Nov. 18, 1988,

authorized the Director of ONDCP to

designate areas meeting certain criteria

as HIDTAs. Houston, Los Angeles,

Miami, New York and the Southwest

Border were so designated as part of the

1990 National Drug Control Strategy. In

1994 Washington/Baltimore and Puerto

Rico/Virgin Islands were also

designated. Chicago, Atlanta and

Philadelphia/Camden were designated

Empowerment HIDTAs in 1995.

Federal, State and local law

enforcement agencies located within the

specific geographical areas outlined in

the National Drug Control Strategy are

eligible to apply for funds under this

notice.

Program Objective

The goal of the HIDTA program is to

reduce drug trafficking. The primary

objective is to severely disrupt and

dismantle drug and money laundering

organizations operating in and through

the HIDTAs. In concert with Federally

led HIDTA initiatives, State and local

proposals focus on joint local, State and

Federal law enforcement efforts that

target major drug organizations that

support the international organizations

and cartels. Funds must be used strictly

for implementing an approved joint

HIDTA strategy. The funds cannot be

used to supplant existing support for

ongoing State or local drug control

operations, which should be funded out

of the agencies’ normal operating

budgets.

Available Funds

At least $55.0 million is available for

State and local participation in the

HIDTAs.

Application Procedures

Each applicant must submit a written

joint proposal and cooperative

agreement application to the HIDTA

Director in the respective HIDTA. A

majority, if not all, of the transfers may

be in the form of cooperative

agreements. The proposals must include

a written statement of the purpose,

scope and measurable objective of the

initiative; a narrative of the

implementation plan; administrative

data including the name and address of

the official authorized to enter into the

cooperative agreement between the

agency and the U.S. Government; a

proposed detailed budget outlining how

the funds will be spent; and internal

controls which will ensure the funds are

spent for stated purposes. The proposals

and applications are first submitted to

and reviewed by the area Executive

Committee in the HIDTA and, upon

approval, forwarded for review by

National HIDTA Committee which

includes representatives of ONDCP, the

Departments of Justice, Treasury, and

Health and Human Services. Next, they

are submitted to the Director of ONDCP

for review, final approval, and transfer

of funds. The applicant may be required

to submit additional information

deemed necessary prior to approval of

the cooperative agreement.

Funding Mechanism and Restrictions

Upon receipt and approval of the

application, the applicant and the

government will execute cooperative

agreements specifying the mechanism

for receipt of funds and the conditions

attendant to initial and continued

receipt of the funds. The applicant will

be expected to comply with the

following conditions prior to the

expenditure of any of the funds: all

travel funded must be in accordance

with the published U.S. Government

travel regulations; all pertinent

information regarding the cooperative

agreement must be made available to the

public; applicable civil rights and antidiscrimination statutes must be adhered

to; accounting systems and records shall

be such that the Comptroller General of

the United States shall be able to audit

the uses of the funds. Other conditions

regarding expenditures of the funds and

applicant performance shall be specified

in the terms and conditions of the

cooperative agreement that must be

executed before any funds may be

received.

For any expenditure incurred prior to

execution of the cooperative agreement,

detailed transaction records must be

submitted along with evidence

supporting that the expenditures were

for the purposes stated in the

legislation. The ONDCP/HIDTA Director

will have to approve reimbursement for

these expenditures before they can be

considered eligible grant costs.

Director.

OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory

Committee, Open Committee Meeting

According to the provisions of section

10 of the Federal Advisory Committee

Act (Pub. L. 92–463), notice is hereby

given that meetings of the Federal

Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee

will be held on—

Thursday, January 4, 1996

Thursday, January 18, 1996

Thursday, February 8, 1996

Thursday, February 22, 1996

The meetings will start at 10:45 a.m.

and will be held in Room 5A06A, Office

of Personnel Management Building,

1900 E Street, NW., Washington, DC.

The Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory

Committee is composed of a Chairman,

five representatives from labor unions

holding exclusive bargaining rights for

Federal blue-collar employees, and five

representatives from Federal agencies.

Entitlement to membership on the

Committee is provided for in 5 U.S.C.

5347.

The Committee’s primary

responsibility is to review the Prevailing

Rate System and other matters pertinent

to establishing prevailing rates under

subchapter IV, chapter 53, 5 U.S.C., as

amended, and from time to time advise

the Office of Personnel Management.

These scheduled meetings will start

in open session with both labor and

management representatives attending.

During the meeting either the labor

members or the management members

may caucus separately with the

Chairman to devise strategy and

formulate positions. Premature

disclosure of the matters discussed in

these caucuses would unacceptably

impair the ability of the Committee to

reach a consensus on the matters being

considered and would disrupt

substantially the disposition of its

business. Therefore, these caucuses will

be closed to the public because of a

determination made by the Director of

the Office of Personnel Management

under the provisions of section 10(d) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(Pub. L. 92–463) and 5 U.S.C.

552b(c)(9)(B). These caucuses may,

depending on the issues involved,

constitute a substantial portion of the

meeting.

Annually, the Committee publishes

for the Office of Personnel Management,

the President, and Congress a

comprehensive report of pay issues

discussed, concluded recommendations,

and related activities. These reports are

available to the public, upon written

request to the Committee’s Secretary.

The public is invited to submit

material in writing to the Chairman on

Federal Wage System pay matters felt to

be deserving of the Committee’s

attention. Additional information on

these meetings may be obtained by

contacting the Committee’s Secretary,
