     ``SUBCHAPTER II--HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM

``Sec. 1021. High intensity drug trafficking areas program
    ``(a) Establishment.--
            ``(1) In general.--There is established in the Office a 
        program to be known as the High Intensity Drug Trafficking 
        Areas Program (in this section referred to as the `Program').
            ``(2) Purpose.--The purpose of the Program is to reduce 
        drug trafficking and drug production in the United States by--
                    ``(A) facilitating cooperation among Federal, 
                State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies to 
                share information and implement coordinated enforcement 
                activities;
                    ``(B) enhancing law enforcement intelligence 
                sharing among Federal, State, local, and Tribal law 
                enforcement agencies;
                    ``(C) providing reliable law enforcement 
                intelligence to law enforcement agencies needed to 
                design effective enforcement strategies and operations; 
                and
                    ``(D) supporting coordinated law enforcement 
                strategies which maximize use of available resources to 
                reduce the supply of illegal drugs in designated areas 
                and in the United States as a whole.
    ``(b) Designation.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Director, in consultation with the 
        Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary 
        of Homeland Security, heads of the National Drug Control 
        Program Agencies, and the Governor of each applicable State, 
        may designate any specified area of the United States as a high 
        intensity drug trafficking area.
            ``(2) Activities.--After making a designation under 
        paragraph (1) and in order to provide Federal assistance to the 
        area so designated, the Director may--
                    ``(A) obligate such sums as are appropriated for 
                the Program;
                    ``(B) direct the temporary reassignment of Federal 
                personnel to such area, subject to the approval of the 
                head of the agency that employs such personnel;
                    ``(C) take any other action authorized under this 
                chapter to provide increased Federal assistance to 
                those areas; and
                    ``(D) coordinate activities under this section 
                (specifically administrative, recordkeeping, and funds 
                management activities) with State, local, and Tribal 
                officials.
    ``(c) Petitions for Designation.--The Director shall establish and 
maintain regulations under which a coalition of interested law 
enforcement agencies from an area may petition for designation as a 
high intensity drug trafficking area (in this section referred to as 
the `HIDTA'). Such regulations shall provide for a regular review by 
the Director of the petition, including a recommendation regarding the 
merit of the petition to the Director by a panel of qualified, 
independent experts.
    ``(d) Factors for Consideration.--In considering whether to 
designate an area under this section as a high intensity drug 
trafficking area, the Director shall consider, in addition to such 
other criteria as the Director considers to be appropriate, the extent 
to which--
            ``(1) the area is a significant center of illegal drug 
        production, manufacturing, importation, or distribution;
            ``(2) State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies 
        have committed resources to respond to the drug trafficking 
        problem in the area, thereby indicating a determination to 
        respond aggressively to the problem;
            ``(3) drug-related activities in the area are having a 
        significant harmful impact in the area, and in other areas of 
        the country; and
            ``(4) a significant increase in allocation of Federal 
        resources is necessary to respond adequately to drug-related 
        activities in the area.
    ``(e) Organization of High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas.--
            ``(1) Executive board and officers.--To be eligible for 
        funds appropriated under this section, each high intensity drug 
        trafficking area shall be governed by an Executive Board. The 
        Executive Board shall designate a chairman, vice chairman, and 
        any other officers to the Executive Board that it determines 
        are necessary.
            ``(2) Responsibilities.--The Executive Board of a high 
        intensity drug trafficking area shall be responsible for--
                    ``(A) providing direction and oversight in 
                establishing and achieving the goals of the high 
                intensity drug trafficking area;
                    ``(B) managing the funds of the high intensity drug 
                trafficking area;
                    ``(C) reviewing and approving all funding proposals 
                consistent with the overall objective of the high 
                intensity drug trafficking area; and
                    ``(D) reviewing and approving all reports to the 
                Director on the activities of the high intensity drug 
                trafficking area.
            ``(3) Board representation.--None of the funds appropriated 
        under this section may be expended for any high intensity drug 
        trafficking area, or for a partnership or region of a high 
        intensity drug trafficking area, if the Executive Board for 
        such area, region, or partnership, does not apportion an equal 
        number of votes between representatives of participating 
        agencies and representatives of participating State, local, and 
        Tribal agencies. Where it is impractical for an equal number of 
        representatives of agencies and State, local, and Tribal 
        agencies to attend a meeting of an Executive Board in person, 
        the Executive Board may use a system of proxy votes or weighted 
        votes to achieve the voting balance required by this paragraph.
            ``(4) No agency relationship.--The eligibility requirements 
        of this section are intended to ensure the responsible use of 
        Federal funds. Nothing in this section is intended to create an 
        agency relationship between individual high intensity drug 
        trafficking areas and the Federal Government.
    ``(f) Use of Funds.--The Director shall ensure that not more than 5 
percent of Federal funds appropriated for the Program are expended for 
drug treatment programs and not more than 5 percent of the Federal 
funds appropriated for the Program are expended for drug prevention 
programs.
    ``(g) Counterterrorism Activities.--
            ``(1) Assistance authorized.--The Director may authorize 
        use of resources available for the Program to assist Federal, 
        State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies in 
        investigations and activities related to terrorism and 
        prevention of terrorism, especially but not exclusively with 
        respect to such investigations and activities that are also 
        related to drug trafficking.
            ``(2) Limitation.--The Director shall ensure--
                    ``(A) that assistance provided under paragraph (1) 
                remains incidental to the purpose of the Program to 
                reduce drug availability and carry out drug-related law 
                enforcement activities; and
                    ``(B) that significant resources of the Program are 
                not redirected to activities exclusively related to 
                terrorism, except on a temporary basis under 
                extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the 
                Director.
    ``(h) Role of Drug Enforcement Administration.--The Director, in 
consultation with the Attorney General, shall ensure that a 
representative of the Drug Enforcement Administration is included in 
the Intelligence Support Center for each high intensity drug 
trafficking area.
    ``(i) Emerging Threat Response Fund.--
            ``(1) In general.--Subject to the availability of 
        appropriations, the Director may expend up to 10 percent of the 
        amounts appropriated under this section on a discretionary 
        basis, in accordance with the criteria established under 
        paragraph (2)--
                    ``(A) to respond to any emerging drug trafficking 
                threat in an existing high intensity drug trafficking 
                area;
                    ``(B) to establish a new high intensity drug 
                trafficking area; or
