Removal of 5 Counties as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas

AGENCY: Office of National Drug Control Policy.

ACTION: Notice of removal of HIDTA county designation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy 
(ONDCP) removed 5 counties as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas 
(HIDTA) counties pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 1706, effective September 29, 
2014. The 5 counties removed from HIDTA county designation within the 
Appalachia HIDTA are (1) Cumberland and Clinton Counties in Kentucky; 
(2) Clay and White Counties in Tennessee; and (3) Mason County in West 
Virginia. The Executive Board of the Appalachia HIDTA requested removal 
of these counties from designation after assessing the threat and 
determining that these counties no longer met the statutory criteria 
necessary for designation as HIDTA counties. ONDCP evaluated and 
accepted the request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions regarding this notice should 
be directed to Michael K. Gottlieb, National HIDTA Program Director, 
Office of National Drug Control Policy, Executive Office of the 
President, Washington, DC 20503; (202) 395-4868.

    Dated: October 27, 2014.
