You're welcome. I'm on their e-mail distribution list, but most of what they send is drivel: I found most recent release when I was researching something else. With it I was able to search backward with some success, but I do not think they publish them with any consistency...

Thank you, Reads Regs. I learned some things just by drilling down on a couple areas.

There may be a news release pending for designations of new HIDTA counties (14 counties in 10 states). In trying to help a client find an updated list, I found very recent local stories on new counties in: WV and TN and NY and VA Curiously (actually consistently) there is no comprehensive press release on the ONDCP web site. As hungry for press coverage as this agency obviously is, you would think they would have figured out by now that their press releases should be sent first to the state bankers associations who would publicize the change widely. If you find nothing on the ONDCP web site, check your congressional representatives' web sites. They always quick to claim the credit.

Aha! I mentioned that I knew there were additions to the list at Top Gun and expressed my frustration at not being able to find them and an attendee sent me this link. Bless you!

Marion County Indiana (Indy) has been designated a HIDTA. Apparently, the White House Drug Policy web site is maintaining its tradition of not issuing a timely press release. Here's a local news story. A HIDTA official confirmed to me that such announcements are normally made in January, but Marion county's application was not finalized at that time. The video attached to the story is a testament to the number of agencies involved in these efforts.

HIDTA counties added in October, 2016. I don't care what the date is on the press release, it was not on the web site when I put up the post about Marion County, Indiana.

Has anyone come across an accurate list of zip codes that are listed in each county located in a HIDTA/HIFCA?

FinCEN supposedly has one, but the only other source I've heard of is vendors who want to sell it to you. I'm not going to pimp for them, but a Google search [HIDTA zip codes] will turn them up. Anyone can look up zip codes by county. Assuming you could identify all counties and, thus, zip codes in your defined market, what are you looking to identify, just outliers?

We are in the process of automating our risk rating process. I talked with the vendor to see if scoring could involve HIDTA/HIFCA and their response was if I have the zip code that is "higher risk" the can assign a value to it. I was trying to find a list of zip codes in our market area of the HIDTA from a reliable source, and hadn't found any (by reliable I mean one I've heard of). Thanks for the link Ken.

Thank you. I find some irony in the fact that a customer located in a HIDTA or HIFCA could be rated as a bit higher risk for money laundering because of their zip code. Any county with a HIDTA designation actually applied for the label. I assure you that its Congressional Representatives touted their role in the achievement on their web sites! The true effect of earning one of those acronyms is that those counties get a significant infusion of federal funds to fight the "war on drugs." A HIDTA county doesn't necessarily have a worse drug problem than those that surround it, it just has more money to fight the problem. Regardless of the level of irony, you are using what is thought to be conventional wisdom; in your shoes I would do the same thing.

We were already factoring that into our risk assessment at account opening - but I agree with you, just because a cusotmer lives in one of these areas doesn't mean they should be higher risk. If it was up to me we would drop that part all together.

2017 HIDTA Map I don't know when it was actually published, but assure you it was not on the date it shows, February, 2017. It did not see the light of day in March, April, or May either. (The one shown on the White House Drug Policy website is still from 2016.)

HIDTA Counties added in September 2017 I've ranted and railed at the ONDCP's sloth in publishing these lists. Only this morning, working on a presentation, did it occur to me they were published in the Federal Register. Based on prior experience, there will be a press release on the ONDCP web site and it will be back dated, but it's not there today.
