Title 21 › CHAPTER 22 — NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY › § 1704
Federal drug-control agencies must give the Director any statistics, studies, reports, or other information about drug control or how drug-control money is spent when the Director asks. Information that could reveal intelligence sources or methods must be handled under the National Security Act of 1947, and the Director of National Intelligence will write rules to protect it. The Director of National Intelligence and the CIA must help the Office as much as they reasonably can. Each year the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior must send a joint report by July 1 about illegal drug growing on federal lands. The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of Defense must each send, by July 1, yearly reports about drug seizures and air and maritime patrol hours for drug missions. The Attorney General must send, by July 1, yearly counts of arrests, prosecutions, and seizures and where they happened. Heads of drug-control agencies must tell the Director in writing before changing drug-control policies, unless an emergency prevents it; the Director will quickly review and say if the change fits the national strategy. The General Services Administration must give reimbursable support services if asked. Agencies must send a detailed, Inspector General–authenticated accounting of drug-control spending by February 1 each year; the Director sends that to Congress by April 1. The Director may award grants to nonprofits to train drug courts, with $2,000,000 authorized for each year 2018–2023. The Director, with HHS, must build a public electronic system to list all federal drug-control grants, results, and gaps; agencies must give and update their grant lists yearly. The Comptroller General must report to Congress on this system within 3 years after October 24, 2018.
