18 U.S.C. § 13 — Laws of States adopted for areas within Federal jurisdiction

This section borrows state criminal law for places under federal jurisdiction. (a) Someone in a place covered by section 7 of this title, or on, above, or below any part of the U.S. territorial sea not within any state's, territory's, or district's jurisdiction, who does something (or fails to do something) that is not already a crime under federal law, but would be a crime under the surrounding state's, territory's, possession's, or district's law if it happened there, is guilty of the same offense and faces the same punishment. (b)(1) For purposes of (a), any punishment a state, territory, possession, or district could impose — through a court or an administrative agency — for a conviction of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol counts as a punishment provided by that law. Any driving-privilege limit imposed this way applies only within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. (2)(A) On top of any prison term for driving under the influence under the surrounding law, this section adds extra prison time — up to one year, or up to five years if a minor is seriously injured, or up to ten years if a minor dies — plus an extra fine, or both, if (i) a minor other than the offender was in the vehicle when the offense happened, and (ii) the surrounding state's, territory's, possession's, or district's law does not already add extra prison time for that situation. (B) "Minor" here means someone under 18 years old. (c) Whenever part of the U.S. territorial sea lies outside any state's, commonwealth's, territory's, possession's, or district's own territory, that water — along with the airspace above it, the seabed and subsoil below it, and any artificial islands or fixed structures on it — is treated, for purposes of (a), as being within whichever area's borders would reach it if those borders were extended seaward to the outer edge of the U.S. territorial sea.
