Expansion of Direct Referral of Cases to the Department of Justice

摘要

The directive provides guidance to EPA Headquarters and Regional personnel regarding procedures to follow in implementing the expanded direct referral agreement. Prior guidance on direct referrals appears in a November 28, 1983, memorandum entitiled, 'Implementation of Direct Referrals for Civil Cases Beginning December 1, 1983.' That guidance is superseded to the extent that the current guidance replaces or changes procedures set forth therein; otherwise the 1983 document remains in effect.
