PARTIES
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by and between the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD). In the
alternative, FBI and SAPD may hereinafter be referred to cumulatively as the "Parties."
Nothing in this MOU should be construed as limiting or impeding the basic spirit of
cooperation which exists between these agencies.

Code (U.S.C.), Section (§) 533; 42 U.S.C. § 3771; Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations
(C.F.R.), § 0.85; and applicable United States Attorney General's Guidelines.
PURPOSE
3. The purpose of this MOU is to delineate the responsibilities of the Orange County Asian
Organized Crime Task Force (OCAOCTF) personnel, formalize relationships between
participating agencies for policy guidance, planning, training, public and media relations,
and maximize inter -agency cooperation. This MOU is not intended, and should not be
construed, to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or
otherwise by any third party against the Parties, the United States, or the officers,
employees, agents, or other associated personnel thereof.
MISSION
4. The mission of the OCAOCTF is to identify and target for prosecution criminal enterprise
groups responsible for drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking, gambling,
crimes of violence such as murder and aggravated assault, robbery, and violent street
gangs, as well as to intensely focus on the apprehension of dangerous fugitives where
there is or may be a federal investigative interest. The OCAOCTF will enhance the
effectiveness of federal/state/local law enforcement resources through a well -coordinated
initiative seeking the most effective investigative/prosecutive avenues by which to convict
and incarcerate dangerous offenders.
SUPERVISION AND CONTROL
A. Supervision
5. Overall management of the OCAOCTF shall be the shared responsibility of the
participating agency heads and/or their designees.
6. The Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI Los Angeles Division shall designate one
Supervisory Special Agent (OCAOCTF Supervisor) to supervise the OCAOCTF. The
OCAOCTF Supervisor may designate a Special Agent to serve as the OCAOCTF
Coordinator (Task Force Coordinator). Either the OCAOCTF Supervisor or the Task
Force Coordinator shall oversee day-to-day operational and investigative matters
pertaining to the OCAOCTF.
7. Conduct undertaken outside the scope of an individual's OCAOCTF duties and
assignments under this MOU shall not fall within the oversight responsibility of the
OCAOCTF Supervisor or Task Force Coordinator. As stated in paragraph 74, below,
neither the United States nor the FBI shall be responsible for such conduct.
8. OCAOCTF personnel will be subject to the laws, regulations, policies, and personnel
rules applicable to their respective agencies. FBI employees will continue to adhere to
the Bureau's ethical standards, including Department of Justice (DOJ)/FBI regulations
relating to outside employment and prepublication review matters, and will remain subject
to the Supplemental Standards of Ethical conduct for employees of the DOJ.
9. OCAOCTF personnel will continue to report to their respective agency heads for non -
investigative administrative matters not detailed in this MOU.
10. Continued assignment of personnel to the OCAOCTF will be based on performance and
at the discretion of appropriate management. The FBI SAC and OCAOCTF Supervisor
will also retain discretion to remove any individual from the OCAOCTF.

11. The FBI OCAOCTF Supervisor will be responsible for opening, monitoring, directing, and
closing OCAOCTF investigations in accordance with existing FBI policy and the
applicable United States Attorney General's Guidelines.
12. Assignments of cases to personnel will be based on, but not limited to, experience,
training and performance, in addition to the discretion of the OCAOCTF Supervisor.
13. For FBI administrative purposes, OCAOCTF cases will be entered into the relevant FBI
computer system.
14. OCAOCTF personnel will have equal responsibility for each case assigned. OCAOCTF
personnel will be responsible for complete investigation from predication to resolution.

15. The head of each participating agency shall determine the resources to be dedicated by
that agency to the OCAOCTF, including personnel, as well as the continued dedication of
those resources. The participating agency head or designee shall be kept fully apprised
of all investigative developments by his or her subordinates.
OPERATIONS
A. Investigative Exclusivity
16. It is agreed that matters designated to be handled by the OCAOCTF will not knowingly be
subject to non-OCAOCTF law enforcement efforts by any of the participating agencies. It
is incumbent on each agency to make proper internal notification regarding the
OCAOCTF's existence and areas of concern.
17. It is agreed that there is to be no unilateral action taken on the part of the FBI or any
participating agency relating to OCAOCTF investigations or areas of concern as
described in paragraph 4. All law enforcement actions will be coordinated and
cooperatively carried out.
18. OCAOCTF investigative leads outside of the geographic areas of responsibility for FBI
Los Angeles Division will be communicated to other FBI offices for appropriate
investigation.
B. Confidential Human Sources
19. The disclosure of FBI informants, or Confidential Human Sources (CHSs), to non-
OCAOCTF personnel will be limited to those situations where it is essential to the
effective performance of the OCAOCTF. These disclosures will be consistent with
applicable FBI guidelines.
20. Non -FBI OCAOCTF personnel may not make any further disclosure of the identity of an
FBI CHS, including to other individuals assigned to the OCAOCTF. No documents which
identify, tend to identify, or may indirectly identify an FBI CHS may be released without
prior FBI approval.
21. In those instances where a participating agency provides a CHS, the FBI may, at the
discretion of the SAC, become solely responsible for the CHS's continued development,
operation, and compliance with necessary administrative procedures regarding operation
and payment as set forth by the FBI.
22. The United States Attorney General's Guidelines and FBI policy and procedure for
operating FBI CHSs shall apply to all FBI CHSs opened and operated in furtherance of
OCAOCTF investigations. Documentation of, and any payments made to, FBI CHSs
shall be in accordance with FBI policy and procedure,
23. Operation, documentation, and payment of any CHS opened and operated in furtherance
of an OCAOCTF investigation must be in accordance with the United States Attorney
General's Guidelines, regardless of whether the handling agency is an FBI OCAOCTF
participating agency. Documentation of state, county, or local CHSs opened and
operated in furtherance of OCAOCTF investigations shall be maintained at an agreed
upon location.
C. Reports and Records
24. All investigative reporting will be prepared in compliance with existing FBI policy. Subject
to pertinent legal and/or policy restrictions, copies of pertinent documents created by
OCAOCTF personnel will be made available for inclusion in the respective investigative
agencies' files as appropriate.
25. OCAOCTF reports prepared in cases assigned to OCAOCTF personnel will be
maintained at an FBI approved location; original documents will be maintained by the
FBI.
26. Records and reports generated in OCAOCTF cases which are opened and assigned by
the FBI SSA with designated oversight for investigative and personnel matters will be
maintained in the FBI investigative file for OCAOCTF.
27. OCAOCTF investigative records maintained at the Los Angeles Field Office of the FBI will
be available to all OCAOCTF personnel, as well as their supervisory and command staff
subject to pertinent legal, administrative and/or policy restrictions.
28. All evidence and original tape recordings (audio and video) acquired by the FBI during
the course of the OCAOCTF investigations will be maintained by the FBI. The FBI's rules
and policies governing the submission, retrieval and chain of custody will be adhered to
by OCAOCTF personnel.
29. All OCAOCTF investigative records will be maintained at an approved FBI location.
Placement of all or part of said information into participating agency files rests with the
discretion of supervisory personnel of the concerned agencies, subject to SSA approval.
30. Classified information and/or documents containing information that identifies or tends to
identify an FBI CHS shall not be placed in the files of participating agencies unless
appropriate FBI policy has been satisfied.
31. The Parties acknowledge that this MOU may provide OCAOCTF personnel with access
to information about U.S. persons which is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 and/or
Executive Order 12333. The Parties expressly agree that all such information will be
handled lawfully pursuant to the provisions thereof. The Parties further agree that if this
access to information by OCAOCTF personnel requires a change in privacy compliance
documents, those changes will be accomplished prior to access being granted.
INFORMATION SHARING
32. No information possessed by the FBI, to include information derived from informal
communications between OCAOCTF personnel and FBI employees not assigned to the
OCAOCTF, may be disseminated by OCAOCTF personnel to non-OCAOCTF personnel
without the approval of the OCAOCTF Supervisor and in accordance with the applicable
laws and internal regulations, procedures or agreements between the FBI and the
participating agencies that would permit the participating agencies to receive that
information directly. Likewise, OCAOCTF personnel will not provide any participating
agency information to the FBI that is not otherwise available to it unless authorized by
appropriate participating agency officials.
33. Any FBI or OCAOCTF personnel that discloses personally identifiable information (PI I) is
responsible for making reasonable efforts to ensure that the information disclosed is
accurate, complete, timely, and relevant.
34. The FBI is providing access to information from its records with the understanding that in
the event the recipient becomes aware of any inaccuracies in the data, the recipient will
promptly notify the FBI so that corrective action can be taken. Similarly, if the FBI
becomes aware that information it has received pursuant to this MOU is inaccurate, it will
notify the contributing Party so that corrective action can be taken.
35. The Parties are responsible for ensuring that information it discloses was not knowingly
obtained or maintained in violation of any law or policy applicable to the disclosing Party,
and that information is only made available to the receiving Party as may be permitted by
laws, regulations, policies, or procedures applicable to the disclosing Party.
36. The Parties will immediately report to each other each instance in which data received
from either the FBI or OCAOCTF is used, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorized
manner (including any data losses or breaches).
37. The Parties agree that either or both may audit the handling and maintenance of data in
electronic and paper recordkeeping systems to ensure that appropriate security and
privacy protections are in place.
PROSECUTIONS
38. OCAOCTF investigative procedures, whenever practicable, are to conform to the
requirements which would allow for either federal or state prosecution.
39. A determination will be made on a case -by -case basis whether the prosecution of
OCAOCTF cases will be at the state or federal level. This determination will be based on
the evidence obtained and a consideration of which level of prosecution would be of the
greatest benefit to the overall objectives of the OCAOCTF.
5
40. In the event that a state or local matter is developed that is outside the jurisdiction of the
FBI or it is decided to prosecute an OCAOCTF case at the state or local level, the FBI
agrees to provide all relevant information to state and local authorities in accordance with
all applicable legal limitations.
A. Investigative Methods/Evidence
41. For cases assigned to an FBI Special Agent or in which FBI CHSs are utilized, the
Parties agree to conform to federal standards concerning evidence collection, processing,
storage, and electronic surveillance. However, in situations where the investigation will
be prosecuted in the State Court where statutory or common law of the state is more
restrictive than the comparable federal law, the investigative methods employed by FBI
case agents shall conform to the requirements of such statutory or common law pending
a decision as to venue for prosecution.
42. In all cases assigned to state, county, or local law enforcement participants, the parties
agree to utilize federal standards pertaining to evidence handling and electronic
surveillance activities as outlined in the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide to
the greatest extent possible. However, in situations where the statutory or common law
of the state is more restrictive than the comparable federal law, the investigative methods
employed by state and local law enforcement agencies shall conform to the requirements
of such statutory or common law pending a decision as to venue for prosecution.
43. The use of other investigative methods (search warrants, interceptions of oral
communications, etc.) and reporting procedures in connection therewith will be consistent
with the policies and procedures of the FBI.
B. Undercover Operations
44. All OCAOCTF undercover operations will be conducted and reviewed in accordance with
FBI guidelines and the Attorney General's Guidelines on Federal Bureau of Investigation
Undercover Operations. All participating agencies may be requested to enter into an
additional agreement if an employee of the participating agency is assigned duties which
require the officer to act in an undercover capacity.
USE OF LESS -THAN -LETHAL -DEVICES?
45. The parent agency of each individual assigned to the OCAOCTF will ensure that while
the individual is participating in FBI -led task force operations in the capacity of a task
force officer, task force member, or task force participant, the individual will carry only
less -lethal devices that the parent agency has issued to the individual, and that the
individual has been trained in accordance with the agency's policies and procedures.
Pursuant to Section Vlll of the DOJ Less -Than -Lethal Devices Policy dated May
16, 2011, all state/local officers participating in joint task force operations must be made aware of and
adhere to the policy and its limits on DOJ officers.
46. The parent agency of each individual assigned to the OCAOCTF will ensure that the
agency's policies and procedures for use of any less -lethal device that will be carried by
the task force officer, task force member, or task force participant are consistent with the
DOJ policy statement on the Use of Less -Than -Lethal Devices.
DEADLY FORCE AND SHOOTING INCIDENT POLICIES
47. OCAOCTF personnel will follow their own agencies' policies concerning firearms
discharge and use of deadly force.
DEPUTATIONS
48. Local and state law enforcement personnel designated to the OCAOCTF, subject to a
limited background inquiry, shall be sworn as federal task force officers either by
acquiring Title 21 or Title 18 authority (via the United States Marshals), with the FBI
securing the required deputation authorization. These deputations should remain in
effect throughout the tenure of each investigator's assignment to the OCAOCTF or until
the termination of the OCAOCTF, whichever comes first.
49. Deputized OCAOCTF personnel will be subject to the rules and regulations pertaining to
such deputation. Administrative and personnel policies imposed by the participating
agencies will not be voided by deputation of their respective personnel.
VEHICLES
50. In furtherance of this MOU, employees of SAPID may be permitted to drive FBI owned or
leased vehicles for official OCAOCTF business and only in accordance with applicable
FBI rules and regulations, including those outlined in the FBI Government Vehicle Use
Policy Guide (0791 PG) or superseding versions thereof. The assignment of an FBI
owned or leased vehicle to SAPID OCAOCTF personnel will require the execution of a
separate Vehicle Use Agreement.
51. The participating agencies agree that FBI vehicles will not be used to transport
passengers unrelated to OCAOCTF business.
52. The FBI and the United States will not be responsible for any tortious act or omission on
the part of the SAPID and/or its employees or for any liability resulting from the use of an
FBI owned or leased vehicle utilized by SAPID OCAOCTF personnel, except where
liability may fall under the provisions of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), as discussed
in the Liability Section herein below.
53. The FBI and the United States shall not be responsible for any civil liability arising from
the use of an FBI owned or leased vehicle by SAPID task force personnel while engaged
in any conduct other than their official duties and assignments under this MOU.
54. To the extent permitted by applicable law, SAPID agrees to hold harmless the FBI and the
United States, for any claim for property damage or personal injury arising from any use
of an FBI owned or leased vehicle by SAPID OCAOCTF personnel which is outside the
scope of their official duties and assignments under this MOU.
SALARY/OVERTIME COMPENSATION
55. The FBI and SAPID remain responsible for all personnel costs for their OCAOCTF
representatives, including salaries, overtime payments and fringe benefits consistent with
their respective agency, except as described in paragraph 56 below.
56. Subject to funding availability and legislative authorization, the FBI will reimburse to
SAPID the cost of overtime worked by non-federal OCAOCTF personnel assigned full-
time to OCAOCTF, provided overtime expenses were incurred as a result of OCAOCTF-
related duties, and subject to the provisions and limitations set forth in a separate Cost
Reimbursement Agreement to be executed in conjunction with this MOU. A separate
Cost Reimbursement Agreement must be executed between the FBI and SAPID for full-
time employee(s) assigned to OCAOCTF, consistent with regulations and policy, prior to
any reimbursement by the FBI. Otherwise, overtime shall be compensated in accordance
with applicable SAPID overtime provisions and shall be subject to the prior approval of
appropriate personnel.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
57. Property utilized by the OCAOCTF in connection with authorized investigations and/or
operations and in the custody and control and used at the direction of the OCAOCTF, will
be maintained in accordance with the policies and procedures of the agency supplying
the equipment. Property damaged or destroyed which was utilized by OCAOCTF in
connection with authorized investigations and/or operations and is in the custody and
control and used at the direction of OCAOCTF, will be the financial responsibility of the
agency supplying said property.
FUNDING
58. This MOU is not an obligation or commitment of funds, nor a basis for transfer of funds,
but rather is a basic statement of the understanding between the Parties hereto of the
tasks and methods for performing the tasks described herein. Unless otherwise agreed
in writing, the FBI and OCAOCTF shall bear its own costs in relation to this MOU.
Expenditures by the FBI and OCAOCTF will be subject to its budgetary processes and to
the availability of funds and resources pursuant to applicable laws, regulations, and
policies. The Parties expressly acknowledge that the above language in no way implies
that Congress will appropriate funds for such expenditures.
FORFEITURES
59. The FBI shall be responsible for processing assets seized for federal forfeiture in
conjunction with OCAOCTF operations.
60. Asset forfeitures will be conducted in accordance with federal law, and the rules and
regulations set forth by the FBI and DOJ. Forfeitures attributable to OCAOCTF
investigations may be equitably shared with the agencies participating in the OCAOCTF.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
61. In cases of overlapping jurisdiction, the participating agencies agree to work in concert to
achieve the OCAOCTF's objectives.
62. The participating agencies agree to attempt to resolve any disputes regarding jurisdiction,
case assignments, workload, etc., at the field level first before referring the matter to
supervisory personnel for resolution.
MEDIA RELEASES
63. All media releases and statements will be mutually agreed upon and jointly handled
according to FBI and participating agency guidelines.
64. Press releases will conform to DOJ Guidelines regarding press releases. No release will
be issued without FBI final approval.
SELECTION TO OCAOCTF AND SECURITY CLEARANCES
65. If an SAPID candidate for the OCAOCTF will require a security clearance, he or she will
be contacted by FBI security personnel to begin the background Investigation process
prior to the assigned start date.
66. If, for any reason, the FBI determines that an SAPID candidate is not qualified or eligible
to serve on the OCAOCTF, the participating agency will be so advised and a request will
be made for another candidate.
67. Upon being selected, each candidate will receive a comprehensive briefing on FBI field
office security policies and procedures. During the briefing, each candidate will execute
non -disclosure agreements (SF-312 and FD-868), as may be necessary or required by
the FBI.
68. Before receiving unescorted access to FBI space identified as an open storage facility,
OCAOCTF personnel will be required to obtain and maintain a "Top Secret" security
clearance. OCAOCTF personnel will not be allowed unescorted access to FBI space
unless they have received a Top Secret security clearance.
69. Upon departure from the OCAOCTF, each individual whose assignment to the
OCAOCTF is completed will be given a security debriefing and reminded of the
provisions contained in the non -disclosure agreement to which he or she previously
agreed.
LIABILITY
70. The participating agencies acknowledge that this MOU does not alter the applicable law
governing civil liability, if any, arising from the conduct of personnel assigned to the
OCAOCTF.
71. The participating agency shall immediately notify the FBI of any civil, administrative, or
.criminal claim, complaint, discovery request, or other request for information of which the
agency receives notice, concerning or arising from the conduct of personnel assigned to
the OCAOCTF or otherwise relating to the OCAOCTF. The participating agency
acknowledges that financial and civil liability, if any and in accordance with applicable
law, for the acts and omissions of each employee detailed to the OCAOCTF remains
vested with his or her employing agency. In the event that a civil claim or complaint is
brought against a state or local officer assigned to the OCAOCTF, the officer may request
legal representation and/or defense by DOJ, under the circumstances and pursuant to
the statutes and regulations identified below.
72. For the limited purpose of defending against a civil claim arising from alleged negligent or
wrongful conduct under common law under the FTCA, 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b), and §§ 2671-
2680: An individual assigned to the OCAOCTF who is named as a defendant in a civil
action as a result of or in connection with the performance of his or her official duties and
assignments pursuant to this MOU may request to be certified by the Attorney General or
his/her designee as having acted within the scope of federal employment at the time of
the incident giving rise to the suit. 28 U.S.C. § 2679(d)(2). Upon such certification, the
individual will be considered an "employee" of the United States government for the
limited purpose of defending the civil claim under the FTCA, and the claim will proceed
against the United States as sole defendant. 28 U.S.C. § 2679(d)(2). Once an individual
is certified as an employee of the United States for purposes of the FTCA, the United
States is substituted for the employee as the sole defendant with respect to any tort
claims. Decisions regarding certification of employment under the FTCA are made on a
case -by -case basis, and the FBI cannot guarantee such certification to any OCAOCTF
personnel.
73. For the limited purpose of defending against a civil claim arising from an alleged violation
of the U.S. Constitution pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or Bivens v. Six Unknown Named
Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971): An individual assigned
to the OCAOCTF who is named as a defendant in a civil action as a result of or in
connection with the performance of his or her official duties and assignments pursuant to
this MOU may request individual -capacity representation by DOJ to defend against the
claims. 28 C.F.R. §§ 50.15, 50.16. Any such request for individual -capacity
representation must be made in the form of a letter from the individual defendant to the
U.S. Attorney General. The letter should be provided to Chief Division Counsel (CDC) for
the FBI Los Angeles Division, who will then coordinate the request with the FBI Office of
the General Counsel. In the event of an adverse judgment against the individual, he or
she may request indemnification from DOJ. 28 C.F.R. § 50.15(c)(4). Requests for DOJ
representation and indemnification are determined by DOJ on a case -by -case basis. The
10
FBI cannot guarantee the United States will provide legal representation or
indemnification to any OCAOCTF personnel.
74. Liability for any conduct by OCAOCTF personnel undertaken outside of the scope of their
assigned duties and responsibilities under this MOU shall not be the responsibility of the
FBI or the United States and shall be the sole responsibility of the respective employee
and/or agency involved.
DURATION
75. The term of this MOU is for the duration of the OCAOCTF's operations, contingent upon
approval of necessary funding, but may be terminated at any time upon written mutual
consent of the agency involved.
76. Any participating agency may withdraw from the OCAOCTF at any time by written
notification to the SSA with designated oversight for investigative and personnel matters
or program manager of the OCAOCTF at least 30 days prior to withdrawal.
77. Upon termination of this MOU, all equipment provided to the OCAOCTF will be returned
to the supplying agency/agencies. In addition, when an entity withdraws from the MOU,
the entity will return equipment to the supplying agency/agencies. Similarly, remaining
agencies will return to a withdrawing agency any unexpended equipment supplied by the
withdrawing agency during any OCAOCTF participation.
MODIFICATIONS
78. This agreement may be modified at any time by written consent of all involved agencies.
79. Modifications to this MOU shall have no force and effect unless such modifications are
reduced to writing and signed by an authorized representative of each participating
agency.

COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (FBI)
AND
SANTA ANA POLICE DEPARTMENT (SAPD)
TASK FORCE FILE # 281E-LA-A256206
Pursuant to Congressional appropriations, the FBI receives authority to pay
overtime for police officers assigned to the formalized ORANGE COUNTY ASIAN
ORGANIZED CRIME TASK FORCE as set forth below for expenses necessary for
detection, investigation, and prosecution of crimes against the United States.
It is hereby agreed between the FBI and the SANTA ANA POLICE DEPARTMENT
located at 60 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701, Taxpayer Identification
Number: 95-6000785, Phone Number: (714) 245-8047 that:
1) Commencing upon execution of this agreement, the FBI will, subject to
availability of the required funding, reimburse the agency for overtime
payments made to the officers assigned full-time to the task force.
2) Requests for reimbursement will be made on a monthly basis and should
be forwarded to the FBI field office as soon as practical after the first of
the month which follows the month for which reimbursement is requested. Such
requests should be forwarded by the Supervisor of the agency to the FBI Task
Force Squad Supervisor and Special Agent in Charge for their review, approval,
and processing for payment.
3) Overtime reimbursements will be made directly to the agency by the
FBI. All overtime reimbursement payments are made by electronic fund transfer
(EFT). An ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form must be on file
with the FBI to facilitate EFT.
4) Overtime reimbursements will be calculated at the usual rate for which
the individual officer's time would be compensated in the absence of this
agreement. However, said reimbursement, per officer, shall not exceed monthly
and/or annual limits established annually by the FBI. The limits, calculated
using Federal pay tables, will be in effect for the Federal fiscal year
running from. October 1st of one year through September 30th of the following
year, unless changed during the period. The FBI reserves the right to change
the reimbursement limits, upward or downward, for subsequent periods based on
fiscal priorities and appropriations limits. The FBI will notify the agency
of the applicable annual limits prior to October 1st of each year.
5) The number of agency officers assigned full-time to the task force and
entitled to overtime reimbursement by the FBI shall be approved by the FBI in
advance of each fiscal year. Based on the needs of the task force, this
number may change periodically, upward or downward, as approved in advance by
the FBI.
6) Prior to submission of any overtime reimbursement requests, the
agency must prepare an official document setting forth the identity of each
officer assigned full-time to the task force, along with the regular and
overtime hourly rates for each officer. Should any officers change during the
year, a similar statement must be prepared regarding the new officers prior to
submitting any overtime reimbursement requests for the officers. The document
should be sent to the field office for FBI review and approval.
7) Each request for reimbursement will include the name, rank, ID
number, overtime compensation rate, number of reimbursable hours claimed, and
the dates of those hours for each officer for whom reimbursement is sought.
The request must be accompanied by a certification, signed by an appropriate
Supervisor of the agency, that the request has been personally reviewed, the
information described in this paragraph is accurate, and the personnel for
whom reimbursement is claimed were assigned full-time to the task force.
8) Each request for reimbursement will include an invoice number, invoice
date, taxpayer identification number (TIN), and the correct banking
information to complete the electronic fund transfer. The necessary banking
information is the Depositor Account Title, Bank Account Number, Routing
Number, and Type of Account (either checking, savings, or lockbox). If the
banking information changes, a new ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment
Form must be submitted to the FBI.
9) Requests for reimbursement must be received by the FBI no later than
December 31st of the next fiscal year for which the reimbursement applies.
For example, reimbursements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009,
must be received by the FBI by December 31, 2009. The FBI is not obligated to
reimburse any requests received after that time.
10) This agreement is effective upon signature of the parties and will
remain in effect for the duration of the agency's participation in the task
force, contingent upon approval of necessary funding, and unless terminated in
accordance with the provisions herein. This agreement may be modified at any
time by written consent of the parties. It may be terminated at any time upon
mutual consent of the parties, or unilaterally upon written notice from the
terminating party to the other party at least 30 days prior to the termination
date.
