Sec. 80.6  General requirements.

    Each request shall be specific and must be accompanied by all 
relevant and material information bearing on the conduct for which an 
FCPA Opinion is requested and on the circumstances of the prospective 
conduct, including background information, complete copies of all 
operative documents, and detailed statements of all collateral or oral 
understandings, if any. The requesting issuer or domestic concern is 
under an affirmative obligation to make full and true disclosure with 
respect to the conduct for which an opinion is requested. Each request 
on behalf of a requesting issuer or corporate domestic concern must be 
signed by an appropriate senior officer with operational responsibility 
for the conduct that is the subject of the request and who has been 
designated by the requestor's chief executive officer to sign the 
opinion request. In appropriate cases, the Department of Justice may 
require the chief executive officer of each requesting issuer or 
corporate domestic concern to sign the request. All requests of other 
domestic concerns must also be signed. The person signing the request 
must certify that it contains a true, correct and complete disclosure 
with respect to the proposed conduct and the circumstances of the 
conduct.
