PART 81--CHILD ABUSE REPORTING DESIGNATIONS AND PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 81.2  Submission of reports; designation of agencies to receive reports of child abuse.

    Reports of child abuse required by 42 U.S.C. 13031 shall be made to 
the local law enforcement agency or local child protective services 
agency that has jurisdiction to investigate reports of child abuse or to 
protect child abuse victims in the land area or facility in question. 
Such agencies are hereby respectively designated as the agencies to 
receive and investigate such reports, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 13031(d), 
with respect to federal lands and federally operated or contracted 
facilities within their respective jurisdictions, provided that such 
agencies, if non-federal, enter into formal written agreements to do so 
with the Attorney General, her delegate, or a federal agency with 
jurisdiction for the area or facility in question. If the child abuse 
reported by the covered professional pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 13031 
occurred outside the federal area or facility in question, the 
designated local law enforcement agency or local child protective 
services agency receiving the report shall immediately forward the 
matter to the appropriate authority with jurisdiction outside the 
federal area in question.
