                     Subpart B_Legal Management Plan
 
Sec. 719.17  Are there any budgetary requirements?

    (a) Contractors required to submit a legal management plan must also 
submit an annual legal budget covering then pending matters to 
Department counsel.
    (b) The annual legal budget must include cost projections for known 
or existing matters for which reimbursable legal costs are expected to 
exceed $100,000, at a level of detail reflective of the types of 
billable activities and the stage of each such matter.
    (c) For informational purposes for both the contractor and 
Department counsel, the contractor must report on its success on staying 
within budget at the conclusion of the period covered by each annual 
legal budget. The Department recognizes, however, that there will be 
departures from the annual budget beyond the control of the contractor.
