Sec. 1264.105  Prerequisites for issuing a complaint.



    (a) The reviewing official may issue a complaint under Sec. 

1264.106 only if--

    (1) The Department of Justice approves the issuance of a complaint 

in a written statement described in 31 U.S.C. 3803(b)(1); and

    (2) In the case of allegations of liability under Sec. 1264.102(a) 

with respect to a claim, the reviewing official determines that, with 

respect to such claim or a group of related claims submitted at the same 

time such claim is submitted (as defined in paragraph (b) of this 

section), the amount of money or the value of property or services 

demanded or requested in violation of Sec. 1264.102(a) does not exceed 

$150,000.

    (b) For the purposes of this section, a related group of claims 

submitted at the same time shall include only those claims arising from 

the same transaction (e.g., grant, loan, application, or contract) that 

are submitted simultaneously as part of a single request, demand, or 

submission.

    (c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the 

reviewing official's authority to join in a single complaint against a 

person claims that are unrelated or were not submitted simultaneously, 

regardless of the amount of money or the value of property or services 

demanded or requested.
