Sec.  14.561  Administrative action prior to submission.

    Before a submission is made to the U.S. Attorney in cases involving 
personnel or claims, the General Counsel, if the file is in Central 
Office, or the Regional Counsel at the regional office, hospital or 
center, if the file is in the regional office or other field facility, 
will first ascertain that necessary administrative or adjudicatory 
(forfeiture (see Pub. L. 86-222; 73 Stat. 452), etc.), action has been 
taken; except that in urgent cases such as breaches of the peace, 
disorderly conduct, trespass, robbery, or where the evidence may be lost 
by delay, or prosecution barred by the statute of limitations, 
submission to the U.S. Attorney will be made immediately.
