1. General. When investigative
activity on a case needs to be conducted outside the
geographic jurisdiction of the primary RO, the primary RO may
request the RO having jurisdiction over this area (auxiliary
office) to perform the work.
2. Memorandum to Auxiliary RO. The
RD of the primary RO will request auxiliary office action
through a memorandum to the RD of the auxiliary office. The
memorandum will detail the requested action and will furnish
any other caserelated information which may be
necessary for the auxiliary office to satisfy the request.
Copies of the memorandum will be sent to OE/DFO.
3. Response by Auxiliary Office. The
auxiliary office will complete all of the requested action
within 30 days of the date the memorandum from the primary RO
is received, or within the time agreed upon between the two
offices. The results of the auxiliary office's investigative
activity will be reported by a Report of Investigation (ROI)
marked "RUC" (Referred Upon Completion) in the
status block. In addition to the ROI (RUC), the original
Reports of Interview (RIs), and accompanying exhibits prepared
by the auxiliary RO, will be forwarded to the primary RO. A
copy of the RUC report with exhibits will be maintained by the
auxiliary office.
4. Action Not Completed in 30 Days.
If the auxiliary office has not completed the requested action
within 30 days, or within the agreed upon time, the RD will
send a memorandum to the RD of the primary RO setting forth
the reasons for the delay and providing an expected completion
date.
5. Presence in Jurisdiction of Another
Regional Office. If personnel of one RO will be present
within the geographical jurisdiction of another RO during the
course of investigative activity, the RD of the latter office
should be informed in advance.
