PART 1008_ADVISORY OPINIONS BY THE OIG--Table of Contents

 

           Subpart F_Scope and Effect of OIG Advisory Opinions

 

Sec.  1008.59  Range of the advisory opinion.



    (a) An advisory opinion will state only the OIG's opinion regarding 

the subject matter of the request. If the arrangement for which an 

advisory opinion is requested is subject to approval or regulation by 

any other Federal, State or local government agency, such advisory 

opinion may not be taken to indicate the OIG's views on the legal or 

factual issues that may be raised before that agency. The OIG will not 

provide any legal opinion on questions or issues regarding an authority 

which is vested in other Federal, State or local government agencies.

    (b) An advisory opinion issued under this part will not bind or 

obligate any agency other than the Department. It will not affect the 

requestor's, or anyone else's, obligations to any other agency, or under 

any statutory or regulatory provision other than that which is the 

specific subject matter of the advisory opinion.
