All United States Attorneys’ Offices (USAOs) are required to categorize and quantify the resources expended in the course of managing and administering the office, preparing case work and briefs, and litigating cases. The completeness and accuracy of the resource summary and allocation system is dependent on the commitment of the management of each USAO. The United States Attorneys’ Monthly Resource Summary Reporting System (USA-5) provides a means for reporting the use of personnel resources allocated to United States Attorney offices on a monthly basis. EOUSA uses the information to formulate and justify budgets, respond to ad hoc inquiries concerning the allocation of United States Attorney resources, and to monitor the allocation of congressionally appropriated resources.
