Without the express approval of the Assistant Attorney General of ENRD, in any criminal case arising under the statutes identified in JM 5-11.101 no plea agreement will be negotiated which compromises the right of the United States to any civil or administrative remedies under those statutes. Efforts by defendants to effect such results may arise in the context of so-called "global settlement" offers. See ENRD Directive No. 2016-11 (Dec. 20, 2016).
