The extent to which a United States Attorney is responsible for handling any condemnation case is determined by the Land Acquisition Section in accordance with ENRD Directive No. 2017-07. Condemnation matters are classified into two categories, as described at JM 5-15.321 and 5-15.322. A case may be reclassified at any time due to changed circumstances. When a case is the full responsibility of United States Attorney's Offices, the Land Acquisition Section will assign an attorney as the primary contact for transmittal and informational purposes in the transmittal letter.
