Part IV, D of The Attorney General's Guidelines on Seized and Forfeited Property (July 1990) (JM Chapter 9-118.000) requires notification to the "Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture ... at the time property valued at $50,000 or greater is placed into official use." Although this requirement may be satisfied by post-transfer notification, the FBI and U.S. Marshals Service provided the then Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture with advance notice of and an opportunity to review such decisions. Such notification should now be made to MNF.

MNF should be given advance notice of and an opportunity to review official use actions involving federal forfeited property valued at $50,000 or more. MNF will endeavor to act on all such notifications within two weeks of receipt. See Chapter 5 of the Asset Forfeiture Policy Manual ("Review of Official Use of Forfeited Property").
