Justice Manual § 1-6.230
Consultation With the Originating Component
The United States Attorney must promptly notify the "originating component" when it receives a demand. 28 C.F.R. § 16.24(a); see JM 1-6.112 (defining “originating component”). For illustrative examples, see the DOJ Organization and Functions Manual at 19.
When the testimony or information is sought from the office of the United States Attorney, the office of the United States Attorney can itself be the “originating component.” 28 C.F.R. § 16.24(a). In such situations, the United States Attorney may make all determinations that the regulations vest in the originating component.
