Justice Manual § 4-9.110
Enforcement Responsibility
The United States Attorneys’ offices handle most financial litigation matters for the United States. Each United States Attorney is responsible for conducting, handling, or supervising such litigation or other actions as may be appropriate to accomplish the satisfaction, collection or recovery of judgments, fines, restitution, penalties, assessments, court costs and appearance bond forfeitures imposed in the district. However, an Assistant Attorney General, or delegate of the litigating division which has jurisdiction of the case in which such judgment, fine, penalty or forfeiture is imposed, may notify the United States Attorney in writing that the division will assume enforcement responsibilities. See 28 C.F.R. § 0.171(a).
