Text
Acquiring agencies are required to send land acquisition cases to the Land Acquisition Section for initial review and subsequent assignment. If a request to acquire an interest in real property by eminent domain is made directly to a United States Attorney Office, such request shall be forwarded by email to the Chief of the Land Acquisition Section. Actions to acquire land may only be initiated by a United States Attorney after a referral to the United States Attorney by the Attorney General, through the Land Acquisition Section.
