Questions about 29 U.S.C. § 504 and § 1111 should be directed to the Labor Management Unit of the Violent Crime and Racketeering Section, Criminal Division, which has supervisory authority over these statutes.

By a Memorandum of Understanding dated January 18, 2005, between the Secretary of Labor and the Attorney General, both the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Labor (DOL) have authority to investigate violations of 29 U.S.C. § . Pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding dated February 9, 1975, between the Secretary of Labor and the Attorney General, the FBI has authority to investigate violations of 29 U.S.C. § 1111 under delegation from the DOL. The 1975 Memorandum permits different arrangements to be made on a case-by-case basis because the DOL has statutory authority to investigate violations of § 1111.

In regard to issues concerning the appropriateness of a grant of an exemption under 29 U.S.C. §§ 504 or 1111, investigation is conducted by Department of Labor investigators with the assistance of the Office of the Solicitor of Labor in Washington, D.C.
