If the investigating official concludes that an action under this part is warranted, the investigating official submits a report containing the findings and conclusions of the investigation to a reviewing official. The reviewing official is the General Counsel or his designee. If the reviewing official determines that the report provides adequate evidence that a person submitted a false claim or statement, the reviewing official transmits to the Attorney General written notice of an intention to refer the matter for adjudication, with a request for approval of such referral. This notice will include the reviewing official's statements concerning:
The reasons for the referral;
The claims or statements upon which liability would be based;
The evidence that supports liability;
An estimate of the amount of money or the value of property, services, or other benefits requested or demanded in the false claim or statement;
Any exculpatory or mitigating circumstances that may relate to the claims or statements known by the reviewing official or the investigating official; and
The likelihood of collecting the proposed penalties and assessments.
If at any time, the Attorney General or designee requests in writing that this administrative process be stayed, the Administrator must stay the process immediately. The Administrator may order the process resumed only upon receipt of the written authorization of the Attorney General.
