ASLRP Component Review and Validation

Upon receiving an ASLRP request form from an attorney, component representatives must review Parts 1 and 2 (completed by the attorney), complete Part 3, check to see if the attorney's packet is complete (e.g., contains all the required attachments), and forward to the Executive Officer (or equivalent) or authorized delegate for completion of Part 4 (final validation).

When the entire packet is complete, forward to OARM electronically at ASLRP@usdoj.gov. by the appropriate submission deadline.   See special instructions for USAOs, below.
