{"abstract":"Consistent with Executive Order 13563, by this rule the Department of Justice (the Department) revises, consolidates, and updates its regulations regarding the seizure, forfeiture, and remission of assets. The rule recognizes that as of 2002 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is now part of the Department, and consolidates the regulations governing the seizure and administrative forfeiture of property by ATF with those of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The rule also conforms the seizure and forfeiture regulations of ATF, DEA, FBI, and the Department's Criminal Division to address procedural changes necessitated by the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act (CAFRA) of 2000. The rule allows ATF, DEA, and FBI to publish administrative forfeiture notices on an official Internet government Web site instead of in newspapers. Lastly, the rule updates the regulations to reflect current forfeiture practice and clarifies the existing regulations pertaining to the return of assets to victims through the remission process.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","name":"Justice Department","id":268,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/justice-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/268","parent_id":null,"slug":"justice-department"},{"raw_name":"Drug Enforcement Administration","name":"Drug Enforcement Administration","id":116,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/drug-enforcement-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/116","parent_id":268,"slug":"drug-enforcement-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2012/09/12/2012-21943.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1316,"title":21},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":8,"title":28},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":9,"title":28}],"citation":"77 FR 56093","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: This rule is effective October 12, 2012.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. OAG 127","AG Order No. 3343-2012"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2012-21943","effective_on":"2012-10-12","end_page":56115,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2012/09/12/2012-21943.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/09/12/2012-21943/consolidation-of-seizure-and-forfeiture-regulations","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2012-21943?publication_date=2012-09-12","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2012-09-12/2012-21943/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":23,"page_views":{"count":2651,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 06:15:08 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-09-12/pdf/2012-21943.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2012-21943.pdf?1347367971","publication_date":"2012-09-12","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2012/09/12/2012-21943.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1105-AA74":{"issue":"201110","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1105-AA74/consolidation-of-regulations-governing-administrative-forfeiture-for-department-of-justice-law-enfor","title":"Consolidation of Regulations Governing Administrative Forfeiture for Department of Justice Law Enforcement Agencies; Application of Department Regulations To Seizures for Forfeiture by ATF","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201110&RIN=1105-AA74&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Other Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1105-AA74"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Controlled Substances Ordering System Modernization","document_id":"DEA_FRDOC_0001-0420"},{"title":"Samidorphan_DEA_8F analysis_10-15-2020","document_id":"DEA_FRDOC_0001-0330"},{"title":"HHS Samidorphan 2020 01-09","document_id":"DEA_FRDOC_0001-0329"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=DEA_FRDOC_0001","supporting_documents_count":2,"docket_id":"DEA_FRDOC_0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Recently Posted DEA Rules and Notices","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2012-10-02T08:05:34Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":56093,"subtype":null,"title":"Consolidation of Seizure and Forfeiture Regulations","toc_doc":"Consolidation of Seizure and Forfeiture Regulations","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Arms and munitions","Authority delegations (Government agencies)","Communications equipment","Copyright","Crime","Drug traffic control","Gambling","Infants and children","Motor vehicles","Research","Seizures and forfeitures","Wiretapping and electronic surveillance"],"type":"Rule","volume":77}
