C.3 Recording Requisites

(a) Recording hereunder shall be taken by reporters qualified in the operation of Steno-type equipment, Real Time recording, Computer Aided Transcription (CAT), Shorthand and/or monitored Multi-Microphone record-ing systems, and when permitted by the Presiding Official, by Steno mask. At the request of the USAO, re-cording shall also be taken by videotape. Regardless of the type of equipment used, it is mandatory that there be an accurate read back capability and that a back-up system be utilized. It is also mandatory that tape record-ing devices shall have a separate monitor head which shall allow the reporter to monitor the recorded tape.

1. Monitored Multi-Microphone Recording Systems. The mandatory requirements follow:

• The Contractor's personnel shall operate and monitor the recording equipment at all times.

• The operating personnel shall provide to the USAO, prior to the commencement of each proceeding, a certification that the equipment is turned on and operating.

• The recording equipment utilized shall provide for the instant playback of testimony.

• The equipment shall be capable of recording as many as twenty-three grand jurors together in one room with the prosecutor and the witness.

• The system utilized shall have a back-up system to allow continuous recording of speakers. The

Grand Jury hearings shall not be stopped for any reason such as the changing of a tape.

• The tapes shall be of such quality that there shall be no instances of inaudibility because of accents or words used by the speakers.

• The system shall be portable to allow for transportation of tapes to another location when an immedi-ate decision is required by a Federal District Court Judge.

The disk is inserted into an attachment to the computer and the information is brought up on the computer screen. A back-up voice tape is made also so that a re-verification can be made of the transcript.

5. Video Recording. The USAO will determine video formatting, DVD, CD or VHS.

(b) The Contractor, or the duly authorized employee, agent, or representative of the Contractor, shall present himself/herself to the person in charge of the proceedings and he/she shall at all times be governed by the in-structions of the Presiding Official in matters affecting the composition of the record, adjournment to other times or places, and matters of like character.

No statement that can properly fit on a line should be extended to an additional line. There should be no unnecessary blank lines unless absolutely necessary for readability. The USAO will be the sole judge of this format.

Section H

EOUSA FEDERAL GRAND JURY COURT REPORTER SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (12/16/2015)

1. Grand Jury (GJ) Security. The work to be performed under this contract will involve access to sensitive information subject to the

15JA0518Q00000081 Page 16 of 29 rules of 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures. The adequate and continual protection of the information (hereafter referred to as GJ information which includes GJ testimony, discussions, exhibits, etc.) and how it is used, shared, and stored, is extremely im-portant. The secrecy and ultimate security of the GJ information and proceedings is vital to the performance of the U.S. Attorney’s Of-fice (USAO) and the Court. A failure to protect GJ information by anyone involved may be considered a breach of contract, breach of agreement, a violation of standards, and perhaps, an unlawful act. Disclosures of matters appearing before the GJ other than its delib-erations, including the vote of any juror may be made available to the attorneys for the Government to use in the performance of their duties. Otherwise, a juror, attorney, interpreter, stenographer, or operator of recorded testimony may disclose matters appearing before the GJ only when so directed by the Court.

a. Violations of the Terms and Conditions. Unauthorized use of USAO GJ information or material could subject the disclosing indi-vidual to contempt of court penalties and other applicable penalties. Sensitive information may include, but is not limited to: data found within GJ information, informant and witness information, investigative material, tax information, medical information, com-puter systems information, Privacy Act (as amended) information, Department of Justice proprietary information, or Federal informa-tion that is not releasable to the general public and/or under the guidelines of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
