If a claimant does not agree to a settlement of a claim of which is considered fair and equitable by the Agency's responsible
officials, the claimant, upon the final disposition thereof by the Agency, may elect to file suit. Relief from claims which are
disallowed may be sought by filing suit in the U.S. District Court for the district where the claimant resides or wherein the act of
omission complained of occurred. The failure of the Agency to make final disposition of a claim within 6 months after it has
been filed shall, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2672, and at the option of the claimant at any time thereafter, is deemed a final denial of
the claim. If a suit is filed against the Government involving the Agency, the Department of Justice will request the Agency to
furnish the complete file on the case. The Office of the General Counsel will represent the Agency in all negotiations with the
Department of Justice.
