Heading: Property Control Procedures

Text: 15 The AJ also sustained the agency's charge that petitioner had failed to properly follow property control procedures by: (1) failing to list the tapes and transcript on an ATF Form 3400.16, thereby violating ATF Order 3400.1, Chapter B, Sec. 11(a) (May 13, 1985), and (2) failing to maintain proper records of the movement of the tapes, thereby violating ATF Order 3400.1, Chapter C, Sec. 29 (May 13, 1985). We disagree with petitioner's argument that this charge is not supported by substantial evidence. Three agency employees testified that the tapes and the attached transcript were not listed on the forms on which petitioner was required to record them. The AJ also noted that although petitioner had testified that he had taken the tapes to the U.S. Attorney and left them with her, there was no record of the tapes being so transferred. Those statements provide substantial evidence to support the AJ's decision to sustain this charge.
