The Service establishes rules for participating in these pilot programs and embodies these rules in an implementing document typically referred to as a “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) or “Memorandum of Agreement” (MOA). Pilot participants must agree to the provisions of the implementing document in order to participate in the pilot program.

plementing document specifically provides otherwise.
