Can there be more than one TPO per DEA annex?
• Should the TPO determine that additional resources are required to execute the annex, the TPO has the authority to nominate, select and assign an Associate TPO. Copies of all correspondence, including a technical resume of the ATPO must be provided to Navy IPO. Remember that the TPO is directly and personally held responsible for all exchanges of information and technical data; therefore, the ATPO must work closely with the TPO. However, recent changes with the DEA program now authorize the ATPO to approve or deny foreign visits to listed U.S. activities in the exchange annex.
