Which USMS form is the JPATS Request?

• A. USM-106 JPATS Request
• B. USM-553 Medical Clearance Form
• C. USM-130 Custody Alert Notice Form
• D. USM-41 Prisoner Remand/Custody Receipt

Answer: (A)

The JPATS Request is the form used to initiate a Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System transport. It is designed to gather all the necessary details to coordinate a JPATS flight—who the detainee is, which agency is requesting transport, security level, travel dates and destinations, and any medical or custody needs. That specific purpose is why the USM-106 JPATS Request is the best fit. The other forms serve different functions: a medical clearance form handles medical screening before transport, a custody alert notice informs other agencies about custody status, and a remand/custody receipt documents the transfer of custody. So, for initiating a JPATS transport, the JPATS Request form is the designated one.
