**(a)** The Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts shall establish a program to facilitate the use of certified and otherwise qualified interpreters in judicial proceedings instituted by the United States.
**(b)**
(1) The Director shall prescribe, determine, and certify the qualifications of persons who may serve as certified interpreters, when the Director considers certification of interpreters to be merited, for the hearing impaired (whether or not also speech impaired) and persons who speak only or primarily a language other than the English language, in judicial proceedings instituted by the United States. The Director may certify interpreters for any language if the Director determines that there is a need for certified interpreters in that language.

However, the Secretary may not make determinations by regulation or order under this section as to matters within the scope of title 52 of the Revised Statutes and Acts supplementary or amendatory thereto, the Act of June 15, 1917 (ch. 30, 40 Stat. 220), as amended, or [section 1333(e) of title 43](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title43-section1333/e&num=0&edition=prelim).

TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
§ 132
Court for the Western District shall be held
at Eau Claire, La Crosse, Madison, Supe-
rior, and Wausau.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 894; Pub. L. 87–573,
Aug. 6, 1962, 76 Stat. 307.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 195 (Mar. 3, 1911,
ch. 231, § 114, 36 Stat. 1129; July 24, 1935, ch. 413, 49 Stat.
495).
Provisions for keeping the courts and their offices
open at all times were omitted as covered by section
452 of this title.
Provisions for maintenance of offices by the clerk
and marshal, and for the appointment and residence of
a deputy marshal for Superior, were omitted as covered
by sections 541 [see 561], 542 [see 561], and 751 of this
title.
Words ‘‘All causes and proceedings instituted in the
court at Superior shall be tried therein, unless by con-
sent of the parties, or upon the order of the court, they
are transferred to another place for trial,’’ were omit-
ted as unnecessary. Such provision, as to civil cases, is
covered by section 1404 of this title, and, as to criminal
cases, is rendered unnecessary because of inherent
power of the court and Rules 18–20 of the Federal Rules
of Criminal Procedure.
Provisions for the return of process, including crimi-
nal warrants, at Superior and other places in the west-
ern district and for the keeping of records in the clerk’s
office at Superior, were omitted, since such matters
can be regulated more appropriately by court rule or
order. (See Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4,
and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Rule 4(g).)
Changes in arrangement and phraseology were made.
