Memory Reconfiguration Procedures govern the Bureau's application of amnestics and memory modification across the five-class scale of memory suppression (Compendium §11). The procedure applies to civilian witnesses and to Bureau personnel alike, and is the procedural authority cited wherever a class of suppression is administered — for example, "Class III memory suppression per PR-400-20." Post-reconfiguration stabilization of identity is governed separately by PR-400-21 (Personality Anchoring Procedures).

This procedure governs the deliberate occlusion, removal, or restructuring of memory undertaken by the Bureau, in either civilian witnesses or Bureau personnel. It does not govern anomalous memory effects induced by an anomaly itself; those are catalogued in REP-600-11 and handled per their entry, though an anomalous memory effect may be followed by Bureau reconfiguration under this procedure.

Memory suppression is graded on the five-class scale defined in Compendium §11. Class designation is cited in case documentation in the form "Class III amnestic" or "Class III memory suppression."

Authority to administer scales with class.

• Class I–II may be authorized by the responsible Handler or Supervisor
• Class III requires Division-level authorization
• Class IV requires the Division Director
• Class V requires Bureau directorate authority and is subject to Ministerial review.

Administration at Class III and above is justified in the case record and reviewed post-facto.

Before administration, the responsible officer confirms the assigned class, the specific scope of memory to be addressed, and — for Bureau personnel — a cognitive-screening baseline (SC-900-05). Lower classes (I–II) are achieved by pharmacological means; targeted and substantial classes (III–IV) combine pharmacological administration with guided procedural reconstruction of the replacement account; Class V combines reconstruction with a supplied identity profile.

After administration, the subject is observed for a period scaled to the class. Class IV and Class V subjects are referred to PR-400-21 for identity anchoring before return or release. Reconstructed memory is confirmed for internal consistency; it is an approximation, not a restoration of any prior state.

Civilian witnesses. Reconstructed civilian memory is aligned with the active Civilian Communication for the incident (Department of Aberrant Incidents). Where a phenomenon is classified self-normalizing under REG-800-12, no amnestic is administered to civilian witnesses; civilian observation of such phenomena does not constitute a disclosure event.

Bureau personnel. Personnel are reconfigured following exposure where containment or security requires it. Administration is not contingent on self-report: an affected subject frequently cannot perceive their own compromise, and the absence of a complaint is not evidence against the need for the procedure.

Some anomalies resist, invert, or propagate through amnestic intervention; suspected resistance suspends administration and is escalated. Apparent normalcy following a procedure is not confirmation of success, and post-procedure monitoring is maintained at the level appropriate to the class. Class V is irreversible and is reserved for terminal cases; it is not a containment convenience.
