Sec. 57.2  Responsibility for the conduct of investigations.

    (a) When an instance of alleged ``discrimination'' in violation of 
section 816(b)(1) of the Act is referred to the Department of Justice by 
the Department of Defense, the matter shall be assigned initially to the 
Civil Division.
    (b)(1) If the information provided by the Department of Defense 
indicates that a non-criminal violation may have occurred and further 
investigation is warranted, such investigation shall be conducted under 
the supervision of the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Civil 
Division.
    (2) If the information provided by the Department of Defense 
indicates that a criminal violation under section 816(f) of the Act may 
have occurred, the Civil Division shall refer the matter to the Criminal 
Division. If it is determined that further investigation of a possible 
criminal violation is warranted, such investigation shall be conducted 
under the supervision of the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the 
Criminal Division.
    (3) If a referral from the Department of Defense is such that both 
civil and criminal proceedings may be warranted, responsibility for any 
further investigation may be determined by the Deputy Attorney General.
