Sec. 110.33  Investigation.

    (a) Initial investigation. ED investigates complaints that are 
unresolved after mediation or reopened because of a violation of the 
mediation agreement. ED uses methods during the investigation to 
encourage voluntary resolution of the complaint, including discussions 
with the complainant and recipient to establish the facts and, if 
possible, resolve the complaint to the mutual satisfaction of the 
parties. ED may seek the assistance of any involved State, local, or 
other Federal agency.

regulations, ED attempts to achieve voluntary compliance. If ED cannot 
obtain voluntary compliance,
