                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
    CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 103_FAIR HOUSING_COMPLAINT PROCESSING--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart D_Investigation Procedures
 
Sec. 103.205  Systemic processing.

    Where the Assistant Secretary determines that the alleged 
discriminatory practices contained in a complaint are pervasive or 
institutional in nature, or that the processing of the complaint will 
involve complex issues, novel questions of fact or law, or will affect a 
large number of persons, the Assistant Secretary may identify the 
complaint for systemic processing. This determination can be based on 
the face of the complaint or on information gathered in connection with 
an investigation. Systemic investigations may focus not only on 
documenting facts involved in the alleged discriminatory housing 
practice that is the subject of the complaint but also on review of 
other policies and procedures related to matters under investigation, to 
make sure that they also comply with the nondiscrimination requirements 
of the Fair Housing Act.
