Sec. 27.5  Review.



    The Complainant or the FBI may request, within 30 calendar days of a 

final determination or corrective action order by the Director, review 

by the Deputy Attorney General of that determination or order. The 

Deputy Attorney General shall set aside or modify the Director's 

actions, findings, or conclusions found to be arbitrary, capricious, an 

abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law; obtained 

without procedures required by law, rule, or regulation having been 

followed; or unsupported by substantial evidence. The Deputy Attorney 

General has full discretion to review and modify corrective action 

ordered by the Director, provided, however that if the Deputy Attorney 

General upholds a finding that there has been a reprisal, then the 

Deputy Attorney general shall order appropriate corrective action.
