 Subpart 1252.4_Investigation, Conciliation, and Enforcement Procedures

 

Sec. 1252.403  Investigation.



    (a) Informal inquiry. (1) NASA will investigate complaints that are 

unresolved after mediation or are reopened because of a violation of a 

mediation agreement.

    (2) As part of the initial inquiry, NASA will use informal fact 

finding methods, including joint or separate discussions with the 

complainant and recipient to establish the facts, and, if possible, 

settle the complaint on terms that are mutually agreeable to the 

parties. NASA may seek the assistance of any involved State agency.

    (3) NASA will put any agreement in writing and have it signed by the 

parties and an authorized official at NASA.

    (4) The settlement shall not affect the operation of any other 

enforcement effort of NASA, including compliance reviews and 

investigation of other complaints which may involve the recipient.

    (5) The settlement is not a finding of discrimination against a 

recipient.

    (b) Formal investigation. If NASA cannot resolve the complaint 

through informal means it will develop formal findings through further 

investigations of the complaint. If the investigation indicates a 

violation of these regulations, NASA will attempt to obtain voluntary 

compliance. If NASA cannot obtain voluntary compliance, it will begin 

enforcement as described in Sec. 1252.405.
