    Subpart D_Investigation, Conciliation, and Enforcement Procedures

 

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.

    (b) Formal investigation, conciliation, and hearing. If ED cannot 

resolve the complaint during the early stages of the investigation, ED 

completes the investigation of the complaint and makes formal findings. 

If the investigation indicates a violation of the Act or these 

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

obtain voluntary compliance, ED begins enforcement as described in Sec.  

110.35.
