                 CHAPTER VIII--OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
 
PART 1810--INVESTIGATIVE AUTHORITY OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1810.1  Investigative policy in discrimination complaints.

    The Special Counsel is authorized to investigate allegations of 
discrimination prohibited by law, as defined in 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(1). 
Since procedures for investigating discrimination complaints have 
already been established in the agencies and the Equal Employment 
Opportunity Commission, the Special Counsel will normally avoid 
duplicating those procedures and will defer to those procedures rather 
than initiating an independent investigation.
