(a)The regional director must review all recommendations as to determinations after investigation made by an investigator, for accuracy of facts and legal sufficiency. The regional director shall keep a register of all determinations after investigation made by him or her after such review, with notation of the date of determination after review, and a comment if necessary.
(b)A special unit, called the review unit, will review probable cause determinations as necessary. If such unit determines that the record of investigation does not support a finding of probable cause, it may order such matter reopened and dismissed, or in the appropriate case, reopened and remanded to the regional office with instructions as to further proceedings.
