whether it has jurisdiction under Section 504. If the agency does not 
have jurisdiction under Section 504, it must determine whether it is 
the designated agency responsible for complaints filed against that 
public entity under title II of the ADA. If the agency does not have 
jurisdiction under section 504 and is not the designated agency under 
title II of the ADA, it must refer the complaint to the Department of 
Justice.
