The statute clearly instructs the agency (Secretary) on the specific regulatory task of awarding Life-Saving medals, and provides criteria for awarding gold vs. silver medals.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

14 U.S. Code § 2744(a) explicitly states “The Secretary may, under regulations prescribed by him, award a Life-saving medal…”, directly mandating the relationship between the statute and the regulation.

Regulation: 33 CFR Part 55
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 2922
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 4
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute grants broad authority to provide child development services, it also specifies regulatory tasks. Subsection (b)(2)(A) authorizes the Commandant to establish fees by regulations. Subsection (c) mandates the Secretary to promulgate regulations and specifically directs them to establish fees that consider family income. These are specific regulatory tasks.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

14 U.S.C. 2922(c) explicitly states: “The Secretary shall promulgate regulations to implement this section.” This direct mandate signifies a directly mandated statute-regulation relationship. The CFR explicitly cites 14 U.S.C. 2922 as its authority.

Regulation: 33 CFR Part 5
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 3901
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 26
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 14 U.S.C. § 3901 specifies certain aspects (organization, administration, delegation to officers), it provides broad authority to the Commandant to grant “such rights, privileges, powers, and duties as may be granted to them by the Commandant, consistent with this title and other applicable provisions of law” and allows delegation in the manner and extent the Commandant deems necessary or appropriate. This broad language and lack of specific regulatory tasks fits Hickman’s definition of General Authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

14 U.S.C. § 3901 authorizes the Commandant, under the direction of the Secretary, to administer the Coast Guard Auxiliary and grant them rights, privileges, powers, and duties. It also allows the Commandant to delegate authority, but does not mandate specific regulations. The existence of 33 CFR Part 5, which details aspects of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, shows that this authorization has been acted upon, but wasn’t strictly required.

Regulation: 33 CFR Part 5
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 3902
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 26
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 14 U.S.C. § 3902 specifies the purpose of the Auxiliary, it gives the Commandant broad authority to determine the extent to which the Auxiliary will assist the Coast Guard. The statute does not instruct the agency on a specific regulatory task. The regulation fleshes out membership, activities, equipment and other operational details of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, indicating broad rulemaking authority. Therefore, this falls under General Authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 14 U.S.C. § 3902, outlines the purpose of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and delegates authority to the Commandant to authorize the Auxiliary in performing Coast Guard functions. The regulation, 33 CFR Part 5, governs the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Since the statute grants the Commandant authority regarding the Auxiliary’s functions, but doesn’t mandate specific regulations to be created, the relationship is best classified as authorized but not mandated. The statute establishes the framework for the Auxiliary’s operations, and the regulation fills in the details of that framework.

Regulation: 33 CFR Part 80
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 102
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 19
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

14 U.S.C. § 102(3) clearly instructs the Coast Guard to promote safety of life and property at sea through regulations, thus tasking the agency with a specific regulatory goal. While the statute uses open-ended terms, like “promotion of safety,” the connection to a specific regulatory outcome (safety of life and property at sea) makes this a specific authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

14 U.S.C. 102(3) authorizes the Coast Guard to “promulgate and enforce regulations for the promotion of safety of life and property on and under the high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States”. The COLREGS Demarcation Lines regulation (33 CFR Part 80) implements this authority by defining the boundaries where specific international navigation rules apply, thereby contributing to safety of life and property at sea. The statute authorizes the regulation, but does not mandate it. The CFR authority listing also references 14 U.S.C. 503 and 33 U.S.C. 151(a).

Regulation: 33 CFR Part 82
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 102
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 14 U.S.C. § 102(3) tasks the Coast Guard with promoting safety, it does so in broad terms, not specifying which safety regulations or gaps need addressing. The delegation provides broad rulemaking authority without a specific regulatory task, fitting the definition of a General Authority delegation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

14 U.S.C. § 102(3) explicitly directs the Coast Guard to “administer laws and promulgate and enforce regulations for the promotion of safety of life and property on and under the high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” 33 CFR Part 82 provides interpretative rules for COLREGS (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea), thus directly relating to the safety of life and property at sea, as mandated by the statute.

Regulation: 46 CFR Part 4
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 102
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 195
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

Although 14 U.S.C. § 102(3) provides authority for the Coast Guard to promote safety, it does not specifically identify the precise regulatory tasks or gaps that require addressing. While it mentions promoting safety of life and property, it leaves it to the agency’s discretion to determine the specific regulations needed. This broad delegation of rulemaking authority, without specific regulatory tasks outlined, classifies it as a General Authority delegation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

14 U.S.C. § 102(3) directs the Coast Guard to “administer laws and promulgate and enforce regulations for the promotion of safety of life and property on and under the high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” 46 CFR Part 4 establishes regulations for marine casualties and investigations, which directly relates to the promotion of safety of life and property.

Regulation: 48 CFR Part 3049
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 1155
Agency: Department of Homeland Security
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute, 14 U.S.C. § 1155, directly instructs the Coast Guard Commandant on specific tasks related to contract termination, including notifying vendors, requiring the maintenance of work product, and imposing penalties. While it may require interpretation and fleshing out through regulation, the statute provides clear direction and outlines the specific regulatory task the agency should perform. Therefore it falls under the Specific Authority delegation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The regulation, 48 CFR Part 3049, explicitly cites 14 U.S.C. § 1155 as its authority. This indicates a direct mandate, as the regulation is implementing the requirements outlined in the statute regarding contract terminations by the Coast Guard.

Regulation: 33 CFR Part 40
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 1922
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 2
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Secretary to create regulations regarding specific aspects of cadet appointments such as age limits, methods of selection, and term of service. While the phrasing is somewhat open-ended, the identification of specific regulatory tasks classifies this as specific authority.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly states “Appointments to cadetships shall be made under regulations prescribed by the Secretary.” This directly mandates rulemaking.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 81
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

Although 13 U.S.C § 81 does not grant broad rulemaking authority, it instructs the Secretary on a specific regulatory task – collecting and publishing quarterly statistics. While “collect” and “publish” may leave room for interpretation, the specificity places it in the “Specific Authority” category. The Secretary will likely have to issue further instruction on how this data is accessed and disseminated in order to effectively complete this task,

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

While 13 U.S.C. is listed in the authority section of the regulation, 13 U.S.C § 81 doesn’t explicitly authorize or mandate the specific access to records detailed in 28 CFR Part 513. The statute concerns the collection and publication of statistics, whereas the regulation concerns access to records of the Department of Justice. However, general authority under 13 U.S.C. could plausibly be related to the regulation of access to information held by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 9
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 13 U.S.C. is cited as an authority for 28 CFR Part 513, the regulation’s broader scope concerning access to records and information release indicates a general authority delegation. The regulation covers various types of information beyond just census data, and addresses law enforcement and other agency needs, indicating a broad rulemaking authority rather than specific regulatory tasks dictated by 13 U.S.C. § 9.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. is listed in the authority section of the regulation, so the regulation is authorized, but not mandated, by the statute.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 91
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Secretary of Commerce on specific tasks related to collecting and publishing quarterly financial statistics. While it grants some discretion (e.g., “Except to the extent determined otherwise by the Secretary on the basis of changed circumstances”), the core mandate is specific, fitting within the Specific Authority Delegation category. Furthermore, the statute outlines specific criteria for survey participation (asset thresholds, participation history), indicating a tailored regulatory task.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 91 is listed in the authority section for the regulation. While the statute broadly authorizes the Secretary to collect and publish financial statistics, the regulations concern access to records more generally, suggesting an authorized, but not directly mandated relationship.

Regulation: 33 CFR Part 1
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 102
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 88
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute grants the Coast Guard broad authority to make regulations for the promotion of safety of life and property without specifically defining the content of those regulations. It is therefore a broad grant of rulemaking authority, fitting the definition of general authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

14 U.S. Code § 102(3) authorizes the Coast Guard to “administer laws and promulgate and enforce regulations for the promotion of safety of life and property on and under the high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, covering all matters not specifically delegated by law to some other executive department.” 33 CFR Part 1 contains general provisions relating to the Coast Guard, including rulemaking procedures and enforcement, falling under this authorization. While the statute authorizes this rulemaking, it doesn’t mandate the creation of Part 1 specifically.

Regulation: 33 CFR Part 26
Authorizing Statute: 14 U.S. Code § 102
Agency: Coast Guard
Restrictions: 31
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

14 U.S.C. § 102(3) grants the Coast Guard broad authority to “administer laws and promulgate and enforce regulations for the promotion of safety of life and property on and under the high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” While the statute mentions safety, it doesn’t identify specific regulatory tasks. Instead, it delegates a wide-ranging power for the Coast Guard to regulate for safety purposes.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

33 CFR Part 26 explicitly cites 14 U.S.C. 102 as its authority. Therefore, the regulation is directly mandated by the statute.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 7
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute grants broad authority to the Secretary regarding printing and publishing census information. While it specifies the type of information (census bulletins and reports), it provides broad discretion regarding the manner of publication and distribution, and does not identify specific regulatory tasks or gaps to be filled. The term “in such editions as he deems necessary” further emphasizes the broad discretionary nature of the authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 7 authorizes the Secretary to make requisitions for printing and publish bulletins and reports, but it does not mandate specific regulations regarding access to those records. It provides the authority for the Secretary to disseminate information.

Regulation: 15 CFR Part 50
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 8
Agency: Census Bureau
Restrictions: 20
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute grants discretion, it does so within a clearly defined context. The statute delineates what the Secretary can provide (transcripts, statistical materials), to whom (respondents, government entities, the public), and under what conditions (payment of costs, limitations of sections 6(c) and 9). The statute instructs on a specific regulatory task to develop fees and processes for providing census data. Thus, it gives specific authority to the Secretary.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to furnish certain data and services, but it does not mandate the issuance of regulations concerning those services. The “may” language is permissive, not mandatory.

Regulation: 15 CFR Part 80
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 8
Agency: Census Bureau
Restrictions: 10
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Secretary on the regulatory task of furnishing authenticated transcripts or copies of reports and other statistical materials. It identifies who the materials can be furnished to (respondents, heirs, etc.), sets limitations (sections 6(c) and 9 of Title 13), specifies conditions (payment of costs), and prohibits the detrimental use of information. These are specific guidelines for a regulatory task, even though the statute uses the word “may”.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 13 U.S.C. § 8, authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to furnish census data under certain conditions. The regulation, 15 CFR Part 80, implements this authorization by establishing rules and requirements for furnishing personal census data. The statute permits, but does not mandate, the agency to create these rules; it’s within the Secretary’s discretion.

Regulation: 22 CFR Part 503
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 8
Agency: Broadcasting Board of Governors
Restrictions: 37
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

13 U.S.C. § 8 gives the Secretary of Commerce authority related to authenticated transcripts, copies of reports, and data. While the statute uses the permissive “may,” it identifies a specific task (furnishing data and reports) and authorizes the agency to receive fees for services related to that task. The agency, in turn, would likely create rules/regulation regarding this and its costs.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The regulation 22 CFR Part 503 explicitly cites 13 U.S.C. § 8 in its authority section. This indicates a direct mandate, as the regulation is being promulgated, at least in part, to implement or relate to the provisions outlined in the statute, specifically those related to fees.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 8
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

13 U.S.C. § 8 provides specific authority by enabling the Secretary of Commerce to furnish particular types of census-related information (transcripts, copies, statistical materials) to specific entities (respondents, government agencies, etc.) under defined conditions (payment of costs, adherence to confidentiality). Although some discretion is afforded, the statute identifies specific regulatory actions and areas for the Secretary to act, and thus, it is a specific authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 13 U.S.C. § 8, authorizes the Secretary to furnish transcripts, copies, tabulations, and statistical materials under certain conditions. It does not mandate that the Secretary must do so in every instance. The regulation, 28 CFR Part 513, governs access to records within the Department of Justice, including FBI/NCIC information, release of information to law enforcement agencies, and other general rules for release of information. While 13 U.S.C. is listed in the Authority section, which implies that it informs rules regarding access to records, it is not explicitly mandated that every provision in 28 CFR part 513 be based on 13 U.S.C. § 8. The Department of Justice is permitted to refer to the guidance of 13 U.S.C. § 8, but is not compelled to, fitting with the category, authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 5
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

13 U.S.C. § 5 specifically instructs the Secretary to prepare questionnaires and determine inquiries for statistics, surveys, and censuses. This is a specific task, even though it involves a certain degree of discretion in how the Secretary performs the task. This qualifies as a Specific Authority Delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The regulation at 28 CFR Part 513 cites 13 U.S.C. as an authority. This indicates that the statute authorizes the regulation, but doesn’t explicitly mandate it. The regulation concerns access to records, which could be related to how the Census Bureau, under the Secretary of Commerce, manages the information it collects, but the connection is not a direct mandate.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 6
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute grants the Secretary broad discretion to acquire information, but it doesn’t specify the exact regulatory tasks or gaps that need to be addressed regarding access to those records. The statute generally supports the Secretary’s authority to conduct censuses and surveys, and Section 6 enhances that authority by allowing the Secretary to gather data. Therefore, the regulations flowing from this statute would be considered to stem from a general authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to collect information, which could reasonably lead to regulations about access to those records, but does not mandate any specific regulations. The “Authority” section of 28 CFR Part 513 explicitly cites “13 U.S.C.”, indicating this connection.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 61
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute primarily focuses on data collection and publication, the “Authority” section of the regulation lists “13 U.S.C.” as one of the statutes giving it authority. It instructs the agency on tasks related to managing the information it is required to collect, collate, and publish.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to collect, collate, and publish specific statistics. While it mandates this activity, the regulation concerns access to records, which is authorized as a reasonable means to fulfilling the core mandates of 13 USC 61. The statute does not explicitly mandate the precise form of regulations regarding access to the collected data.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 62
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 13 U.S.C. is cited as an authority, 13 U.S. Code § 62 provides a broad grant of authority to collect and publish statistics that the Secretary deems to be in the public interest, without specifying regulatory tasks. This falls under the definition of General Authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. is explicitly cited as an authority for 28 CFR Part 513. This means the statute authorizes the regulation, but it doesn’t necessarily mandate it. The regulation’s focus on access to records, including FBI/NCIC information, aligns with the general authority given to the Secretary in the statute to collect and publish statistics.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 63
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 13 U.S.C. § 63 does address access to statistics and prohibits duplicate collection, it does not specify the regulatory mechanism or process for providing access or resolving disputes regarding what constitutes “comparable” data collection. It provides broad authority to the Secretary, related to Title 13.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 63 provides the Secretary of Commerce access to statistics collected by other federal agencies and prohibits duplicate collection. 28 CFR Part 513 pertains to access to records, and the authority section explicitly lists “13 U.S.C.” indicating a relationship where the regulation is authorized by the statute, but not directly mandated in terms of how to provide access. The statute grants access and prohibits duplication; the regulation details the access procedures.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 41
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Secretary to collect and publish particular statistics related to cotton. While it does not mandate specific rulemaking regarding access, the instruction to “collect and publish” necessitates some procedural implementation, implicitly authorizing rules concerning access and dissemination of the collected information. Thus, this falls under specific authority as it instructs the agency on a specific regulatory task even with open-ended implications for implementation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to collect and publish statistics, but it doesn’t necessarily mandate that the Secretary create specific regulations for accessing those statistics. 28 CFR Part 513 deals with access to records, implying that the regulation is authorized by the statute insofar as the statute generates records, but doesn’t directly mandate access regulations.
