Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 42
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

13 U.S.C. § 42 directly instructs the Secretary to collect and publish specific statistics, implicitly delegating the authority to determine the precise methods of data collection and dissemination, and therefore access to the records, to achieve the statutory goals. The agency is provided with specific details about the data required.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The regulation lists 13 U.S.C. as an authority. The statute authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to collect and publish cotton statistics but does not mandate specific regulations concerning access to those records.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 43
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs cotton ginners on what records to keep and reports to file. The regulation allows access to these records, which is a specific regulatory task that is a direct outflow of the specific authority being delegated in the statute.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. is listed as an authority for 28 CFR Part 513. The statute mandates record keeping and reporting by cotton ginners, and the regulation concerns access to records. While the statute doesn’t explicitly instruct the agency (likely the Department of Justice, given the CFR title) to create regulations governing access to these records, the regulation is plausibly authorized under the general umbrella of managing and potentially disclosing the data collected pursuant to the statute. Therefore, it is authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 44
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

Section 44 tasks the Secretary of Commerce with a specific duty: compiling and reporting on foreign cotton statistics. While it doesn’t detail how access to these records should be handled, the statute specifies the data to be collected and reported, making it a specific regulatory task. The regulations concerning access to records (28 CFR Part 513) reasonably connect to this task.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute (13 U.S.C. § 44) directs the Secretary to compile certain cotton statistics. While it doesn’t directly mandate specific regulations related to access to records, the statute falls under Title 13 U.S.C. and is explicitly listed as authority for 28 CFR Part 513, indicating the regulation is authorized by Title 13, but the specific access-to-records regulatory scheme is not mandated within section 44 itself.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 45
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

Although the statute is very specific regarding the timing and location of the release of cotton reports, it does not provide broad rulemaking authority, but rather instructs the agency on a very specific regulatory task regarding the timing of the publication.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute (13 U.S. Code § 45) mandates the simultaneous publication of cotton reports by the Department of Commerce with the cotton crop reports of the Department of Agriculture, specifying the time and date. The regulation (28 CFR Part 513) concerns access to records held by the Department of Justice (specifically the FBI). While the statute relates to the release of government information, it doesn’t directly mandate the access regulations detailed in 28 CFR Part 513. However, the regulation cites “13 U.S.C.” generally as authority, so the relationship is authorized but not directly mandated.

Regulation: 15 CFR Part 70
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 4
Agency: Census Bureau
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute refers to “functions and duties imposed upon him by this title,” which might imply some specificity, the grant of authority to issue regulations is broadly tied to carrying out those functions and duties in general. The statute doesn’t identify specific regulatory tasks or gaps, instead giving broad authority for rulemaking to execute the Title’s overall purpose. The phrase “as he deems necessary” also broadens the power.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to issue rules and regulations as “he deems necessary to carry out such functions and duties” imposed by Title 13. The language allows for rulemaking but does not mandate it in every instance; it is contingent upon the Secretary’s assessment of necessity.

Regulation: 15 CFR Part 90
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 4
Agency: Census Bureau
Restrictions: 16
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the Secretary of Commerce to issue regulations deemed “necessary” to carry out the functions and duties outlined in Title 13. It does not specify particular regulatory tasks or gaps to be filled, thus fitting the definition of a General Authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to issue rules and regulations as deemed necessary to carry out the functions and duties imposed upon them by Title 13. It does not directly mandate the issuance of any specific regulation, but provides the authority to do so.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 4
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the Secretary of Commerce to issue regulations deemed “necessary to carry out such functions and duties” imposed upon him by Title 13, without specifying particular regulatory tasks or gaps that need to be addressed.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to issue rules and regulations necessary to carry out the functions and duties imposed upon them by Title 13. While the Secretary may issue regulations, the statute doesn’t mandate it.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 401
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Bureau of the Census and the Bureau of Economic Analysis on a specific regulatory task: the exchange of information. While the Secretary of Commerce has some discretion to determine appropriateness, the statute’s core instruction is sufficiently specific.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 13 U.S.C. § 401, mandates the Bureau of the Census to exchange information with the Bureau of Economic Analysis if the Secretary of Commerce determines it is “appropriate”. This implies that regulations could be promulgated concerning the conditions and procedures of information sharing, but it is not directly mandated.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 402
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically identifies the regulatory task – the provision of business data to other statistical agencies. It lays out conditions under which this transfer may happen. This is not a blanket grant of authority, but rather a permission to act within defined parameters, making it a Specific Authority delegation even though the wording uses permissive language (“may”).

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Bureau of the Census to provide business data to other statistical agencies under specific conditions (authorized statistical purpose and written agreement). It does not mandate that they do so.

Regulation: 15 CFR Part 30
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 307
Agency: Census Bureau
Restrictions: 411
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 13 U.S.C. 307 specifically references certain sections of Title 13 that are applicable, 13 U.S.C. 301-307 as a whole provides a broader delegation of authority to the Department of Commerce regarding census matters. It doesn’t provide specific regulatory tasks beyond those mandated by the sections outlined in 307 but enables the agency to manage, administer, and prescribe rules relating to those sections. This falls under the definition of a General Authority delegation because it encompasses broad rulemaking powers beyond merely enacting specific regulatory tasks.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. 301-307 is listed in the authority section of the regulation, but not all parts of the Statute are referenced or directly mandated. The agency is authorized to create regulations based on this section, but is not necessarily mandated to create all of the regulations that it does.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 307
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute doesn’t specifically instruct the agency on a specific regulatory task in exacting detail, it does specify which sections of the broader census law are applicable. This is a selection of specific provisions to apply, rather than a purely open-ended grant of authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 307 makes specific sections of Title 13 applicable to the chapter it is within. 28 CFR Part 513 lists “13 U.S.C.” as an authority. The statute authorizes regulations related to the applicable sections, but does not mandate any specific regulation.

Regulation: 39 CFR Part 111
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 307
Agency: United States Postal Service
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While broad rulemaking authority is delegated, the statute identifies specific sections (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 21, 22, 23, 24, 211, 212, 213, and 214) of chapters 1 through 7 of Title 13 that are applicable to the chapter the statute is in. This directs the agency to specific topics and areas where rules may be required, falling into the “Specific Authority Delegations” category.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The regulation, 39 CFR Part 111, cites 13 U.S.C. 301-307 as authority. 13 U.S.C. § 307 specifically references and makes applicable select sections of Title 13, Chapters 1-7. While it doesn’t directly mandate specific regulations derived from those sections, it authorizes the agency (implicitly by connecting these sections) to create regulations relevant to the content of those specified sections. Thus, the regulation is authorized, but not mandated, by the statute.

Regulation: 39 CFR Part 20
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 307
Agency: United States Postal Service
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While 13 U.S.C. § 307 itself does not explicitly instruct the agency to perform a regulatory task or fill a gap, the statutes it references do. By making specified census-related sections of Title 13 applicable to the “chapter,” the statute implicitly references the authorities granted to the Census Bureau, and therefore the Postal Service through this “incorporation,” under those sections.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 307 is explicitly listed as authority for 39 CFR Part 20, suggesting that the regulation is authorized by the statute. The statute does not mandate specific regulatory action, but rather identifies specific sections of Title 13 that are applicable to the chapter.

Regulation: 15 CFR Part 101
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 4
Agency: Census Bureau
Restrictions: 5
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute ties the rulemaking authority to the functions and duties within Title 13, it doesn’t specify which regulatory tasks are needed or any gaps that need to be filled. It uses the open-ended term “necessary,” but this applies broadly to the functions described in the whole of Title 13.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to issue rules and regulations as “necessary to carry out such functions and duties.” This means the statute grants authority, but doesn’t explicitly mandate every regulation. The specific functions and duties imposed elsewhere in Title 13 create the framework.

Regulation: 39 CFR Part 20
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 305
Agency: United States Postal Service
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While 13 U.S.C. § 305(e) provides broad rulemaking authority, the statute itself is focused on a specific regulatory task – the implementation and enforcement of the penalties for unlawful export information activities as defined within the section. This makes it a Specific Authority Delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 305(e) explicitly states that “The Secretary of Commerce shall promulgate regulations for the implementation and enforcement of this section.” While the statute mandates rulemaking, the specific content of those regulations beyond implementation and enforcement is authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 15 CFR Part 30
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 306
Agency: Census Bureau
Restrictions: 411
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute uses the term “appropriate”, it does so in relation to the delegation of any function of the Secretary within the chapter. It doesn’t instruct the agency on a specific regulatory task. It provides broad authority to delegate.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute (13 U.S. Code § 306) authorizes the Secretary to delegate functions within Chapter 13. The regulation (15 CFR Part 30) cites 13 U.S.C. 301-307 as authority, thus the statute authorizes the regulation, but doesn’t directly mandate it.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 306
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

13 U.S.C. § 306 provides broad authority to the Secretary to delegate “any function of the Secretary, contained in this chapter.” It doesn’t specify how the Secretary should delegate or what specific regulatory tasks should be addressed through such delegations. The statute uses the open-ended term “appropriate,” but it pertains to who can perform the function, not what functions need to be delegated and the requirements surrounding those functions.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to delegate functions, but it doesn’t mandate the creation of regulations like 28 CFR Part 513 to govern access to records. The regulation implements policies related to the functions of the Secretary, which include collecting and managing data, and providing access to that data, authorized by 13 U.S.C. but not mandated.

Regulation: 39 CFR Part 111
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 306
Agency: United States Postal Service
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides the Secretary broad discretion to delegate “any function of the Secretary, contained in this chapter.” While it relates to a specific area (functions within chapter 13), it doesn’t delineate particular regulatory tasks or gaps to be addressed. The Secretary is authorized to make “such provisions as he shall deem appropriate.” This broad language points to a general delegation of authority.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 306 explicitly permits the Secretary to delegate functions contained within Chapter 13, subject to certain concurrences. This creates a direct mandate relationship between the statute and any regulation implementing such delegation. The regulation explicitly cites 13 U.S.C. 301-307 as authority.

Regulation: 39 CFR Part 20
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 306
Agency: United States Postal Service
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides the Secretary with the authority to delegate “any function of the Secretary, contained in this chapter.” This is a broad delegation without specifying which regulatory tasks or gaps need to be addressed by regulations. It’s a general authorization to delegate existing functions.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 306 authorizes the Secretary to delegate functions. The regulation, 39 CFR Part 20, cites 13 U.S.C. §§ 301-307 as authority. While the statute authorizes delegation, it doesn’t mandate specific regulations.

Regulation: 39 CFR Part 111
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 304
Agency: United States Postal Service
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Secretary of Commerce regarding the implementation of a maximum period for filing export information and allows for the imposition of penalties for delinquency. While the specific details are left to the agency’s discretion (such as the length of the maximum period), the statute clearly identifies a specific regulatory task and grants the agency the power to fill that gap, defining appropriate actions such as penalties.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. §§ 301-307 are listed as authority for 39 CFR Part 111. 13 U.S.C. § 304 falls within that range of sections. This indicates that the regulation is authorized by the statute, but not necessarily mandated. The statute provides the agency with the authority to create regulations related to the filing of export information, but it doesn’t explicitly require it.

Regulation: 39 CFR Part 20
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 304
Agency: United States Postal Service
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute explicitly grants the Secretary of Commerce the authority to “prescribe a maximum period after such departure during which the required information or reports may be filed” and to impose penalties for failure to comply. This is a clear instruction regarding a specific regulatory task, aligning with the Specific Authority Delegation category. The statute also mentions “any rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant to this chapter” related to submitting export information, indicating specific authority for implementation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 304 concerns filing export information and associated penalties. 39 CFR Part 20 governs the International Postal Service and cites 13 U.S.C. 301-307 as authority. Section 304 falls within this statutory range. While the CFR doesn’t specifically have to implement regulations related to Section 304, the authorization is there as it is within the range of sections listed as authority.

Regulation: 15 CFR Part 30
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 305
Agency: Census Bureau
Restrictions: 411
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute gives the Secretary of Commerce the power to create regulations specifically for “implementation and enforcement of this section” (§305(e)). This falls under the Specific Authority Delegation because it clearly instructs the agency on a specific regulatory task, even using terms like “implementation” and “enforcement,” which are broad but tied to a specific section.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

13 U.S. Code § 305(e) explicitly states that “The Secretary of Commerce shall promulgate regulations for the implementation and enforcement of this section.” Therefore, the statute directly mandates the regulation.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 305
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While 13 U.S. Code § 305 provides a broad grant of authority to the Secretary of Commerce to promulgate regulations, the specific task of implementation and enforcement of the section is identified. The delegation is therefore considered “Specific Authority” under Hickman’s framework because it instructs the agency on a specific regulatory task.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

13 U.S. Code § 305(e) states “The Secretary of Commerce shall promulgate regulations for the implementation and enforcement of this section.” This directly mandates the Secretary to issue regulations.

Regulation: 39 CFR Part 111
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 305
Agency: United States Postal Service
Restrictions: 0
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While subsection (e) uses general language (“implementation and enforcement”), the statute is primarily concerned with creating a very specific regulatory task or gap; ensuring regulations are promulgated to enable the enforcement of penalties for unlawful export activities. This aligns with the Specific Authority categorization.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

13 U.S.C. § 305(e) states the Secretary of Commerce “shall promulgate regulations for the implementation and enforcement of this section,” authorizing, but not mandating, regulations. Regulations are thus authorized to implement and enforce the penalty provisions of the statute but are not explicitly mandated.

Regulation: 28 CFR Part 513
Authorizing Statute: 13 U.S. Code § 303
Agency: Bureau of Prisons
Restrictions: 48
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides a specific regulatory task: defining the “form and manner” of information collection from specific entities (persons engaged in foreign commerce or trade and owners/operators of carriers). This fits Hickman’s definition of Specific Authority Delegation, even if the language “form and manner” grants some discretion.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly states the Secretary of the Treasury “shall collect information in the form and manner prescribed by the regulations issued pursuant to this chapter.” This directly mandates the creation of regulations to define the form and manner of information collection.
