12 U.S. Code § 4612(d)(3) explicitly requires the Director to issue regulations establishing standards and procedures related to temporary increases in minimum capital levels. Part 1225 fulfills this direct mandate.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4601
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the enterprises to conduct a study reviewing underwriting guidelines and examining factors that inhibit mortgage access for certain populations. The statute includes specific areas of focus for the study (mixed-use neighborhoods, low-income families, down payment requirements, etc.). Although the statute does not require any immediate or specific regulatory action based on the study’s conclusions it tasks agencies with reporting “recommendations” based on the study, so a subsequent regulation altering practices or guidelines could be seen as arising from the report and thus traceable back to the statute. This specificity places it within the “Specific Authority” delegation category.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute mandates a study and report, but it does not explicitly mandate the creation of regulations to implement the recommendations arising from the study. However, the broader statutory authority provided in 12 U.S.C. 4501-4641, cited in the regulation’s authority section, authorizes HUD to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the “enterprises” referenced in the statute). Therefore, regulations addressing underwriting guidelines are authorized but not directly mandated by this specific statute.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4602
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Comptroller General, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Director of the Congressional Budget Office to conduct studies on the privatization of FNMA and FHLMC. It dictates the content of those studies via its requirements, thus it is a specific instruction.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute directs specific agencies to conduct studies and report to Congress. While 24 CFR Part 81 concerns HUD’s regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, 12 U.S.C. § 4602 mandates studies related to the potential privatization of these entities and doesn’t directly mandate or authorize the regulation outlined in the CFR. It is related because it concerns the same entities and their possible future status, which could affect how they are regulated.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4603
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute doesn’t instruct the agency on a specific regulatory task. It references regulations created under other statutes (Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act) and provides for a transition period related to their existence. These parent statutes contain broad authorities which enable the creation of 24 CFR Part 81.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute refers to rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary pursuant to the Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act. It allows these regulations to remain in effect, be modified, terminated, superseded, or revoked. This indicates that the statute authorizes the creation of regulations, but it doesn’t mandate any specific regulation.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 201
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 461
Agency: Federal Reserve System
Restrictions: 47
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute instructs the Board to “prescribe such regulations as it may deem necessary,” it does not provide highly specific instructions beyond the overall goal of “effectuate the purposes of this section and to prevent evasions thereof.” This falls under the umbrella of providing “broad rulemaking authority without specific regulatory tasks identified.”

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly authorizes the Board to prescribe regulations necessary to effectuate the purposes of the section and prevent evasions. This is a direct mandate to regulate.

Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4585
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. 4501-4641 is listed as authority for 24 CFR Part 81.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4586
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute gives the director the ability to decide what is in the public interest and gives them the authority to disclose certain documents. The language in 12 U.S.C. § 4586(a) provides the Director with the power to redact for public interest. This is specific authority even though the terms are open-ended.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Director to disclose certain information to the public, but it does not mandate any specific regulations to be created. The regulations could provide more specific guidance on how the director should make these disclosures or handle exceptions, but these regulations are not directly mandated in 12 U.S.C. § 4586.

The statute authorizes actions related to administrative proceedings but does not mandate any specific regulation concerning subpoena power. The regulation is broader in scope than just subpoena authority.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4589
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 4589 explicitly relates to the issuance of final regulations to implement “this part,” creating a direct mandate for regulation. While the specific section is repealed, the nature of the delegation remains clear in the historical context.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4569
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

12 U.S. Code § 4569 (j)(1) states: “The Secretary of the Treasury shall issue regulations to carry out this section.” This clearly instructs the agency (Treasury) on a specific regulatory task: to create regulations to implement the Capital Magnet Fund program outlined in the statute. Further, 12 U.S. Code § 4569 (j)(2) goes on to list “required contents” for these regulations, including audit authority and application/selection process requirements. These are specific instructions.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4569 (Capital Magnet Fund) concerns the Secretary of the Treasury and the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. 24 CFR Part 81 concerns the Secretary of HUD’s regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While both relate to housing, the statute doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the HUD regulation. The authority for 24 CFR Part 81, cited in the regulation, does include 12 U.S.C. 4501 et seq, which is the general section of the statute creating the Federal Housing Finance Agency and some of its authorities.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4581

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4583 addresses judicial review of final orders issued by the Director under sections 4581 and 4585 of Title 12. 24 CFR Part 81 relates to the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, referencing 12 U.S.C. 4501-4641 as part of its authority. While § 4583 doesn’t explicitly mandate any specific regulation within 24 CFR Part 81, the broader authority granted by 12 U.S.C. 4501-4641, under which § 4583 falls, authorizes the agency to create regulations addressing actions reviewable in court.

Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4565
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 201
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute provides broad goals (serving underserved markets), it specifically instructs the Director on how to evaluate compliance with these goals “by regulation” and lays out factors to consider in that evaluation (development of loan products, outreach, volume of loans, investments/grants). This moves it away from being purely a General Authority delegation and closer to Specific Authority.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

Subsection (d)(1) explicitly states “The Director shall, by regulation, establish effective for 2010 and thereafter a manner for evaluating whether, and the extent to which, the enterprises have complied with the duty under subsection (a)”.
