Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 201
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Director to establish annual goals for mortgage purchases related to multifamily housing affordable to low-income families. It also provides factors for consideration and requires the Director to establish “additional requirements” for very low-income families, further narrowing the agency’s discretion. The statute identifies a specific gap and directs the agency to fill it via regulation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S. Code § 4563(a)(1) states “The Director shall, by regulation, establish a single annual goal…” This language directly mandates that the Director issue regulations to establish the goal.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4563
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Director to establish an annual goal for multifamily housing purchases. It also lists factors the Director must consider in establishing the goal, indicating a specific regulatory task with some constraints. Even though the Director has discretion to adjust certain parameters, the statute clearly defines the regulatory objective.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S. Code § 4563(a)(1) states “The Director shall, by regulation, establish a single annual goal…”. The word “shall” directly mandates the regulation.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1282
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4564
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 201
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides a specific regulatory task: it details the circumstances under which the Director may adjust housing goals based on petitions from enterprises, and lays out standards and procedures for making this determination, including the requirement for public comment. While the language contains some open-ended terms like “market and economic conditions,” it is within the context of a clearly defined process.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4564 explicitly allows enterprises to petition the Director to reduce housing goals or subgoals. The Director may reduce the goals if certain conditions are met, but is not mandated to do so. Therefore, the statute authorizes the regulation but does not mandate it. The regulation at 12 CFR Part 1282 implements the enterprise housing goals discussed in the statute.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4564
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides a clear regulatory task: the Director can reduce housing goals if certain conditions related to market, economic, or financial factors are met. This is not a general grant of authority, but rather a specific task tied to defined circumstances. The statute outlines the process for doing so, including public comment and determination timelines. The use of terms like “market and economic conditions” and “financial condition of the enterprise” gives discretion, but it’s discretion tied directly to the specific regulatory task of adjusting housing goals.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4564, authorizes the Director to reduce the level of any housing goal or subgoal under specific conditions if petitioned by an enterprise. While the statute empowers the Director to act, it doesn’t mandate them to do so. The phrase “may reduce the level” indicates authorization, not a mandate. Therefore, the relationship is authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4547
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Director of the FHFA to require enterprises to charge guarantee fees and also specifies a minimum increase. While the Director has discretion in determining the precise amount above the minimum and in phasing in the increase, the statute clearly tasks the agency with a specific regulatory objective related to guarantee fees. The statute limits the Director’s discretion, furthering a specific mandate.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. 4547 authorizes the Director to require enterprises to charge guarantee fees and limit offers for guarantees, but does not mandate every detail of how this should be implemented. The statute provides a framework, but the specifics of implementation are left to the Director, making it authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4548
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute gives very specific instructions regarding credit scoring models and directs the agency to validate and approve the credit scoring models, ensuring that they meet specific requirements listed in other sections of the U.S. Code.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly states “The Director shall””(1) by regulation, establish standards and criteria…” and “(2) ensure that any credit scoring model… meets the requirements…” which directly mandates the agency to create regulations.

The statute clearly instructs the Director to establish specific types of housing goals (single-family and multifamily) and even references further sections (4562 and 4563) which give even more specifics. While it uses broad terms like “appropriate adjustments,” the specific task of establishing housing goals is clearly defined.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4561(a) explicitly states “The Director shall, by regulation, establish effective for 2010 and each year thereafter, annual housing goals.” This is a direct mandate to create regulations.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4561
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute directs the agency (Director) to establish specific single-family and multifamily housing goals, referencing further sections that define these goals with more granularity (sections 4562 and 4563). While the Director has some discretion, the statute lays out a specific regulatory task (setting housing goals) and even provides some elements to be included in those goals. The statute includes open-ended terms like “appropriate” adjustments but falls within the Specific Authority Delegation category

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly states “The Director shall, by regulation, establish effective for 2010 and each year thereafter, annual housing goals…” This is a direct mandate to create regulations.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1282
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4562
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 201
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute explicitly instructs the Director to establish specific types of mortgage goals for specific categories of families (low-income, families in low-income areas, very low-income). While there is some discretion in how the Director achieves these goals and the percentage targets, the what and who are laid out with substantial clarity in the statute. Additionally, factors like national housing needs, economic conditions and the financial condition of the enterprises are included to guide the agency in establishing the goal targets under subsection (e)(2)(B), which provides further instructions, further exemplifying Specific Authority Delegation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute, specifically 12 U.S.C. § 4562(a) and (e), uses “shall, by regulation” to instruct the Director to establish annual goals and targets. This language creates a direct mandate for the agency to issue regulations.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4542
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the Director on a particular regulatory task: establishing and maintaining a method of assessing the national average 1-family house price. While the Director has some flexibility in choosing which indexes to consider beyond those explicitly named (using “any other indexes or measures that the Director considers appropriate”), the core regulatory task is clearly defined. The statute directs the director to carry out a very specific function (creating an index) and even specifies what data they should take into account to that end.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4542, explicitly directs the Director to establish and maintain a method for assessing the national average 1-family house price. While it mandates this action, the statute also provides the Director with discretion to consider “any other indexes or measures that the Director considers appropriate,” thus authorizing but not mandating specific regulatory choices beyond the core directive. Therefore, the statute-regulation relationship is authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4543
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Director on the specific regulatory task of making mortgage information public, including the specific data to be included (census tract level) and what not to include (proprietary data). The statute prescribes how the director should enact the legislation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4543 directly mandates the Director to make data available to the public, fulfilling a very specific task.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4544
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides a very specific task for the Director: to create an annual housing report with explicitly defined contents and data collection methods. The “other matters as the Director determines to be appropriate” clause does grant some discretion, but it’s tethered to the overarching specific goal of assisting the Director in analyzing the matters described in subsection (b), making the delegation specific rather than general.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute directly mandates the Director to submit an annual housing report based on analysis of other reports. It is a specific requirement, not merely authorized.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4545
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides specific instructions on what the regulations must accomplish, such as prohibiting discrimination, requiring data submission, directing remedial actions, and reviewing underwriting guidelines. While there is some discretion in how these tasks are carried out, the statute clearly identifies the regulatory tasks and provides concrete objectives.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4545 explicitly states that “The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall””(1) by regulation, prohibit each enterprise from discriminating…” and continues to list several other requirements prefaced by “by regulation.” This directly mandates the creation of regulations.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4546
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While parts of the statute are mandatory, there are also permissive elements. Subsection (a) provides discretion to the Director in determining what information shall be treated as proprietary, but it is tethered to specific statutory sections (4543, 1723a(n)(3), 1456(f)(3)). Subsection (d) mandates the Director to disclose certain mortgage data, referencing the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and section 4544(b)(6), indicating a specific regulatory task. These connections to other statutes demonstrate a specific delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

Subsection (a) uses “may, by regulation or order, provide…” which authorizes regulation but does not mandate it. Subsection (d) uses “shall, by regulation or order, provide…” which mandates regulation. Since part of the statute authorizes regulation but does not mandate it, the answer is (b).

Regulation: 5 CFR Part 9001
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4526
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 42
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute does instruct the Director to issue regulations, it does so in broad terms (“necessary to carry out the duties of the Director…and to ensure that the purposes…are accomplished”). It doesn’t specify particular regulations to address specific gaps or tasks. Thus, it falls under the category of providing broad rulemaking authority, aligning with a General Authority delegation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute (12 U.S.C. § 4526) explicitly states that “The Director shall issue any regulations, guidelines, or orders necessary to carry out the duties of the Director under this chapter or the authorizing statutes, and to ensure that the purposes of this chapter and the authorizing statutes are accomplished.” This directly mandates the issuance of regulations. The provided regulation, 5 CFR Part 9001, lists 12 U.S.C. 4526 in its authority section, confirming that it is issued pursuant to this statutory mandate.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4527
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute directs the agency to adopt data standards for specific information collections, indicating a specific regulatory task rather than a broad grant of authority. Also, the law refers to section 5334, further specifying its focus.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly states that “The Agency shall, by rule, adopt data standards…” This is a direct mandate to engage in rulemaking.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4528
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically instructs the agency to make public data assets available as open government data, downloadable, in human-readable format, and accessible via API where appropriate. It identifies a particular task related to data publication, providing clear instructions on how the agency should handle its public data assets. Even with the open-ended “where appropriate,” it still fits the “Specific Authority” definition.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4528, mandates the publication of agency data as open government data assets. The regulation, 24 CFR Part 81, governs the Secretary of HUD’s oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While both pertain to agencies and their operations, the statute’s specific focus on data publication and the regulation’s broader focus on housing finance oversight mean they are related (both concern agency actions) but neither directly mandates nor explicitly authorizes the other. The statute could implicitly authorize additional regulatory touchpoints by the agency in relation to ensuring data publication, but this is not explicit.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1253
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4541
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 32
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Director on a specific regulatory task: requiring prior approval for new products of enterprises. It defines the approval process, standards for approval (public interest, safety, soundness, and authorization under specific sections of other statutes), and even procedures for expedited review and temporary approvals.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly mandates that the Director shall require enterprises to obtain approval for any product before initially offering it. The regulation directly implements this statutory mandate by establishing the process and requirements for obtaining that approval.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4541
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Director on a specific regulatory task: to require and approve products of enterprises, setting standards and procedures for approval. While terms like “public interest” and “safety and soundness” are open-ended, the overall directive is targeted.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Director to require approval for products but doesn’t explicitly mandate regulations for every aspect. Subsections like 4541(c)(1) and 4541(e)(2)(A) use phrases such as “as prescribed by order or regulation of the Director” and “The Director shall establish, by regulation, the form and content of such written notice,” indicating authorization but not a strict mandate.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1273
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4526
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 138
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute instructs the Director to issue regulations necessary to carry out their duties and accomplish the purposes of the chapter, it does not identify any specific regulatory tasks or gaps that need to be addressed. The statute uses open-ended terms like “necessary” which could be interpreted as either specific or general authority. The broad nature of the mandate to “carry out the duties of the director” without specifying how regulations are to achieve that aim suggests general rulemaking authority.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4526(a) explicitly states that the Director “shall issue any regulations, guidelines, or orders necessary to carry out the duties of the Director under this chapter or the authorizing statutes, and to ensure that the purposes of this chapter and the authorizing statutes are accomplished.” This represents a direct mandate to issue regulations. The regulation cites 4526(a) in its authority section, confirming the direct relationship.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1274
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4526
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 10
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute grants the Director broad authority to issue regulations “necessary to carry out the duties of the Director” and “to ensure that the purposes of this chapter and the authorizing statutes are accomplished.” It doesn’t specify particular regulatory tasks but provides general rulemaking power tied to the agency’s overall mission.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly states that the Director “shall issue any regulations, guidelines, or orders necessary to carry out the duties of the Director under this chapter or the authorizing statutes, and to ensure that the purposes of this chapter and the authorizing statutes are accomplished.” The regulation 12 CFR Part 1274 directly relates to carrying out those duties by establishing requirements for financial statements of the banks, as the statute mandates.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1277
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4526
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 205
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute refers to the “duties of the Director” and “purposes of this chapter,” it doesn’t specify how the Director should achieve these duties or purposes through regulation. It uses broad language like “necessary” to carry out duties and accomplish purposes of the chapter. This falls under the “General Authority” as defined by Hickman’s framework. It offers flexibility but lacks specificity about which regulations to make.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly states that “The Director shall issue any regulations, guidelines, or orders necessary to carry out the duties of the Director under this chapter or the authorizing statutes, and to ensure that the purposes of this chapter and the authorizing statutes are accomplished.” This is a direct mandate to issue regulations.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1282
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4526
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 201
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute directs the Director to issue regulations, it doesn’t provide specific regulatory tasks. The statute uses broad language, empowering the Director to issue regulations deemed “necessary” to carry out their duties and accomplish the chapter’s purpose. This falls under the umbrella of providing broad rulemaking authority without identifying precise regulatory objectives.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4526(a) explicitly states the Director “shall issue any regulations, guidelines, or orders necessary to carry out the duties of the Director under this chapter or the authorizing statutes, and to ensure that the purposes of this chapter and the authorizing statutes are accomplished.” This is a direct mandate to issue regulations. The regulation at 12 CFR Part 1282 is explicitly authorized by 12 USC 4526, as listed in the regulation’s authority.
