Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 93
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute provides broad authority, it also explicitly instructs the director to ensure regulated entities operate in a safe and sound manner, which provides a specific regulatory task. The regulation “Advances” directly falls under the “safe and sound manner” principal duty, and as such it is “Clearly instructing an agency on a specific regulatory task or gap, even using open-ended terms like “appropriate,” “reasonable,” or “necessary.””

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4513 explicitly gives the Director duties overseeing regulated entities and ensuring their safe and sound operation, while 12 CFR Part 1266 concerns the conditions under which advances are given to members. Given 12 USC 4513(a)(1)B(i), a regulation concerning “advances” relates to ensuring regulated entities operate in a safe and sound manner, the statute directly mandates the regulation.

Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 5

While the statute mentions specific duties, it provides broad authority for the Director to implement regulations to achieve these goals. For example, section 4513(a)(1) gives the director the duty to ensure regulated entities operate in a safe and sound manner, including the maintenance of adequate capital and internal controls. The specific requirements for standby letters of credit in Part 1269 are not specifically mentioned in the statute, meaning it falls under the general authority to ensure safe and sound operations.

12 U.S.C. § 4513 grants the Director broad authority to oversee and regulate the regulated entities. While it specifies duties like ensuring safe and sound operations and compliance with regulations, it provides wide latitude in how the Director achieves these goals.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4513, authorizes the Director to oversee the prudential operations of regulated entities and ensure their safe and sound operation, compliance with regulations, and consistency with the public interest.

While 12 U.S.C. § 4513 provides broad authority, the regulation focuses on a specific area – the validation and approval of credit score models. This aligns with the “Specific Authority Delegations” because it instructs the agency (Director) on a specific regulatory task, i.e., ensuring the validity and proper use of credit score models by regulated entities. The statute utilizes open ended terms, for instance, requiring entities to “operate in a safe and sound manner,” indicating that specific regulation on credit score models would fall under specific authority delegation.

Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 25
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute provides duties such as “to oversee the prudential operations of each regulated entity” and “to ensure that each regulated entity operates in a safe and sound manner,” it offers broad rulemaking authority concerning the prudential management and safe operation of regulated entities.

Restrictions: 112
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the language of 12 U.S.C. 4513 is broad, empowering the Director to oversee operations, ensuring safety and soundness, and acting in the public interest, the regulation (12 CFR Part 1242) focuses on resolution planning which fits under “prudential operations” and “safe and sound manner” of regulated entities. The statute identifies tasks and uses “appropriate”, and “necessary” type language in section (a)(2)(B). Therefore, the delegation fits into the Specific Authority Delegation category.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated

Restrictions: 11
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically outlines the Director’s duties to oversee regulated entities’ operations in a “safe and sound manner, including maintenance of adequate capital and internal controls” and to ensure they comply with rules, regulations, and orders. This directly relates to regulations about reporting fraudulent financial instruments as a component of maintaining safe operations and internal controls.

Restrictions: 62
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the Director for ensuring the safe and sound operation of regulated entities, but does not specifically instruct the agency to establish a suspended counterparty program. The authority for such a program is implied from the Director’s general duties to oversee prudential operations and ensure compliance with regulations.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Director to oversee the prudential operations of regulated entities and ensure their safe and sound operation, which could reasonably lead to the creation of a suspended counterparty program to mitigate risks.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4513 outlines the duties and authorities of the Director. While it doesn’t directly mandate the specific regulations found in 12 CFR Part 1228, it authorizes the Director to oversee the prudential operations of regulated entities and ensure they operate in a safe and sound manner.

12 U.S.C. § 4513(a)(1)(B)(i) clearly instructs the Director to ensure regulated entities operate in a safe and sound manner, including maintenance of adequate capital. While the statute uses the term “adequate,” it falls under the “Specific Authority” category because it instructs the agency on a specific regulatory task (capital and internal controls). This is further supported by the explicit reference of 4513 as the authority in the regulation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly outlines the duties and authorities of the Director related to overseeing regulated entities, ensuring their safe and sound operation, and compliance with regulations. The regulation (12 CFR Part 1229) on capital classifications and prompt corrective action directly falls within the scope of ensuring safe and sound operations and maintaining adequate capital, as mandated by 12 U.S.C. § 4513(a)(1)(B)(i).
