Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1230
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4513
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 18
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute provides clear instructions to the Director regarding the oversight of regulated entities, their operation in a safe and sound manner, and consistency with the public interest. While terms like “safe and sound” and “public interest” are open-ended, they are still used to instruct the agency on specific regulatory tasks related to the regulated entities. 12 U.S.C. § 4518a, one of the authorities cited in the regulation, specifically concerns executive compensation.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4513, explicitly outlines the duties and authorities of the Director, including overseeing the prudential operations of regulated entities and ensuring their safe and sound operation. 12 CFR Part 1230, which addresses executive compensation, cites 12 U.S.C. § 4513 as an authority. Therefore, the regulation is directly mandated as it falls under the Director’s authority to ensure the safe and sound operation and public interest consistency of regulated entities, which can logically extend to regulating executive compensation.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4512
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 12 U.S.C. § 4512 does detail the establishment and appointment of the Director and Deputy Directors, and outlines broad areas of understanding they should possess (e.g., financial management, capital markets, housing finance), it delegates broadly to the Director to prescribe the “functions, powers, and duties” of the Deputy Directors. This is a broad delegation of authority without explicitly defining specific regulatory tasks.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4512 establishes the Director and Deputy Directors of the Agency. While it mandates the existence of these positions, the specific functions, powers, and duties related to regulation are authorized but not explicitly mandated. The Director “shall prescribe” the functions of the Deputy Directors, indicating a discretionary authority to define their regulatory roles.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1201
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4513
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 4
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the statute outlines the Director’s duties, including ensuring the safe and sound operation of regulated entities, fostering stable housing finance markets, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations, it doesn’t specifically instruct the agency to create a regulation defining terms applicable to all FHFA regulations. This falls under the broad rulemaking authority given to the Director to fulfill their duties in the supervision and regulation of regulated entities. The authority to define terms to implement the statute is implied but not specifically mandated as the Director considers appropriate for their functions, powers, or duties.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The regulation (12 CFR Part 1201) explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. § 4513(a) and (b) in its authority section, indicating that the statute authorizes the regulation, but does not directly mandate the specific definitions provided.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1211
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4513
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 21
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the Director concerning the operations and activities of regulated entities, aiming for their safe and sound operation, compliance with laws, and consistency with the public interest. While it identifies specific areas like capital and internal controls, the overall delegation is broad and aimed at ensuring the comprehensive oversight of these entities, without explicitly delineating specific regulatory tasks.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. 4513(a) outlines the duties and authorities of the Director, and 12 CFR Part 1211 establishes procedures related to waivers, approvals, and regulatory interpretations. The statute authorizes the agency to develop regulations to fulfill its oversight responsibilities.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1214
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4513
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 3
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 12 U.S.C. § 4513 provides specific duties, the power to regulate the availability of non-public information isn’t explicitly instructed, but rather an implied power stemming from the Director’s broader mandate to ensure safe and sound operations and market stability. The statute grants general rulemaking authority related to the operations and supervision of regulated entities, and controlling the flow of non-public information is a means to achieve these broad goals. Therefore it falls under General Authority delegation as the specific regulation is not clearly instructed by the statute but is rather derived from the broad rulemaking authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4513 provides a broad framework for the Director’s duties and authorities, including overseeing prudential operations, ensuring safe and sound operations, and fostering liquid, efficient housing finance markets. The statute authorizes the Director to issue rules, regulations, and guidelines to achieve these goals. 12 CFR Part 1214, which governs the availability of non-public information, falls within this authorized scope as it supports the Director’s ability to supervise regulated entities effectively and maintain market stability by controlling access to sensitive information. While the statute doesn’t mandate this specific regulation, it provides the authority for it.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1221
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4513
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 160
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 12 U.S.C. § 4513 lays out the duties and responsibilities of the Director, including ensuring the safety and soundness of regulated entities and fostering stable housing finance markets, it does so in broad terms. It doesn’t specify particular regulations regarding margin and capital requirements for covered swap entities, but provides general authority to regulate in furtherance of the overall objectives. The authority cited for 12 CFR 1221 also includes 7 U.S.C. 6s(e) and 15 U.S.C. 78o-10(e), which further bolsters this classification as these provide additional grounds for this authority.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4513 provides the FHFA director with the “duties and authorities” to oversee regulated entities, ensure their safe and sound operation, and foster liquid, efficient, and resilient national housing finance markets. The statute authorizes the Director to issue regulations to fulfill these duties, but does not mandate specific regulations like 12 CFR Part 1221.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1282
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 201
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides FHFA with broad rulemaking authority to supervise and regulate regulated entities. While it mentions “authorizing statutes,” it doesn’t identify specific regulatory tasks or gaps to fill. It grants “general regulatory authority” to ensure the Act’s purposes are carried out, indicating a broad delegation without pinpointing particular areas of regulation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

While 12 U.S.C. § 4511 grants the FHFA general supervisory and regulatory authority, it doesn’t directly mandate specific regulations like those found in 12 CFR Part 1282. The statute authorizes the agency to issue regulations to ensure the purposes of the Act are carried out, but the decision to create specific housing goals and reporting requirements is within the agency’s discretion.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1292
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 17
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides “general regulatory authority” to the Director over regulated entities. While 12 U.S.C. 1430 is referenced in the regulation’s authority section and might contain more specific mandates, the provided statutory excerpt focuses on the establishment and overall supervisory authority of the FHFA. Thus, according to Kristin Hickman’s framework, this falls under a general authority delegation, despite the citation to a potentially more specific statute within the CFR authority section.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the agency to supervise and regulate regulated entities, but does not mandate specific regulations regarding Community Investment Cash Advance Programs.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides the Director of the FHFA with “general regulatory authority” over regulated entities, aiming to ensure compliance with the purposes of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. This is a broad grant of rulemaking authority without specifying particular regulatory tasks for the agency.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

The statute establishes the FHFA and grants it general supervisory authority over regulated entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While 24 CFR Part 81 regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, this regulation was initially issued by the Secretary of HUD. Although the FHFA now oversees these entities, the regulation’s direct mandate originates from laws predating the FHFA’s establishment. FHFA now maintains this regulation. The statute is related as it establishes the agency now overseeing the regulation, but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized the specific regulation in 24 CFR Part 81.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1200
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4512
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 3
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 12 U.S.C. § 4512 establishes the directorship and some functions related to it, it provides only the broadest contours of rulemaking. The statute does not specifically instruct the agency on particular regulatory tasks, but rather sets up the structure for those tasks to then be delegated further. It lacks specific regulatory instructions typically found in Specific Authority Delegations.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4512 establishes the position of Director for the Agency and outlines the structure and functions of the FHFA. 12 CFR Part 1200 outlines the organization and functions of the FHFA, directly implementing the statutory framework established by 12 U.S.C. § 4512. The “Authority” section of the regulation explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 4512, indicating a direct mandate.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1270
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4512
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 61
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While §4512 establishes the Director and defines the structure of the Agency, it does not provide specific regulatory tasks related to liabilities. Instead, it grants broad authority to the Director to oversee the enterprises and Federal Home Loan Banks. The regulation on liabilities falls under this broad, general authority for oversight and regulation of these entities.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4512 is listed as an authority for 12 CFR Part 1270. This indicates that the statute authorizes the regulation, but the statute itself doesn’t mandate this specific regulation on liabilities.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1272
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 9
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

12 U.S.C. § 4511(b) grants the FHFA Director “general regulatory authority” over entities. While other sections of the US Code mentioned in the Authority section of the regulation might provide more specific instruction, 4511(b) is the clear basis of authority in the statute provided and is of the “general” type as Hickman describes them. The statute does not identify any specific regulatory task the agency must perform regarding “new business activities.” It delegates broad rulemaking authority without identifying specific regulatory tasks or gaps to be filled.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4511(b) provides the FHFA Director with “general regulatory authority” over regulated entities. The statute itself does not mandate specific regulations regarding new business activities. Rather it grants broad supervisory and regulatory power, leaving the FHFA to determine the necessity and scope of regulations within the statutory framework, as evidenced by the inclusion of 4511(b) in the authority citation for the regulation.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1273
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 138
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides “general regulatory authority” to the Director over regulated entities and the Office of Finance. While section 4513 is referenced, the provision is invoked only to ensure that the purposes of the act are carried out. The statute doesn’t define specific regulatory tasks, but broadly allows regulation to fulfill the Act’s purposes.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the agency to regulate, but it does not mandate specific regulations. The agency has supervisory and regulatory authority over regulated entities “to the extent provided in this chapter” and to “ensure that the purposes of this Act, the authorizing statutes, and any other applicable law are carried out.” This suggests authorization rather than a direct mandate to regulate in a particular way.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1274
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 10
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute grants “general regulatory authority” to the FHFA Director. While section 4513 provides more specific instruction, the overarching grant of authority in 4511(b) is broad and doesn’t point to a specific regulatory task or gap that Part 1274 addresses. The phrase “general regulatory authority…to ensure that the purposes of this Act…are carried out” is broad, indicating a general delegation of power rather than a specific directive.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S. Code § 4511(b) grants the FHFA general supervisory and regulatory authority over regulated entities. While the statute doesn’t mandate the agency to issue specific regulations regarding financial statements, it authorizes such actions under its general regulatory authority to ensure the purposes of the Act and other applicable laws are carried out. Part 1274 falls within the realm of this authorized, but not mandated, authority.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1277
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 205
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides the FHFA with broad “general regulatory authority” over regulated entities. While it references Section 4513 for further duties, the core delegation in 4511(b) is broad, lacking specificity regarding how to regulate capital, stock, or plans. The statute doesn’t direct FHFA to address a specific regulatory gap with specific requirements. Instead, it delegates authority to ensure the purposes of the Act and other applicable laws are carried out.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4511(b) grants the FHFA “general regulatory authority” over regulated entities, including Federal Home Loan Banks. 12 CFR Part 1277 directly implements capital requirements for these banks and specifically cites § 4511 in its authority section. This indicates the regulation is directly mandated by the statute as it’s carrying out the supervision and regulation described by the statute.

Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 63

While 12 U.S.C. § 4511(b)(2) provides a general grant of regulatory authority, it does not specifically instruct the agency regarding merger regulation or establish a task with specific objectives. It provides broad rulemaking authority concerning regulated entities including Federal Home Loan Banks.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the agency to supervise and regulate entities, but it doesn’t mandate specific regulations regarding voluntary mergers of Federal Home Loan Banks.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1267
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 25
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the FHFA Director regarding the supervision and regulation of regulated entities. While it mentions ensuring that “the purposes of this Act, the authorizing statutes, and any other applicable law are carried out,” this is a broad objective, not a specific instruction to regulate investments in a particular way. It gives the agency discretion to determine what regulations are “necessary” or “appropriate” to achieve these purposes, rather than providing specific regulatory tasks.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4511(b)(2) grants the Director of the FHFA “general regulatory authority” over regulated entities, including Federal Home Loan Banks. While the statute authorizes the agency to regulate these entities, it does not mandate specific regulations regarding investments. Therefore, the statute authorizes but does not mandate the regulation (12 CFR Part 1267) concerning Federal Home Loan Bank investments.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1268
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 44
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the Director of the FHFA. While it references section 4513, which might contain more specific instructions, section 4511(b)(2) itself delegates “general regulatory authority” to “ensure that the purposes of this Act, the authorizing statutes, and any other applicable law are carried out.” This language is broad and does not delineate specific regulatory tasks, thus falling under a general authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4511, establishes the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and grants it general supervisory and regulatory authority over regulated entities. While it doesn’t specifically mandate regulations regarding “acquired member assets,” it authorizes the agency to exercise its general regulatory authority to ensure the purposes of the authorizing statutes and applicable law are carried out, which could reasonably include regulations on acquired member assets.

Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 5
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 12 U.S.C. 4511 and 4513 do refer to specific duties and authorities, the statute broadly grants the FHFA’s director “general regulatory authority” over entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This falls under the definition of a general authority delegation because it provides broad rulemaking authority without specific tasks identified regarding standby letters of credit. The use of other authority such as 12 U.S.C. 1429, 1430, 1430b, 1431 and 4526 only serve to further provide general authority under which the FHFA may act.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The regulation cites 12 U.S.C. 4511, and 4513 as statutory authority, which explicitly establishes the FHFA and grants it general regulatory authority. This constitutes a direct mandate as the statute directly authorizes the agency’s regulatory actions.

Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 61

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 1271
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 4511
Agency: Federal Housing Finance Agency
Restrictions: 64
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While the regulation cites several specific U.S. Code sections, including 4511(b) and 4513(a), as authority, the combination of these citations, along with open-ended phrases in the statute like “general regulatory authority,” indicates a broad delegation of rulemaking authority to the FHFA, without clearly instructing the agency on a specific regulatory task or gap. The regulation itself covers a wide range of “miscellaneous” operational and authoritative items, suggesting that the FHFA has utilized its general authority to govern various aspects of the Federal Home Loan Banks.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 4511(b) authorizes the Agency to supervise and regulate regulated entities. While the statute authorizes this regulation, it does not mandate specific regulations covering the subject matter of 12 CFR Part 1271 (Miscellaneous Federal Home Loan Bank Operations and Authorities).
