While 12 U.S.C. § 4511(b) and the cited statutes like 12 U.S.C. 1426, 1429, 1430, 1430b, and 1431 grant authority to the FHFA regarding its responsibilities for supervising and regulating Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Home Loan Banks, and the Office of Finance, it provides broad rulemaking authority to ensure that the purposes of the Act, the authorizing statutes and other applicable law are carried out. It doesn’t specifically instruct the agency to regulate “advances” to members and housing associates.

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4511(b), authorizes the FHFA to supervise and regulate regulated entities. The regulation, 12 CFR Part 1266, governs advances to members and housing associates, falling under the umbrella of the agency’s supervisory and regulatory functions. The statute explicitly authorizes regulatory authority over regulated entities and the authorizing statutes, but does not mandate this specific regulation regarding advances.

While 12 U.S.C. 4511 is cited as authority, the statute grants general supervisory and regulatory authority to the FHFA Director. It does not prescribe specific rules regarding book-entry procedures.

12 U.S.C. 4511 is cited as authority for 12 CFR Part 1249.

While 4511(b) provides general authority, the regulation at 12 CFR 1251 implements the affordable housing contributions framework outlined in 12 U.S.C. 4567, which provides a clear regulatory task and gap for the agency to oversee. As such this falls under specific authority.

12 U.S.C. § 4511(b)(2) grants the Director of the FHFA “general regulatory authority” over regulated entities. While the statute doesn’t mandate every regulation, it authorizes the FHFA to issue regulations to ensure the purposes of the Act and other applicable laws are carried out. Therefore, the statute-regulation relationship is authorized but not mandated. The citation provided under the regulation authority includes 4511(b), as well as 4513(a) which does provide specific direction on setting assessments for affordable housing.

While 12 U.S.C. 4511 establishes the FHFA and grants general supervisory and regulatory authority, it doesn’t specifically instruct the agency to create regulations concerning the prior approval of enterprise products, but this regulatory action is taken to ensure the safety and solvency of the regulated entities. It delegates broad authority to oversee and regulate the entities.

The regulation, 12 CFR Part 1253, explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 4511 as one of its authorities. This indicates that the statute directly mandates the regulation.

While 12 U.S.C. 4511 grants the FHFA general supervisory and regulatory authority, the regulation itself (12 CFR Part 1254) involves a specific process for validating and approving credit score models. 12 USC 4511 is a broad grant, lacking specificity. It is a general authority delegation.

The regulation cites 12 U.S.C. 4511 as authority, among other sections. Therefore, the statute directly mandates the regulation.

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority without identifying specific regulatory tasks. It says “general regulatory authority” to ensure purposes of the Act and authorizing statutes are carried out.

12 U.S.C. § 4511(b)(2) grants the Director “general regulatory authority,” but does not mandate specific regulations beyond those duties outlined in section 4513. The regulation relates to the agency’s supervisory and regulatory authority, sharing of information among Federal Home Loan Banks, and requests to withhold proprietary information.

While the statute lists section 4513 as a reference to authorities, the delegation of authority is broad. 12 U.S.C. 4511(b)(2) grants “general regulatory authority” to ensure that purposes of the Act, authorizing statutes, and any other applicable law are carried out. This is broad rulemaking authority without specific regulatory tasks identified in this section; record retention is a subset of that authority.

The statute authorizes the agency to supervise and regulate regulated entities but does not mandate specific record retention requirements. The regulation in question establishes record retention requirements for those regulated entities, which falls within the authorized scope of supervision and regulation.

The statute provides the agency with general regulatory authority over regulated entities (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Home Loan Banks, and the Office of Finance) to “ensure that the purposes of this Act, the authorizing statutes, and any other applicable law are carried out.” This is a broad delegation of rulemaking authority, lacking specific regulatory tasks the agency is directed to pursue. While section 4513 outlines duties and authorities, 4511(b)(2) references it as including duties under 4513, suggesting the agency authority is larger than specified by 4513 itself.

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4511, authorizes the FHFA to issue regulations related to the supervision and regulation of regulated entities, but does not mandate specific regulations regarding prudential management and operations. While it grants broad authority, it does not require the agency to create this specific regulation.

The statute provides “general regulatory authority” without specifying particular regulatory tasks or gaps that the agency must address through rulemaking. It authorizes the FHFA to exercise “general regulatory authority” to ensure the purposes of applicable laws are carried out but doesn’t give specific instructions on how to do so regarding corporate governance.

12 U.S.C. 4511(b) grants the FHFA “general supervisory and regulatory authority” over regulated entities. While the statute authorizes regulation, it does not mandate specific regulations regarding responsibilities of boards of directors, corporate practices, and corporate governance, leaving this to the agency’s discretion.

The statute grants “general regulatory authority” without identifying specific regulatory tasks, aligning with the definition of a general authority delegation.

The statute explicitly establishes the FHFA and grants it general supervisory and regulatory authority over regulated entities, making the regulation directly mandated by the statute.

While 12 U.S.C. § 4511 does authorize the FHFA’s general supervisory and regulatory powers, it does not clearly instruct the agency on a specific regulatory task regarding resolution planning. Therefore, it falls under the “General Authority” category. Although, 12 U.S.C. 4513b regards resolution and risk management.

The regulation cites 12 U.S.C. 4511 as its authority. The statute explicitly establishes the FHFA and grants it general supervisory and regulatory authority over regulated entities. Thus, the relationship is directly mandated.

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4511(b)(2), authorizes the Agency to supervise and regulate regulated entities, but it does not mandate the creation of an Office of the Ombudsman. The regulation is within the scope of that authorized activity.

The statute provides the Director with “general regulatory authority” over regulated entities to ensure that the purposes of the Act, authorizing statutes, and any other applicable law are carried out. This is a broad delegation of rulemaking authority without specifying particular regulatory tasks; it is a delegation to ensure the broader purposes of enabling statutes are fulfilled. While the agency cites other specific statutes in the regulation, the primary authority cited here provides broad discretion.

The statute authorizes the FHFA to supervise and regulate regulated entities, but it doesn’t mandate any specific regulation like the one in 12 CFR Part 1228. The statute grants the FHFA general regulatory authority, and the agency chose to use that authority to restrict acquisition of mortgages with private transfer fees.

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority to the FHFA director over regulated entities and the Office of Finance to ensure the purposes of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and other relevant laws are carried out. There is no clearly defined specific regulatory task, but rather a general mandate to ensure the fulfillment of statutory goals.

The statute authorizes the agency to issue regulations regarding regulated entities, but does not mandate any specific regulation be implemented.

The statute provides broad supervisory and regulatory authority to the Director of the FHFA over regulated entities. While it references ensuring that the purposes of the Act, authorizing statutes, and other applicable laws are carried out, it does not prescribe any specific regulatory tasks related to fraudulent financial instruments. Therefore, this delegation falls under the General Authority category.

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4511, authorizes the FHFA to supervise and regulate regulated entities, but does not mandate the specific regulation in 12 CFR Part 1233 regarding the reporting of fraudulent financial instruments. The agency is acting within its authorized purview, but the statute doesn’t explicitly direct this particular regulation.

Although the statute mentions “ensuring the purposes of this Act…are carried out,” it provides broad authority without specific regulatory tasks. The regulation itself cites additional statutes (4526, 4617, 15 U.S.C. 78o-11(b)(2)) indicating a complex web of authority, but 4511(b) itself is a general delegation of authority.

12 U.S.C. 4511(b) is explicitly listed as an authority for 12 CFR Part 1234, indicating a direct mandate.

While the statute is a definition section, some definitions include explicit delegations of rulemaking authority tied to specific topics. For example, the definition of “capital distribution” includes “any transaction that the Director determines by regulation to be, in substance, the distribution of capital,” and the definition of “total capital” includes “any other amounts from sources of funds available to absorb losses incurred by the enterprise, that the Director by regulation determines are appropriate to include in determining total capital.” These provide specific authority tied to defining components of capital distribution and total capital. Other definitions also hinge on regulatory determinations made by the Director related to adjustments and calculations.

The statute defines terms used in the chapter, including terms related to housing and income levels. While it doesn’t directly mandate a specific regulation, it authorizes the Director to make determinations by regulation, as seen in the definitions of “capital distribution,” “entity-affiliated party,” “total capital,” “very low-income,” “extremely low-income,” “shortage of standard rental units both affordable and available to extremely low-income renter households”, and “shortage of standard rental units both affordable and available to very low-income renter households”. This gives the Director discretion to elaborate on these definitions through regulation.

While the statute is primarily definitional, certain definitions grant the Director specific authority to determine, by regulation, the scope or meaning of those terms. For example, the statute defines “capital distribution” to include “any transaction that the Director determines by regulation to be, in substance, the distribution of capital.” This is not a broad, open-ended delegation; rather, it directs the agency to define a specific category of transactions that fall under the umbrella term with use of “by regulation”.

The statute provides definitions for terms used throughout the chapter, and several of these definitions include provisions authorizing the Director to further define or interpret those terms through regulation (e.g., capital distribution, entity-affiliated party, very low-income). This indicates that regulations are authorized but not explicitly mandated for all definitions.

12 U.S.C. 4501-4641, cited in the authority section of 24 CFR Part 81 grants HUD general authority to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While 12 U.S.C. § 4503 does not explicitly provide or remove authority, the chapter it is within does grant broad rulemaking authority without pointing to specific regulatory gaps needing to be filled.

The statute, 12 U.S.C. § 4503, clarifies the limits of the Federal Government’s obligations regarding Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks. While it doesn’t directly mandate any specific regulations, it shapes the regulatory landscape by explicitly stating what the chapter should not be construed as doing. This informs the scope and interpretation of any related regulations. 24 CFR Part 81 concerns the Secretary of HUD’s regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Although § 4503 does not mandate the regulations, it is explicitly related to their oversight. It can be argued the statute’s limitations on federal obligation authorized the agency to create regulations to ensure such obligation.

Section 4511(b) grants the Director “general regulatory authority” to ensure the purposes of the Act, authorizing statutes, and applicable law are carried out. It doesn’t specify a specific regulatory task or gap, instead providing broad rulemaking authority.

The regulation at 12 CFR Part 1201 explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 4511(b) as authority, directly linking the regulation to the statute.

The statute provides broad regulatory authority to the Director to ensure the purposes of the Act and other applicable laws are carried out, without specifying particular regulations to be issued. While the authority cites to 4513(a), which outlines specific examination and enforcement authorities, 4511(b) itself represents a general delegation of power to supervise and regulate.

The statute authorizes the agency to supervise and regulate regulated entities but does not mandate specific regulations regarding waivers, approvals, non-objection letters, and regulatory interpretations. The regulation provides procedures that are consistent with that broad supervisory authority.

Although Section 4501(6) specifies that the entity regulating the enterprises “should have the authority to establish capital standards, require financial disclosure, prescribe adequate standards for books and records and other internal controls, conduct examinations when necessary, and enforce compliance with the standards and rules that it establishes”, the creation of the book-entry system is not explicitly mentioned or mandated. Therefore, I classify this as a General Authority delegation as the statue provides broad rulemaking authority without specific regulatory tasks identified

While 12 U.S.C. § 4501 doesn’t directly mandate the specific book-entry procedures detailed in 12 CFR Part 1249, it provides the authorization and justification for regulations aimed at ensuring the financial safety and soundness of enterprises like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The statute identifies the need for effective federal regulation and grants the regulator (FHFA, implicitly) the authority to establish standards and rules. The book-entry procedures fall under this broad authorization as they relate to financial safety and the integrity of securities issued by these enterprises.

While broad in some respects, the statute lays out specific areas for regulation, e.g. “establish capital standards, require financial disclosure, prescribe adequate standards for books and records and other internal controls, conduct examinations when necessary, and enforce compliance with the standards and rules that it establishes”. This provides specific authority compared to a more broad, general delegation.

The statute, specifically section (6), authorizes the regulating entity to “establish capital standards, require financial disclosure, prescribe adequate standards for books and records and other internal controls, conduct examinations when necessary, and enforce compliance with the standards and rules that it establishes.” The regulation, 12 CFR Part 1282, addresses enterprise housing goals and mission. While the statute highlights the importance of affordable housing and the financial soundness of these enterprises, it doesn’t explicitly mandate how those goals should be defined or measured, or how the duty to serve underserved markets should be implemented. The authority for the regulation exists because the statute enables the agency to regulate these entities and set standards, but the specific content of the housing goals and how they should be achieved is not directly mandated by this particular section.

The statute gives authority to establish capital standards, require financial disclosure, prescribe adequate standards for books and records and other internal controls, conduct examinations when necessary, and enforce compliance with the standards and rules that it establishes, which are specific regulatory tasks.

The statute authorizes the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but does not mandate specific regulations. The regulation 24 CFR Part 81 directly regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which is authorized in 12 U.S.C. § 4501, particularly in paragraph (6), which discusses the authority to establish capital standards, require financial disclosure, and conduct examinations.

While 12 U.S.C. § 4502 itself is primarily a definitions section, its definitions of “compensation” and “executive officer” are directly referenced as authority for 12 CFR Part 1230. Therefore the rule is grounded in the statute, which provides explicit authority for the FHFA to regulate the compensation of executives within regulated entities. This aligns with the ‘Specific Authority’ category.

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 4502 provides definitions, including definitions of “compensation” and “executive officer” which are terms used in 12 CFR Part 1230. While the statute defines these terms, it doesn’t directly mandate the regulation of executive compensation. Instead, it authorizes the Director to take actions related to regulated entities, some of which may relate to compensation. The statute provides the building blocks for regulating in this area, which makes the regulation authorized, but not mandated.
