Regulation: 12 CFR Part 712
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1757
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 42
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute identifies specific permissible activities (associated with routine operations of credit unions) for CUSOs and authorizes the Board to prescribe regulations regarding investments in and loans to these organizations. While the term “associated with routine operations” is open-ended, it still directs the agency to a specific regulatory task. Additionally, the statute provides the NCUA Board authority to determine which organizations can be defined as credit union organizations, but this is specific to that allowance.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S. Code § 1757(5)(D) and (7)(I) authorize Federal Credit Unions (FCU) to make loans to credit union organizations and invest in organizations providing services associated with routine credit union operations, thus authorizing the NCUA to regulate CUSOs.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 705
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1756
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 43
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides broad rulemaking authority for the Board to supervise federal credit unions and require reports. While the statute mentions reports and examinations, which could be seen as specific tasks, it does not specifically mention or mandate the establishment or regulation of a Community Development Revolving Loan Fund. The regulatory action is therefore authorized by the broad supervisory powers.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Board to supervise federal credit unions and require reports, but it doesn’t specifically mandate the creation of a Community Development Revolving Loan Fund or the specific regulations related to its access. The regulation enhances the supervisory role by creating a revolving loan fund.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 712
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1756
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 42
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Board on a specific regulatory task: supervising federal credit unions, requiring financial reports (at least annually, but more frequently as the Board deems necessary), and conducting examinations. While “as and when it may require” grants some discretion, the regulatory tasks themselves are specifically outlined.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute (12 U.S.C. § 1756) explicitly requires federal credit unions to make financial reports to the Board and be subject to examination by the Board. This directly mandates the agency’s supervisory and reporting authority, forming the basis for regulations concerning those reports and examinations.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 714
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1756
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 19
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While 12 U.S.C. § 1756 grants the Board broad supervisory powers, it specifically instructs the agency on the regulatory task of requiring financial reports and examining Federal credit unions. The statute uses terms like “as and when it may require,” which while open-ended, still point to a specific regulatory task.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The regulation, 12 CFR Part 714, explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 1756 as one of its authorities, which directly mandates certain supervisory functions.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 723
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1756
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 79
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically directs the Board to supervise credit unions, obtain financial reports, and conduct examinations. This isn’t simply broad rulemaking authority; it identifies specific regulatory tasks, falling under the “Specific Authority” delegation category.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1756 empowers the Board to supervise federal credit unions and require financial reports. While it mandates annual reports, it authorizes the Board to require reports “as and when it may require,” granting discretion in frequency and content. Examination authority is also authorized but not mandated.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 700
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1757
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While the statute delegates power to the agency (NCUA), it does so by explicitly defining which terms and conditions the Board can prescribe (terms, rates, and conditions on payments on shares). This falls under the category of Specific Authority because it directs the agency to a specific regulatory area, rather than broad rulemaking power.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1757(6) provides that a federal credit union has the power to receive payments on shares “subject to such terms, rates, and conditions as may be established by the board of directors, within limitations prescribed by the Board”. This regulation defines the terms used in that section, which is authorized by the statute but not mandated.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 792
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1752a
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 167
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 12 U.S.C. § 1752a(d) provides rulemaking authority, it does not specify what rules the agency must make beyond those for the transaction of its business. This broad delegation of rulemaking authority, coupled with the statute’s general instructions, puts it firmly in the General Authority category. Although 12 U.S.C. 1766, 1789, and 1795f are also cited as authority for the regulation, those sections of the U.S. Code refer to more specific requirements, making 1752a(d) the general authority in comparison.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1752a(d) states “The Board shall adopt such rules as it sees fit for the transaction of its business and shall keep permanent and complete records and minutes of its acts and proceedings.” While this does not mandate specific rules regarding FOIA, Privacy Act requests, etc., it authorizes the Board to adopt rules for the transaction of its business, which would reasonably include such procedures.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 797
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1752a
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 125
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

Section 1752a(d) states “The Board shall adopt such rules as it sees fit for the transaction of its business.” This is a broad delegation of authority concerning the administration of the NCUA, encompassing rulemaking power without specifying particular regulatory tasks. The reference to rules “as it sees fit” grants considerable discretion, classifying it as a General Authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

While 12 U.S.C. § 1752a establishes the NCUA and vests management in the Board, it doesn’t directly mandate debt collection procedures. However, it authorizes the Board to adopt rules for transacting its business, which implicitly includes managing and recovering debts owed to the agency. Other statutes cited (5 U.S.C. 5514, 31 U.S.C. 3711, 3716, 3720A, 3720D) in the regulation’s authority section more directly address debt collection, indicating the NCUA is exercising authority authorized by Congress but not specifically mandated by 12 U.S.C 1752a.

Regulation: 5 CFR Part 9601
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1752a
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 18
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

12 U.S.C. 1752a(d) provides broad rulemaking authority (“adopt such rules as it sees fit”). It does not specify any particular regulatory tasks or gaps related to ethics but instead, broadly empowers the Board to create rules for the administration’s business, which permits the agency to promulgate ethical rules, but is not specifically directed.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. 1752a(d) authorizes the NCUA Board to “adopt such rules as it sees fit for the transaction of its business.” While the statute doesn’t explicitly mandate specific ethical regulations, it authorizes the Board to create rules necessary for the agency’s functioning, which could logically include ethical standards for employees.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 701
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1755
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 700
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically directs the Board to establish rules concerning the assessment, determination of amount, assessment periods, and payment dates for operating fees from federal credit unions. It uses terms like “appropriate” while still clearly instructing the agency on a specific regulatory task.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute (12 U.S. Code § 1755) directly mandates the Board to prescribe rules regarding the payment of annual operating fees by federal credit unions.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 701
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1756
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 700
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

12 U.S.C. § 1756 is a delegation of Specific Authority because it clearly instructs the Board to supervise federal credit unions and provides direction on the methods of supervision: financial reports and examinations. While the terms “as and when it may require” provide some discretion, they are tied to the specific regulatory task of receiving reports, therefore fitting within the “Specific Authority” category.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 1756 directly mandates the Board (currently, the National Credit Union Administration or NCUA) to supervise federal credit unions, receive financial reports from them as it requires (at least annually), and subject them to examination. The regulation, 12 CFR Part 701, fleshes out the details of how the NCUA organizes and operates federal credit unions, setting specific requirements and procedures related to supervision and reporting.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 236
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1735d
Agency: Federal Housing Administration
Restrictions: 154
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute explicitly authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations related to establishing a date for interest calculation when making cash payments. This falls under Specific Authority because it gives the agency a specific regulatory task related to the payment process.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1735d authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations related to establishing a date for computing interest on cash payments made in lieu of debentures. The regulation 24 CFR Part 236, while citing 12 U.S.C. § 1735d as authority, covers mortgage insurance and interest reduction payments for rental projects, which is a broader subject. The statute authorizes regulations, but does not mandate them for the whole scope of 24 CFR Part 236.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 241
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1735d
Agency: Federal Housing Administration
Restrictions: 290
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute gives the Secretary the authority to establish “a date to be established pursuant to regulations” for calculating interest on cash payments made in lieu of debentures. This is a specific regulatory task related to the implementation of the statute’s provisions regarding payment of insurance claims.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 1735d authorizes the Secretary to pay insurance claims in cash or debentures and to borrow from the Treasury. The regulation, 24 CFR Part 241, which covers supplementary financing for insured project mortgages, explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. § 1735d in its authority section. Therefore, the regulation is authorized by the statute. However, the statute does not mandate the regulation; the Secretary could conceivably fulfill the statutory obligations without issuing this specific regulation.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 700
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1752
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 1
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While § 1752 itself defines terms, delegating the application of these definitions to the NCUA, especially regarding accounts and branches, implies a need for further regulatory refinement. The authority granted here aligns with “clearly instructing an agency on a specific regulatory task.”

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1752 is explicitly listed as an authority for 12 CFR Part 700.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 701
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1752
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 700
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

Section 1752(5) gives explicit authority for the NCUA Board to approve the types of accounts that can be considered “member accounts” or “accounts.” This falls under specific authority delegations because it instructs the agency on a specific regulatory task.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1752(5) defines “member account” and “account” as types approved by the Board. Therefore, it is authorized but not mandated that regulations be made.

Regulation: 12 CFR Part 745
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1752
Agency: National Credit Union Administration
Restrictions: 97
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

12 U.S.C. 1752(5) provides explicit authority to the NCUA Board to define “member account” and “account” which provides the basis for determining insurance coverage of those accounts. It also references 1787, which provides further specific guidance on the actions required and the insurance fund, all related to specific tasks. Therefore, this is a Specific Authority delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The regulation cites 12 U.S.C. 1752(5) as authority. 1752(5) defines terms such as “member account” and account” and gives the Board authority to approve accounts for different types of members. While the statute authorizes the Board to define certain types of accounts, it does not directly mandate the regulations in Part 745 which go further by clarifying and defining account insurance coverage and payment of share insurance. Therefore, the relationship is authorized, but not mandated.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 25
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1735
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 79
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute provides general instructions but leaves room for the agency to determine amounts and timing, with consideration of the solvency of the fund. This aligns more with providing broad administrative discretion for the payment of indebtedness rather than giving specific instructions related to the regulation of mortgagees.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

While 12 U.S.C. § 1735 provides a mechanism for the Secretary to manage certain funds related to mortgage insurance, it doesn’t directly mandate or explicitly authorize the creation and operation of a Mortgagee Review Board as described in 24 CFR Part 25. However, the broad authority conveyed within Title 12, and the general responsibilities of the Secretary for housing programs, make them related.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 207
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1735d
Agency: Federal Housing Administration
Restrictions: 198
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

12 U.S.C. § 1735d specifically authorizes the Secretary to pay insurance claims in cash or debentures and to borrow from the Treasury to make such payments. It also specifies how the cash payment should be calculated and gives the Secretary authority to determine a date pursuant to regulations, thereby instructing the agency on a specific regulatory task.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1735d is explicitly listed in the authority section of 24 CFR Part 207, indicating that the regulation is directly mandated by the statute.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 220
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1735d
Agency: Federal Housing Administration
Restrictions: 97
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

12 U.S.C. § 1735d(a) specifically authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations to establish a date to compute interest when payments are made in cash instead of debentures. This instruction on a specific regulatory task with an open-ended term, “to be established pursuant to regulations issued by the Secretary,” fits the criteria for Specific Authority Delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations related to establishing a date for computing interest on cash payments made in lieu of debentures. The regulation cites 12 U.S.C. 1735d in its authority section, indicating that it is authorized by the statute, but the statute does not mandate the specific regulations.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 221
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1735d
Agency: Federal Housing Administration
Restrictions: 114
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute specifically authorizes the Secretary to establish a date, via regulation, for computing interest on cash payments. Although the term “date to be established pursuant to regulations” grants discretion, it is tied to the specific task of calculating interest for cash payments in lieu of debentures. The Secretary’s discretion is limited to determining a date for a particular calculation, not broader regulatory goals.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 1735d authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations regarding the date to be used for calculating interest on cash payments made in lieu of debentures. While the statute grants the Secretary the authority to issue these regulations, it does not mandate them. The regulation, 24 CFR Part 221, includes 12 U.S.C. § 1735d in its authority section, indicating that it is authorized but not directly mandated.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 232
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1735d
Agency: Federal Housing Administration
Restrictions: 228
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

The statute clearly instructs the Secretary on a specific regulatory task: setting the date for interest calculation when paying claims in cash. While the statute uses the open-ended term “to be established pursuant to regulations issued by the Secretary,” this phrasing aligns with Hickman’s definition of Specific Authority delegations because it identifies a particular regulatory gap to be filled.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

The statute explicitly authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations concerning the date to be used for calculating interest when paying insurance claims in cash. While the statute sets the basic framework (cash payment equivalent to debenture face value plus interest), it authorizes the Secretary to establish a specific date for interest calculation through regulations, but does not mandate they issue any regulations.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1723d
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 12 U.S.C. § 1723d deals with transferring functions, the listed authorities for 24 CFR Part 81 (12 U.S.C. 1451 et seq., 1716-1723h, and 4501-4641; 28 U.S.C. 2461 note; 42 U.S.C. 3535(d) and 3601-3619) collectively grant HUD broad authority to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The statute provides no specific guidance on how to regulate Fannie Mae beyond the function transfer; the agency’s regulatory authority stems from the broader set of statutes. Therefore, it constitutes a general delegation.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1723d transfers functions to the Federal National Mortgage Association. 24 CFR Part 81 regulates Fannie Mae, and the statute authorizes HUD to take certain actions. So, it’s authorized but not directly mandated.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1723e
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

While 12 U.S.C. 1716-1723h is cited in the authority for the regulation, which includes the repealed statute, the citation of 12 U.S.C. 4501-4641, 42 U.S.C. 3535(d), and 3601-3619 provides very broad rulemaking authority.

Relationship: related but neither directly mandated nor explicitly authorized
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1723e is explicitly listed in the authority section for 24 CFR Part 81; however, 12 U.S.C. § 1723e is repealed. The remaining statutes authorize the Secretary of HUD to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac concerning housing goals, fair housing, new programs, reporting, information access, procedures, and book-entry procedures. While the repealed statute is related to mortgage markets and housing, the regulation does not seem to be directly mandated or explicitly authorized by it due to its repeal. The ongoing authority to transfer assets does create some relationship.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 81
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1723f
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 398
Delegation Category: General Authority sword icon

The statute 12 U.S.C. § 1723f gives the Secretary authority over the purchase of loans and advances. While it’s relatively specific regarding the subject matter (energy-conserving home improvement loans), it utilizes open-ended terms such as under the direction of the Secretary. The regulation, 24 CFR Part 81, takes broad strokes to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Given its relationship to the broader authorization framework (12 U.S.C 1716-1723h) it is more of a general authority grant.

Relationship: authorized but not mandated
Beta

12 U.S.C. § 1723f related to the purchase of energy conserving home improvement loans and advances of credit by the Association under the direction of the Secretary. 24 CFR Part 81 is a regulation of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) by the Secretary of HUD, referencing 12 U.S.C. 1716-1723h within its authority. While 1723f itself is repealed, the broader statutory scheme enables the kind of regulatory oversight demonstrated in 24 CFR Part 81, indicating authorization but not a direct mandate specifically from 1723f.

Regulation: 24 CFR Part 30
Authorizing Statute: 12 U.S. Code § 1723i
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Restrictions: 74
Delegation Category: Specific Authority checkmark icon

While subsection (h) of the statute grants the Secretary authority to issue regulations, it is explicitly for the purpose of implementing this section. The statute itself provides a list of violations in subsection (b) and also dictates the procedures for the imposition of civil money penalties, providing for considerable specificity and guidance. The agency’s rulemaking is tied to the already defined task of establishing standards and procedures as laid out in subsection (c) of the statute, further clarifying and limiting the scope of the agency’s discretion. Therefore, this constitutes Specific Authority, instructing on a particular regulatory task.

Relationship: directly mandated
Beta

The regulation, 24 CFR Part 30, explicitly cites 12 U.S.C. 1723i in its authority section. This indicates a direct mandate as the statute specifically authorizes the Secretary to impose civil money penalties and issue regulations to implement the section.
