[Docket No. FR–4572–D–10]

Delegation of Authority to the Director

of the Enforcement Center

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Delegation of

Authority.

SUMMARY: The Secretary of HUD has

established an Enforcement Center to

consolidate HUD’s enforcement actions.

In addition, pursuant to the regulations

at 24 CFR Part 30, the Assistant

Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing

Commissioner has the authority to

initiate and resolve civil money penalty

actions against multifamily mortgagors

and may delegate this authority to a

designee. The National Housing Act at

12 U.S.C. 1735f–15(c)(1)(B)(x), provides

that among the violations subject to civil

money penalty sanction is the failure by

an FHA mortgagor to timely file annual

audited financial reports. A similar

provision is made with regard to Section

202 mortgagors pursuant to 12 U.S.C.

1701q–1(c)(1)(J). This delegation of

authority permits the Director of the

Enforcement Center to take enforcement

action for violations of 12 U.S.C. 1735f–

15(c)(1)(B)(x) and 12 U.S.C. 1701q–

1(c)(1)(J), through the initiation of civil

money penalty actions pursuant to 24

CFR 30.45.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 20, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Dane M. Narode, Deputy Chief Counsel,

Administrative Proceedings Branch,

Department Enforcement Center,

Department of Housing and Urban

Development, Portals Building, 1250

Maryland Avenue, Suite 200,

Washington, DC 20024, (202) 708–3856.

This is not a toll free number. For the

hearing/speech-impaired, the number

may be accessed via TTY by calling the

Federal Information Relay Service at 1–

800–877–8399.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD

regulations, at 24 CFR 30.45, permit the

Assistant Secretary of Housing—Federal

Housing Commissioner to initiate and

resolve civil money penalty actions

against participants in HUD multifamily

insured housing programs. These

participants include: a mortgagor of any

64982 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 211 / Tuesday, October 31, 2000 / Notices

property that includes five or more

living units and is subject to a mortgage

insured, coinsured or held by the

Secretary. Section 30.45 identifies the

violations for which the Assistant

Secretary may impose a penalty. Among

the referenced violations is the

mortgagor’s failure to timely file audited

financial reports. See 12 U.S.C. 1735f–

15(c)(1)(B)(x) and 12 U.S.C. 1701q–

1(c)(1)(J). Mortgagors are required to file

annual financial reports within 60 days

of the end of the mortgagor’s fiscal year.

These reports must be examined and

certified by an independent or certified

public accountant, and certified by an

officer of the mortgagor.

Section 30.45 also provides that the

Assistant Secretary may delegate his

authority under the regulations to a

designee. This document would make

that delegation to the Director of the

Enforcement Center. This delegation

does not affect the authority of the

Mortgagee Review Board to initiate civil

money penalties, as described in 24 CFR

30.35, or the authority of the Assistant

Secretary to initiate civil money

penalties for violations identified in 12

U.S.C. 1735f–15(c)(1)(B)(x) and 12

U.S.C. 1701q–1(c)(1)(J).

Wherefore, the Assistant Secretary for

Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner delegates authority, as

follows:

Section A. Authority Delegate: The

Director of the HUD Enforcement

Center, as designee, is authorized to take

all actions permitted under 24 CFR Part

30, as they pertain to violations

identified in 12 U.S.C. 1735f–

15(c)(1)(B)(x) and 12 U.S.C. 1701q–

1(c)(1)(J).

Section B. Authority to Redelegate:

The Director of the Enforcement Center

is not authorized to redelegate, to

another designee, the authority

delegated under Section A.

Authority: Section 30.45 of Title 24 of the

Code of Federal Regulations.

Dated: September 20, 2000.

William C. Apgar,

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal

Housing Commissioner.
