The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is a aggregation of regulations issued by federal agencies. These are regulations that corner "habitual applicability and legal fallout," according to Cornell University Rule Institution. The edict is divided into 50 titles, including Term 24 Housing and Urban Buildup.
According to Cornell University Law School, courts may hold the regulations as invalid if they conflict with federal statutes.
Features
Term 24 is divided into two subtitles, A and B, which core on clashing areas of the authority of HUD. Subtitle A is entitled Business of the Secretary, Branch of Housing and Urban Action. Subtitle B deals with Regulations Relating to Housing and Urban Adding to. Generally, A deals with internal issues for HUD while B is concerned with interactions between the branch and outward departments and legislation.
Subtitle A
Subtitle A deals remarkably with issues concerning the management of HUD. Among the topics covered are a law of sincere, nondiscrimination provisions and standards for administrative hearings. This section also establishes standards for programs administered by HUD, such as the Home Investments Partnership Program. The establishment of the Mortgagee Review Board by the National Housing Act and provisions detailing its operation and authority are also included in this section.
Subtitle B
Dealing with HUD-oriented legislation and the implementation of various laws, Subtitle B is primarily concerned with regulatory matters. Detailed within this section are the expectations placed upon HUD to follow standards of equal opportunity; discriminatory practices contrary to the Fair Housing Act are expressly prohibited. Among the provisions included within Subtitle B is the introduction to Federal Housing Authority (FHA) programs. FHA falls under the authority of HUD, and the standards for implementing FHA programs are specified in this section.
Considerations
The authority and limits of regulations appearing in the Code of Federal Regulations are set by federal statutes. These statutes, collected in the U.S. Code, should be considered along with the regulations appearing in the CFR.
