§ 1930.144 - Exception authority.

The Administrator may, in individual cases, make an exception to any requirements of this subpart not required by the authorizing statute if he/she finds that application of such requirement would adversely affect the interest of the Government or adversely affect the accomplishment of the purposes of the MFH program or result in undue hardship by applying the requirement. The Administrator may exercise the authority at the request of the State Director or the Assistant Administrator for Housing. The request must be supported by data that demonstrates the adverse impact, citing the particular requirement involved and recommending proper alternative course(s) of action, and outlining how the adverse impact could be mitigated.
