Sec. 05.04.12.10. Program Administration

A. Program Handbook. The Administration may establish from time to time operational handbooks or manuals containing internal underwriting standards and loan processing requirements which do not directly affect the rights of the public or the procedures available to the public. Copies of these handbooks shall be available for examination at the Administration's principal office. The Administration, upon request, may make copies available to the public at a reasonable charge.

B. Delegation. The Secretary may delegate to the Director of the Administration or to any other official or employee of the Department or Administration the authority to execute or approve any program documents or contract documents.

C. Waiver. The Secretary may waive or vary particular provisions of these regulations in writing to the extent that the waiver is not inconsistent with the Act if:

(1) Conformance to the requirements of any federal, State, or local programs in connection with providing financing to the project necessitates waiver or variance of a regulation; or

(2) In the determination of the Secretary, the application of a regulation in a specific case or in any emergency situation would be inequitable or contrary to the purposes of the Act.
