                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
    CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 115--CERTIFICATION AND FUNDING OF STATE AND LOCAL FAIR HOUSING ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES--Table of Contents
 
      Subpart B--Certification of Substantially Equivalent Agencies
 
Sec. 115.212  Withdrawal of certification.

    (a) If the Assistant Secretary finds, as a result of a review 
undertaken in accordance with this part, that the agency's fair housing 
law or ordinance no longer meets the requirements of this part, the 
Assistant Secretary shall propose to withdraw the certification 
previously granted.
    (b) The Assistant Secretary will propose withdrawal of certification 
under paragraph (a) of this section unless further review and 
information or documentation establishes that the current law and/or the 
agency's administration of the law meets the criteria set out in this 
part.
    (c) If the Assistant Secretary determines, after application of the 
criteria set forth in this part, that the state or local law or 
ordinance, in operation, does not provide substantive rights, 
procedures, remedies, and availability of judicial review for alleged 
discriminatory housing practices which are substantially equivalent to 
those provided in the Fair Housing Act, the Assistant Secretary shall 
inform the State or local official in writing of the reasons for that 
determination.
