Sec.  24.1  Purpose.


    The purpose of this part is to promulgate rules to implement the 
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act 
of 1970, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.), in accordance with the 
following objectives:
    (a) To ensure that owners of real property to be acquired for 
Federal and federally-assisted projects are treated fairly and 
consistently, to encourage and expedite acquisition by agreements with 
such owners, to minimize litigation and relieve congestion in the 
courts, and to promote public confidence in Federal and federally-
assisted land acquisition programs;
    (b) To ensure that persons displaced as a direct result of Federal 
or federally-assisted projects are treated fairly, consistently, and 
equitably so that such persons will not suffer disproportionate injuries 
as a result of projects designed for the benefit of the public as a 
whole; and
    (c) To ensure that Agencies implement these regulations in a manner 
that is efficient and cost effective.
