Sec. 180.680  Final decisions.

    (a) Public disclosure. HUD shall make public disclosure of each 
final decision.
    (b) Where initial decision does not provide for suspension or 
termination of, or refusal to grant or continue, Federal financial 
assistance--(1) Issuance of final decision by Secretary. The Secretary 
may review any finding of fact, conclusion of law, or order contained in 
the initial decision of the ALJ and issue a final decision in the 
proceeding. The Secretary shall serve the final decision on all parties 
no later than 30 days after the date of issuance of the initial 
decision.
    (2) No final decision by Secretary. If the Secretary does not serve 
a final decision within the time period described in paragraph (b)(1) of 
this section, the initial decision of the ALJ will become the final 
agency decision. For the purposes of this part, such a final decision 
will be considered to have been issued 30 days after the date of 
issuance of the initial decision.
    (c) Where initial decision provides for suspension or termination 
of, or refusal to grant or continue, Federal financial assistance. When 
the initial decision provides for the suspension or termination of, or 
the refusal to grant or continue, Federal financial assistance, or the 
imposition of any other sanction, such decision shall not constitute an 
order or final agency action until approved by the Secretary. Further, 
in the case of proceedings under title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 
1964, no order suspending, terminating, or refusing to grant or continue 
Federal financial assistance shall become effective until the 
requirements of 24 CFR 1.8(c) have been met.
