    (a) Enforcement policy. It is the policy of the Secretary regarding 
RESPA enforcement matters to cooperate with Federal, State or local 
agencies having supervisory powers over lenders or other persons with 
responsibilities under RESPA. Federal agencies with supervisory powers 
over lenders may use their powers to require compliance with RESPA. In 
addition, failure to comply with RESPA may be grounds for administrative 
action by the Secretary under part 24 of this title concerning 
debarment, suspension, ineligibility of contractors and grantees, or 
under part 25 of this title concerning the HUD Mortgagee Review Board. 
Nothing in this paragraph is a limitation on any other form of 
enforcement which may be legally available.
    (b) Violations of section 8 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2607), Sec. 
3500.14, or Sec. 3500.15. Any person who violates Sec. Sec. 3500.14 or 
3500.15 shall be deemed to violate section 8 of RESPA and shall be 
sanctioned accordingly.
    (c) Violations of section 9 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2608) or Sec. 
3500.16. Any person who violates section 3500.16 of this part shall be 
deemed to violate section 9 of RESPA and shall be sanctioned 
accordingly.
