Sec.  10.20  Petition for rulemaking.



    (a) Any interested person may petition the Secretary for the 

issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule. Each petition shall:

    (1) Be submitted to the Rules Docket Clerk, Room 5218, Department of 

Housing and Urban Development, Washington, DC 20410;

    (2) Set forth the text of substance of the rule or amendment 

proposed or specify the rule sought to be repealed;

    (3) Explain the interest of the petitioner in the action sought; and

    (4) Set forth all data and arguments available to the petitioner in 

support of the action sought.

    (b) No public procedures will be held directly on the petition 

before its disposition. If the Secretary finds that the

petition contains adequate justification, a rulemaking proceeding will 

be initiated or a final rule will be issued as appropriate. If the 

Secretary finds that the petition does not contain adequate 

justification, the petition will be denied by letter or other notice, 

with a brief statement of the ground for denial. The Secretary may 

consider new evidence at any time; however, repetitious petitions for 

rulemaking will not be considered.
