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.
