 CHAPTER X--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR HOUSING--FEDERAL HOUSING 
 COMMISSIONER, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (INTERSTATE 
                    LAND SALES REGISTRATION PROGRAM)
 
PART 1720_FORMAL PROCEDURES AND RULES OF PRACTICE--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart D_Adjudicatory Proceedings
 
Sec.  1720.210  Hearings--suspension notice pursuant to Sec.  

1710.45(a) of this chapter.

    (a) A developer, upon receipt of a suspension notice issued pursuant 
to Sec.  1710.45(a) of this chapter, may obtain a hearing by filing a 
written request in accordance with the instructions regarding such 
request contained in the suspension notice. Such a request must be filed 
within 15 days of receipt of the suspension notice and must be 
accompanied by an answer and 3 copies thereof signed by the respondent 
or the respondent's attorney conforming to the requirements of Sec.  
1720.245. Filing of a motion for a more definite statement pursuant to 
Sec.  1720.315 shall alter the period of time to request a hearing in 
accordance with Sec.  1720.240.
    (b) When a hearing is requested pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 
section, such hearing shall be held within 20 days of receipt of the 
request. The time and place for hearing shall be fixed with due regard 
for the public interest and the convenience and necessity of the parties 
or their representatives.
    (c) A request for hearing filed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 
section shall not interrupt or annul the effectiveness of the suspension 
notice, and suspension of the effective date of the Statement or 
amendment shall continue until vacated by order of the Secretary or 
administrative law judge. Except in cases in which the developer shall 
waive or withdraw the request for such hearing, or shall fail to pursue 
the same by appropriate appearance at a hearing duly scheduled, noticed 
and convened, the suspended filing shall be reinstated in the event of 
failure of the Secretary to schedule, give notice of or hold a duly-
requested hearing within the time specified in paragraph (b) of this 
section, or in the event of a finding that the Secretary has failed to 
support at such hearing the propriety of the suspension with respect to 
the material issues of law and fact raised by the answer. Such 
reinstatement shall be effective on the date on which the filing would 
have become effective had no notice of suspension been issued with 
respect to it.
    (d) If there is an outstanding suspension notice under Sec.  
1710.45(a) with respect to the same matter for which a suspension order 
under Sec.  1710.45(b)(3) is issued, the notice and order shall be 
consolidated for the purposes of hearing. In the event that allegations 
upon which the suspension notice and suspension order are based are 
identical, only one answer need be filed.
