Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Standards of adequate farm housing and other buildings; criteria** The Secretary, for the purposes of this subchapter, shall have the power to determine and prescribe the standards of adequate farm housing and other buildings, by farms or localities, taking into consideration, among other factors, the type of housing which will provide decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling for the needs of the family using the housing, the type and character of the farming operations to be conducted, and the size and earning capacity of the land. The Secretary shall approve a residential building as meeting such standards if the building is constructed in accordance with (1) the minimum standards prescribed by the Secretary, (2) the minimum property standards prescribed by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for mortgages insured under title II of the National Housing Act [[12 U.S.C. 1707](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title12-section1707&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.], (3) the standards contained in any of the voluntary national model building codes, or (4) in the case of manufactured housing, the standards referred to in [section 1472(e) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section1472/e&num=0&edition=prelim). To the maximum extent feasible, the Secretary shall promote the use of energy saving techniques through standards established by such Secretary for newly constructed residential housing assisted under this subchapter. Such standards shall, insofar as is practicable, be consistent with the standards established pursuant to section 526 of the National Housing Act [[12 U.S.C. 1735f–4](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title12-section1735f–4&num=0&edition=prelim)]

**(b) Terms or conditions of leases or occupancy agreements subject to change with approval of Secretary** The Secretary may require any recipient of a loan or grant to agree that the availability of improvements constructed or repaired with the proceeds of the loan or grant under this subchapter shall not be a justification for directly or indirectly changing the terms or conditions of the lease or occupancy agreement with the occupants of such farms to the latter’s disadvantage without the approval of the Secretary.
**(c) Rural Housing Insurance Fund for payment of expenditures respecting construction defects; judicial review prohibition** The Secretary is authorized, after October 1, 1977, with respect to any unit or dwelling newly constructed during the period beginning eighteen months prior to October 12, 1977, and purchased with financial assistance authorized by this subchapter which he finds to have structural defects to make expenditures for (1) correcting such defects, (2) paying the claims of the owner of the property arising from such defects, or (3) acquiring title to the property, if such assistance is requested by the owner of the property within thirty-six months after financial assistance under this subchapter is rendered to the owner of the property or, in the case of property with respect to which assistance was made available within eighteen months prior to October 12, 1977, within thirty-six months after October 12, 1977. Expenditures pursuant to this subsection may be paid from the Rural Housing Insurance Fund. Decisions by the Secretary regarding such expenditures or payments under this subsection, and the terms and conditions under which the same are approved or disapproved, shall not be subject to judicial review.
**(d) Defaults involving security interest in tribal lands** In the event of default involving a security interest in tribal allotted or trust land, the Secretary shall only pursue liquidation after offering to transfer the account to an eligible tribal member, the tribe, or the Indian housing authority serving the tribe or tribes. If the Secretary subsequently proceeds to liquidate the account, the Secretary shall not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or alienate the property except to one of the entities described in the preceding sentence.
**(e) Terms and conditions; regulations** The Secretary shall, by regulation, prescribe the terms and conditions under which expenditures and payments may be made under the provisions of this section.
**(f) Housing in underserved areas**
(1) **Designation of underserved area** — The Secretary shall designate as targeted underserved areas 100 counties and communities in each fiscal year that have severe, unmet housing needs as determined by the Secretary. A county or community shall be eligible for designation if, during the 5-year period preceding the year in which the designation is made, it has received an average annual amount of assistance under this subchapter that is substantially lower than the average annual amount of such assistance received during that 5-year period by other counties and communities in the State that are eligible for such assistance calculated on a per capita basis, and has—
(A) 20 percent or more of its population at or below the poverty level; and
(B) 10 percent or more of its population residing in substandard housing.
As used in this paragraph, the term “poverty level” has the meaning given the term in [section 5302(a)(9) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section5302/a/9&num=0&edition=prelim).
(2) **Preferences** — In selecting projects to receive assistance with amounts set aside under paragraph (4), the Secretary shall give preference to any project located in a county or community that has, at the time of designation and as determined by the Secretary—
(A) 28 percent or more of its population at or below poverty level; and
(B) 13 percent or more of its population residing in substandard housing.
In designating underserved areas under paragraph (1), in each fiscal year the Secretary shall designate not less than 5 counties or communities that contain tribal allotted or Indian trust land.
(3) **Outreach program and review**
(A) *Outreach* — The Secretary shall publicize the availability to targeted underserved areas of grants and loans under this subchapter and promote, to the maximum extent feasible, efforts to apply for those grants and loans for housing in targeted underserved areas.
(B) *Review* — Upon the receipt of data from the 1990 decennial census, the Secretary shall conduct a review of any designations made under paragraph (1) and preferences given under paragraph (2) and the eligibility of communities and counties for such designation and preference, examining the effects of such data on such eligibility. The Secretary shall submit to the Congress, not later than 9 months after the availability of the data, a report regarding the review, which shall include any recommendations of the Secretary for modifications in the standards for designation and preference.
(4) **Set-aside for targeted underserved areas and colonias**
(A) *In general* — The Secretary shall set aside and reserve for assistance in targeted underserved areas an amount equal to 5.0 percent in each fiscal year of the aggregate amount of lending authority under sections 1472, 1474, 1484, 1485, and 1490d of this title. During each fiscal year, the Secretary shall set aside from amounts available for assistance under paragraphs (2) and (5) of [section 1490a(a) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section1490a/a&num=0&edition=prelim), an amount that is appropriate to provide assistance with respect to the lending authority under sections 1484 and 1485 of this title that is set aside for such fiscal year. The Secretary shall establish a procedure to reallocate any assistance set aside in any fiscal year for targeted underserved areas that has not been expended during a reasonable period in such year for use in (i) colonias that have applied for and are eligible for assistance under subparagraph (B) or paragraph (7) and did not receive assistance, and (ii) counties and communities eligible for designation as targeted underserved areas but which were not so designated. The procedure shall also provide that any assistance reallocated under the preceding sentence that has not been expended by a reasonable date established by the Secretary (which shall be after the expiration of the period referred to in the preceding sentence) shall be made available and allocated under the laws and regulations relating to such assistance, notwithstanding this subsection.
(B) *Priority for colonias*
(i) Notwithstanding the designation of counties and communities as targeted underserved areas under paragraph (1) and the provisions of [section 1490 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section1490&num=0&edition=prelim), colonias shall be eligible for assistance with amounts reserved under subparagraph (A), as provided in this subparagraph.
(ii) In providing assistance from amounts reserved under this paragraph in each fiscal year, the Secretary shall give priority to any application for assistance to be used in, or in close proximity to, and serving the residents of, a colonia located in a State described under clause (iii). After the Secretary has provided assistance under the priority for colonias located in a State in an amount equal to 5 percent of the total amount of assistance allocated under this subchapter to such State in the fiscal year, the priority shall not apply to any applications for colonias in such State.
(iii) This paragraph shall apply to any State for any fiscal year following 2 fiscal years in which the State obligated the total amount of assistance allocated to it under this subchapter during each of such 2 fiscal years.
(5) **List of underserved areas** — The Secretary shall publish annually the current list of targeted underserved areas in the Federal Register.

The Secretary shall adjust the loan or grant amount under such sections to take account of project preparation costs that have been paid from grant proceeds under this paragraph and that normally would be reimbursed with proceeds of the loan or grant.
(C) *Approval* — The Secretary shall approve a properly submitted application or issue a written statement indicating the reasons for disapproval not later than 60 days after the receipt of the application.

(A) *In general* — In providing assistance under this subchapter in any fiscal year described under subparagraph (B), each State in which colonias are located shall give priority to any application for assistance to be used in a colonia. The priority under this subparagraph shall not apply in such State after 5 percent of the assistance available in such fiscal year has been allocated for colonias qualifying for the priority.
(B) *Covered years* — This paragraph shall apply to any fiscal year following 2 fiscal years in which the State did not obligate the total amount of assistance allocated it under this subchapter during each of such 2 fiscal years.
(8) **“Colonia” defined** — For purposes of this subsection, the term “colonia” means any identifiable community that—

TITLE 12—BANKS AND BANKING
§ 1735f–4
§ 1735f. Water and sewerage facilities
Notwithstanding any other provision of this
chapter, no mortgage which covers new con-
struction shall be approved for insurance under
this chapter (except pursuant to a commitment
made prior to August 10, 1965) if the mortgaged
property includes housing which is not served by
a public or adequate community water and sew-
erage system: Provided, That this limitation
shall be applicable only to property which is not
served by a system approved by the Secretary
pursuant to subchapter IX–A of this chapter, as
such subchapter existed immediately before De-
cember 15, 1989, and which is situated in an area
certified by appropriate local officials to be an
area where the establishment of public or ade-
quate community water and sewerage systems is
economically feasible: Provided further, That for
purposes of this section the economic feasibility
of establishing such public or adequate commu-
nity water and sewerage systems shall be deter-
mined without regard to whether such establish-
ment is authorized by law or is subject to ap-
proval by one or more local governments or pub-
lic bodies.
