24 C.F.R. § 1720.630 Decision on appeal or review.
Title 24 - Housing and Urban Development
(a) Upon appeal from or review of an administrative law judge's decision, the appeals officer will consider such parts of the record as are cited or as may be necessary to resolve the issues and, in addition, to the extent necessary or desirable, will exercise all the powers which could have been exercised had the appeals officer made the initial decision. Unless exceptional circumstances are present, however, all appeals and reviews will be determined upon the record made before the administrative law judge. (b) The appeals officer may affirm, reverse, modify, set aside or remand for further proceedings, in whole or in part, the administrative law judge's decision. The appellate order shall set forth the reasons upon which the decision is based. (c) In those cases where the appeals officer believes that further information or additional arguments of the parties are needed as to the form and content of the rule or order to be issued, the appeals officer may withhold final decision pending the receipt of such additional information or argument under procedures specified. (d) The decision of the appeals officer shall be final 10 days after service upon the parties. (e) The appeals officer shall render a decision within 30 days after the date of receipt of the reply brief or the taking of additional information and evidence, whichever is later.
