Litigation

Federal District Court for the Northern District of California will soon decide whether to order the FHFA to commence a rulemaking process, which the agency failed to do before releasing its July 6, 2010 rules.  Steps include:

  1. Proposed Rules will be published in the Federal Register.
  2. Public Comment is invited for a period of from 30 to 180 days.
  3. Final Rule. the agency publishes its response to issues raised by public comments and an updated analysis and justification for the rule, including an analysis of any new information from public comments.

If the Court acts on its December 20, 2010 order and concludes the FHFA should conduct a rulemaking process, you can help save PACE by submitting comments to the FHFA that address points it made when it established its July 6, 2010 rules.  If you would like to comment on the validity of PACE assessments, the de minimus financial risk associated with PACE financings, the PACE program guidelines that ensure safety for all participants, or any other topic, please contact us directly, register on this site, take a look at these PACE FAQs, and please check back often for updated information.  As soon as the Court rules and a process is established, we will provide detailed information here on how you can help.
