24 C.F.R. § 14.100
§ 14.100 Time computation. (24 CFR Part 14)
Operative Text
Time periods stated in this part shall be computed in accordance with the Department's rules with respect to computation of time which apply to the underlying proceeding.
Section 14.100 of 24 CFR Part 14 establishes that any deadline or time period referenced within Part 14 is not calculated using a standalone method, but instead follows whatever time-computation rules govern the underlying HUD proceeding to which the matter relates. In practice, this means the clock-counting method — such as how to handle weekends, holidays, or the starting day — is borrowed from the rules of the specific proceeding at issue. The provision ensures consistency between Part 14's timelines and the broader procedural framework in which a case is being heard.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers dealing with HUD proceedings governed by 24 CFR Part 14 generally track deadlines by first identifying the rules of the underlying proceeding, since § 14.100 directs that those rules control how time periods are counted. Compliant operators typically confirm whether the applicable proceeding rules exclude weekends and federal holidays, treat the triggering event's date as day zero or day one, and apply any other counting conventions from that proceeding's framework. Keeping a clear record of which underlying proceeding's time rules apply helps ensure that responses, submissions, or other actions fall within the correct window under § 14.100.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 14.100, tenants and other parties involved in a HUD matter covered by 24 CFR Part 14 should be aware that deadlines are calculated according to the time-computation rules of the specific underlying proceeding — not a single universal standard. This means that the method for counting days, including how holidays or weekends are treated, can vary depending on which HUD proceeding is involved. Tenants who need to understand how a particular deadline is calculated may find it helpful to review the rules of the relevant underlying proceeding or to consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with HUD administrative processes.
