24 C.F.R. § 14.300
§ 14.300 Jurisdiction of adjudicative officer. (24 CFR Part 14)
Operative Text
Any provision in the Department's rules and regulations other than this part which limits or terminates the jurisdiction of an adjudicative officer upon the effective date of his or her decision in the underlying proceeding shall not in any way affect his or her jurisdiction to render a decision under this part.
Under 24 CFR Part 14 § 14.300, when a HUD adjudicative officer issues a decision in an underlying proceeding, any rule elsewhere in HUD's regulations that would normally end that officer's authority at that point does not cut off the officer's power to also issue a decision on attorney fees or related matters under Part 14. In other words, the jurisdictional clock that runs out in the main case does not simultaneously extinguish the officer's authority over Part 14 proceedings. The two jurisdictional tracks are treated as independent of one another.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers involved in HUD administrative proceedings should be aware that under § 14.300, an adjudicative officer retains authority to rule on Part 14 matters—such as applications for attorney fees and other expenses—even after the underlying case has concluded. Compliant operators generally keep records of all costs and fees incurred throughout a HUD proceeding, recognizing that the officer's jurisdiction over those ancillary matters survives the close of the main proceeding. Understanding this separation of jurisdictional timelines helps operators anticipate that a proceeding may not be fully resolved the moment the primary decision is issued.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants who have participated in a HUD administrative proceeding should know that § 14.300 preserves the adjudicative officer's authority to decide Part 14 matters—such as fee awards—even after the main case decision has been entered. This means that rights or claims arising under Part 14 are not automatically foreclosed simply because the underlying proceeding has ended. Tenants seeking to understand how this provision may apply to their situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or review HUD's published guidance on Part 14 proceedings.
