                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
    CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 107_NONDISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN HOUSING UNDER 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11063--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 107.45  Resolution of matters.

    (a) Attempts to resolve and remedy matters found in a complaint 
investigation or a compliance review shall be made through the methods 
of conference, conciliation, and persuasion.
    (b) Resolution of matters pursuant to this section and Sec. 107.40 
need not be attempted where similar efforts by another Federal agency 
have been unsuccessful in ending and remedying the violation found with 
respect to the same respondent.
    (c) Efforts to remedy matters shall be directed toward achieving a 
just resolution of the probable violation and obtaining assurance(s) 
that the respondent will satisfactorily remedy any violation of E.O. 
11063 and will take actions to eliminate the discriminatory practices 
and prevent reoccurrences. Compensation to individuals from the 
respondent may also be considered.
    (d) The terms of settlements shall be reduced to a written 
agreement, signed by the respondent and the Assistant Secretary for 
FH&EO or a designee. Such settlements shall seek to protect the 
interests of the complainant, if any, other persons similarly affected, 
and the public interest. A written notice of the disposition of matters 
pursuant to this section and of the terms of settlements shall be given 
to the Area Manager by the Assistant Secretary for FH&EO or a designee 
and to the complainant, if any. When the Assistant Secretary or a 
designee determines that there has been a violation of a settlement 
agreement, the Assistant Secretary immediately may take action to impose 
sanctions provided under this part, including the referral of the matter 
to the Attorney General for appropriate action.
