- (a) **Appropriate order.** HUD will review the arbitrator's recommendation provided in accordance with [§ 3288.40(h)](/cfr/24/3288.40.md?p=h), any settlement offers presented by the parties in accordance with [§ 3288.40(i)](/cfr/24/3288.40.md?p=i), and the information gathered during the arbitration, and will issue an appropriate order in which HUD may accept, modify, or reject the recommendations. HUD will forward a copy of the order to the arbitrator and to each of the parties and the homeowner, whether or not a party chose to participate in the arbitration.
- (b) **Contents of order.** If HUD finds that a defect exists, the order will include the following:
  - (1) Assignment of responsibility for the correction and repair of all defects and associated costs; and
  - (2) If the manufacturer, retailer, or installer is responsible for corrective action, a date by which the correction and repair of each defect must be completed, taking into consideration the seriousness of the defect.
- (c) **Failure to comply.** Failure to comply with an order issued by HUD is a violation of section 610(a)(5) of the Act ([42 U.S.C. 5409(a)(5)](/usc/42/5409.md?p=a-5)).
