# §58.72. HUD or State actions on RROFs and certifications.


The actions which HUD (or a State) may take with respect to a recipient's environmental certification and RROF are as follows:

- (a) In the absence of any receipt of objection to the contrary, except as provided in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section, HUD (or the State) will assume the validity of the certification and RROF and will approve these documents after expiration of the 15-day period prescribed by statute.
- (b) HUD (or the state) may disapprove a certification and RROF if it has knowledge that the responsible entity or other participants in the development process have not complied with the items in [§ 58.75](/cfr/24/58.75.md), or that the RROF and certification are inaccurate.
- (c) In cases in which HUD has approved a certification and RROF but subsequently learns (e.g., through monitoring) that the recipient violated [§ 58.22](/cfr/24/58.22.md) or the recipient or responsible entity otherwise failed to comply with a clearly applicable environmental authority, HUD shall impose appropriate remedies and sanctions in accord with the law and regulations for the program under which the violation was found.
