The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development cited recent weather conditions in its decision to extend a deadline for the Secure and Fair Enforcement Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008.
The deadline for public comment on a proposed rule that addresses HUD’s responsibilities under the SAFE Act was originally set for yesterday.
But today, the housing agency said the deadline was extended until March 5.
“Due to the severe inclement weather not only in Washington, D.,C., but in the mid-Atlantic states that resulted in the closing of the federal government as well as many local governments and private and public businesses and organizations, HUD determined that an extension of the public comment period is appropriate to ensure interested parties have the opportunity to comment on this proposed rule,” HUD explained.
