The following excerpt is from State of Cal. v. Block, 663 F.2d 855 (9th Cir. 1981):
4 There are fifteen provisions for the Secretary to promulgate regulations, fourteen of which relate to specific provisions within the Act. Since there are no specific provisions permitting promulgation of regulations pertaining to the liability of the states, the authority must be derived from the general enabling statute, 7 U.S.C. 2013 (1976). See Hettleman v. Bergland, 642 F.2d 63, 66 (4th Cir. 1981).
5 See note 3.
