Delegations of Authority and Organization

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the 
regulations for delegations of authority relating to the award of 
service fellowships in order to add two new authorities to the existing 
delegation, to update the list of those authorized to approve the 
authorities and to add additional officials to the list of those 
already delegated authority. This action gives officials that designate 
persons to receive service fellowships, the authorities to appoint 
service fellows, and to determine specific stipend rates for individual 
actions within the ranges established under an approved service 
fellowship plan.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 4, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Rawlings, Division of Management 
Systems and Policy (HFA-340), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-443-4976.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending the regulations in Sec. 5.26 
Service fellowships (21 CFR 5.26) to redelegate two additional service 
fellowship authorities given to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs in a 
January 8, 1993, memorandum, from the Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Health Management Operations, Public Health Service. These authorities 
add to the authority to designate persons to receive service 
fellowships, the authorities to appoint service fellows, and to 
determine specific stipend rates for individual actions within the 
ranges established under an approved service fellowship plan. The 
authority to approve service fellowship plans and exceptions thereto 
has not been redelegated to FDA. FDA is additionally amending Sec. 5.26 
to reflect organizational changes within the centers, and to add the 
Deputy Director for Regulations and Policy, Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health, the Office Directors, Center for Biologics 
Evaluation and Research, and the Director, Office of Human Resources 
Management, Office of Management Systems, to those already delegated 
authority.
    Further redelegation of the authority delegated is not authorized. 
Authority delegated to a position by title may be exercised by a person 
officially designated to serve in such position in an acting capacity 
or on a temporary basis.
