DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Office of the Secretary
[Docket No. D-94-1057; FR-3701-D-01]

 
Delegation of Authority

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: This notice delegates the power and authority of the Secretary 
to order a Limited Denial of Participation, affecting certain 
contractors and participants in programs of the Department of Housing 
and Urban Development (``HUD'' or ``Department''), to appropriate 
Assistant Secretaries of the Department, with the authority to 
redelegate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronnie A. Wainwright, Office of 
General Counsel, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th 
Street SW., room 10240, Washington, DC 20410, (202) 708-4184. (This is 
not a toll-free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HUD regulations, at 24 CFR 24.700, are 
being modified to provide that officials designated by the Secretary 
are authorized to order Limited Denials of Participation (LDP). This 
notice designates the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing 
Commissioner, the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity, the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing and 
the Assistant Secretary for Administration to order an LDP and 
authorizes the Assistant Secretaries to redelegate such authority, 
under separate Notices of Redelegation, to the appropriate Field 
officials.
    In November of 1993, the Secretary announced the reorganization of 
HUD's field structure to improve HUD's performance and provide HUD's 
customers--members of the public and program beneficiaries---more 
efficient service and less bureaucracy by empowering HUD employees to 
serve HUD's customers more effectively. In implementing this objective, 
the Secretary determined to remove the Regional organizational layer 
and provide officials at lower organizational levels full authority to 
carry out program functions, with these field office officials 
reporting directly to program officials. This delegation of authority 
implements the Secretary's objective with respect to ordering LDPs.
    The Department will shortly publish a Final Rule modifying 24 CFR 
24.700 to state that HUD officials authorized by the Secretary of 
Housing and Urban Development may order LDPs.
    Accordingly, the Secretary delegates authority as follows:

Section A. Authority Delegated

    The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development delegates to the 
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner, the 
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, the 
Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, the 
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing and the Assistant 
Secretary for Administration the Secretary's authority to order Limited 
Denials of Participation, pursuant to 24 CFR 24.700.

Section B. Authority to Redelegate

    The authority redelegated in Section A above may be further 
redelegated to employees of HUD.

    Authority: Sec. 7(d) of the Department of HUD Act (42 U.S.C. 
3535(d)).

    Dated: April 8, 1994.
Henry G. Cisneros,
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
