Opportunity
[Docket No. D-94-1058; FR-3704-D-01]

 

Amendment of Redelegations of Authority

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of amendment of redelegations of authority.

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

SUMMARY: This notice amends current redelegations of authority from the 
Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity under the 
Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as 
amended by the Fair Housing Amendments of 1988) to implement the field 
reorganization.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 12, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurence D. Pearl, Office of Fair 
Housing and Equal Opportunity, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 7th Street, SW., room 5226, Washington, DC 20410. 
Telephone (202) 708-0288. (This is not a toll-free number.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 notice amends current redelegations of authority from the 
Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity under the 
Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as 
amended by the Fair Housing Amendments of 1988) to meet the objectives 
of the reorganization for the Office of Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity. This notice amends these redelegations of authority, 
including the Redelegation of Authority published on March 30, 1989 at 
54 FR 13122
(FR-2614), to make the following modification: All references to ``HUD 
Regional Administrators-Regional Housing Commissioners'' are deleted 
and all power and authority redelegated to them revoked.
    It is anticipated that in the near future the Office of Fair 
Housing and Equal Opportunity will publish further guidance in the 
Federal Register to field staff concerning their specific functions and 
responsibilities.

Amendment of Redelegations of Authority

    All redelegations of authority from the Assistant Secretary for 
Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity under the Fair Housing Act (Title 
VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended by the Fair Housing 
Amendments of 1988), including the Redelegation of Authority published 
on March 30, 1989 at 54 FR 13122 (FR-2614), are hereby amended to make 
the following modifications: all references to ``HUD Regional 
Administrators-Regional Housing Commissioners'' are deleted and all

Development Act, 42 U.S.C. 3535(d).
