SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There has been a reorganization of the 
Office of General Counsel and HUD's Field structure in order to provide 
the best service possible to HUD program and administrative offices, 
members of the public, and program beneficiaries relying on HUD's legal 
services. Prior to the reorganization, the General Counsel had 
redelegated, to the positions of Associate General Counsel for Equal 
Opportunity and Administrative Law and Regional Counsel, the authority 
to handle claims relating to the Federal Tort Claims Act and the 
Military Personnel and Civilian Employees' Claims Act. As under the 
reorganization these positions no longer exist, the General Counsel is 
redelegating the authority to handle these responsibilities to the new 
positions of Associate General Counsel for Human Resources Law and 
Field Assistant General Counsel.
    Accordingly, the General Counsel redelegates his authority under 
the Federal Tort Claims Act, as implemented at 24 CFR 17.7, and his 
authority under the Military Personnel and Civilian Employees' Claims 
Act, as implemented at 24 CFR 17.47, as follows:

Section A. Authority Redelegated

    1. The Associate General Counsel for Human Resources Law is 
redelegated the power and authority: (a) To consider, ascertain, 
adjust, determine, compromise, allow, deny, or otherwise dispose of

ascertain, adjust, determine, compromise, allow, deny, or otherwise 
dispose of claims under the Military Personnel and Civilian Employees 
Claims Act.
    2. Each Field Assistant General Counsel is redelegate the power and 
authority: (a) To consider, ascertain, adjust, determine, compromise, 
allow, deny, or otherwise dispose of claims under the Federal Tort 
Claims Act arising out of occurrences within the HUD geographical area 
for which the Field Assistant General Counsel is responsible; and (b) 
to consider, ascertain, adjust, determine, compromise, allow, deny, or 
otherwise dispose of claims under the Military Personnel and Civilian 
Employees' Claims Act by HUD employees within the geographical area for 
which the Field Assistant General Counsel is responsible.

Section B. Authority Superseded

    This redelegation of authority supersedes the redelegation of 
authority to the Associate General Counsel for Equal Opportunity and 
Administrative Law and to Regional Counsel, published on January 17, 
1983 at 48 FR 2069.

    Authority: Section 7(d), Department of Housing and Urban 
Development Act, 42 U.S.C. 3535(d); 24 CFR 17.7 and 17.47.

    Dated: October 11, 1994.
