    In the present redelegation, the Assistant Secretary for Housing 
redelegates to each Office of Housing Director the authority to order

family housing programs to the Single Family Housing Division Director 
for each field office; and the authority to order LDPs relating to 
multifamily housing programs (including hospital mortgage insurance 
programs) to the Multifamily Division Director for each field office.
    Accordingly, the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing 
Commissioner redelegates authority as follows:
