Redelegation of Authority for President's Crime Prevention 
Council's Ounce of Prevention Grant Program

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of redelegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: The authority to administer the Ounce of Prevention Grant 
Program was delegated from the Ounce of Prevention Council to the 
Secretary via Inter-Agency Agreement effective October 3, 1995. The 
Secretary has redelegated the authority to administer the program to 
the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, via a 
redelegation published elsewhere in today's Federal Register. The 
Assistant Secretary for CPD is further redelegating the authority to 
administer the Ounce of Prevention Program to the Director of the 
Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community Task Force, which is a division 
within CPD.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 24, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Roy Priest, Director, Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community Task Force, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW., Room 
7136, Washington, DC 20410, (202) 708-2290. This is not a toll-free 
number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Ounce of Prevention Council was 
established by section 30101(a) of title III, subtitle A of the Violent 
Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Public Law 103-322, 42 
U.S.C. 13741. Section 30102 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 13742, authorizes the 
Ounce of Prevention Grant Program. Under this program, the Council may 
make grants to assist youth crime and violence prevention programs. Up 
to $1,500,000 was appropriated for this purpose in fiscal year 1995, 
pursuant to section 30104 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 13744.
    In accordance with section 30101(a)(1)(A) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 
13741, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (``Secretary'') 
is a member of the Council. Section 30101(a)(3) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 
13741, authorizes the Council to delegate any of its functions or 
powers to a member or members of the Council. By Inter-Agency Agreement 
effective October 3, 1995, the Council has delegated to the Secretary 
its authority to make final decisions regarding the selection of 
grantees, the awarding of grants, and the monitoring of grants, 
pursuant to section 30102 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 13742. HUD will award 
the grants competitively in Federally-designated Empowerment Zone and 
Enterprise Community areas, including Supplemental Empowerment Zones, 
to support local, community-based efforts to coordinate and, to the 
extent possible, integrate youth crime and violence prevention programs 
or services.
    Consistent with the Inter-Agency Agreement delegating to the 
Secretary the Council's authority to make grants pursuant to section 
30102 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 13742, the Secretary has elsewhere in 
today's Federal Register redelegated to the Assistant Secretary for CPD 
the authority to administer the Ounce of Prevention Program. That 
redelegation authorizes the Assistant Secretary to further redelegate 
such authority.
