    Part H, Chapter HN (National Institutes of Health) of the Statement 
of Organization, Functions, and Delegations of Authority for the 
Department of Health and Human Services (40 FR 22859, May 27, 1975, as 
amended most recently at 61 FR 3722, February 1, 1996) is amended to 
reflect the reorganization of the Office of the Director, National

improving the integration of related administrative and management 
areas and streamlining operations.

    (1) Under the heading Office of Grants and Contracts (HNT15), 
delete the title and functional statement in their entirety.

Departmental levels and Federal agencies which affect budget,
