SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In November of 1993, the Secretary announced 
the reorganization of HUD's field structure to improve performance and 
provide HUD's customers--members of the public and program 
beneficiaries--more efficient service and less bureaucracy by 
empowering HUD's employees to more effectively serve these customers. 
As part of that ongoing process, on December 6, 1994 at 59 FR 62739, 
the Department published a field reorganization Revocation and 
Redelegation of Authority pertaining to Office of Housing programs. On 
June 26, 1996, at 61 FR 33130, and on February 3, 1997, at 62 FR 5030, 
the Department published amendments to the field reorganization 
Revocation and Redelegation of Authority. In the present document, 
authority over the single family housing program functions listed 
within the redelegation at 59 FR 62739, for the geographic area of the 
Dallas, TX field office, is revoked from the Housing Director in the 
Fort Worth, TX field office, and redelegated to the Supervisory Single 
Family Housing Specialist in the Dallas, TX field office.
    As the Department strives to provide increasingly efficient 
service, the ability to do more with less is of critical importance. 
Through this document, the Department seeks to shift certain powers and 
authorities in order to best utilize its finite resources to the 
benefit of the customer.
    Accordingly, the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing 
Commissioner amends the field reorganization Revocation and 
Redelegation of Authority at 59 FR 62739, and revokes, in part, a prior 
amendment to the field reorganization at 61 FR 33130, as follows:
