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
