DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4837-D-42]


Delegation of Authority--Apportionments/Reapportionment Schedules 
and Advice of Allotments Revocation of Any Prior Delegations of 
Authority

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of delegation of authority. Notice of revocation of any 
prior delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: On July 30, 1997, HUD transferred the Office of Budget and its 
functions form the Office of Administration to the Office of the Chief 
Financial Officer. In implementing the transfer of budget functions, on 
August 21, 1997, HUD's then Deputy Secretary delegated the authority to 
sign Apportionments/Reapportionment Schedules (SF-132), and Advice of 
Allotments (HUD-158) to the Director of Budget. As a result of the 
transfer of budget functions to the Office of the CFO, the Director of 
Budget is now the Assistant Chief Financial Officer (ACFO) for Budget. 
The ACFO for Budget has the responsibility for the Department-wide 
budget, including signature authority for apportionments/
reapportionments for HUD. The budget office prepares and submits the 
Department's requested apportionments to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) and after receiving OMB approval, provides allocations of 
funds to Assistant Secretaries and other officials as appropriate. 
Under this delegation, the Secretary is delegating the authority to 
sign Apportionments/Reapportionments Schedules and Advice of Allotments 
to the Chief Financial Officer. This delegation will more clearly 
define the existing chain of command and more accurately reflect the 
Department's current organizational responsibilities for budget 
functions.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 1, 2003.

Financial Officer, Management Staff; 451 7th St. Southwest Room 3126,
