SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice published on March 16, 1995 (60 
FR 14294), HUD issued delegations and redelegations regarding civil 
rights related program requirements of HUD programs. In that notice, 
HUD officials redelegated this authority to the Directors of the 
Program Operations and Compliance Centers (POCCs). However, FHEO has 
since been restructured and the position of POCC Director was 
eliminated. Through this notice, the Assistant Secretary for FHEO and 
the General Deputy Assistant Secretary for FHEO redelegate this 
authority to certain FHEO staff and to the FHEO Hub Directors.
    Accordingly, the Assistant Secretary for FHEO and the General 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for FHEO redelegate authority as follows:

Section A. Authority Redelegated

    The Assistant Secretary for FHEO redelegates to the General Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for FHEO the authority regarding civil rights

Assistant Secretary for FHEO redelegates this authority to the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Programs, to the Director of 
the Office of Programs, and to the FHEO Hub Directors.

Section B. Authority Excepted

    The authority redelegated in this notice does not include the 
authority to issue or to waive regulations.

Section C. Authority To Redelegate

    The authority redelegated to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Programs, to the Director of the Office of Programs, 
and to the FHEO Hub Directors may not be further redelegated.

Section D. Authority Superseded

    All prior redelegations of authority regarding civil rights-related 
program requirements of HUD programs made within the office of the 
Assistant Secretary for FHEO to the Directors of POCCs are superseded, 
including a redelegation published on March 16, 1995 (60 FR 14294).
