DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families


Delegation of Authority

    Notice is hereby given that, under the authority vested in me by 
the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services, I have 
redelegated to the Commissioner, Administration on Children, Youth and 
Families, with the authority to further redelegate to the Director, 
Family Youth Services Bureau, the authority to approve/disapprove 
cooperative research or demonstration projects under Section 1110 of 
the Social Security Act, and as amended hereafter, when such projects 
pertain to the abstinence education activities referenced in Public Law 
108-447 at Title II, Division F.
    This delegation excludes the authority to submit reports to 
Congress. Further, this delegation shall be exercised under the 
Department's existing delegation and policy on regulations and under 
financial and administrative requirements applicable to all 
Administration for Children and Families authorities. In addition, 
where all or part of any research or demonstration project is wholly 
financed with Federal funds made available under section 1110 of the 
Social Security Act, without any State, local, or other non-Federal 
financial participation, that project must be approved by the Secretary 
of Health and Human Services.
    I have ratified any actions taken by the Commissioner, 
Administration on Children, Youth and Families, or any other 
Administration on Children, Youth and Families officials, which, in 
effect, involved the exercise of this authority prior to the effective 
date of this delegation. This delegation was effective on the date of 
signature.

    Dated: January 21, 2005.
Wade F. Horn,
Assistant Secretary for Children and Families.
