AGENCY: Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the 
Secretary.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    Notice is hereby given that I have delegated to the Assistant 
Secretary for Preparedness and Response, the authority under Section 
231 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 238), as amended, to accept gifts, 
excluding gifts of real property, insofar as it applies to the 
functions assigned to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Preparedness and Response. This authority was delegated to the 
Assistant Secretary for Health by the Secretary on December 9, 1982.
    This authority is to be executed in accordance with the 
requirements of Section 231, PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 239), as amended, and 
any other applicable statutes and regulations of the Department and 
PHS. This authority may be redelegated.
    Exercise of these authorities is concurrent to and does not 
supplant existing delegations of authority from the Assistant Secretary 
of Health or the Secretary. Redelegations previously made that are not 
inconsistent with this delegation may remain in effect until revised.
    This delegation is effective upon date of signature.
