DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


Statement of Delegation of Authority; Health Resources and 
Services Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

    I hereby delegate to the Administrator, Health Resources and 
Services Administration (HRSA), and the Director, Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC), with authority to redelegate, the 
authority vested in the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human 
Services under Title III, Part R, Section 399BB, titled ``Autism, 
Education, Early Detection, and Intervention,'' of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act, as amended, insofar as such authority pertains to 
the functions of HRSA and CDC, respectively. HRSA and CDC will 
coordinate and collaborate with each other, with the National 
Institutes of Health (NIH), and with the Administration for Children 
and Families (ACF), as appropriate, in implementing this authority. In 
addition, nothing in this delegation of authority would preclude NIH 
from pursuing research and training activities authorized by the PHS 
Act. HRSA and CDC will also coordinate and collaborate with other 
agencies, as appropriate, in implementing this authority.
    This delegation excludes the authority to issue regulations, to 
establish advisory committees and councils and appoint their members, 
and shall be exercised in accordance with the Department's applicable 
policies, procedures, and guidelines.
    I hereby affirm and ratify any actions taken by the Administrator, 
HRSA, the Director, CDC, or other HRSA and CDC officials, which involve 
the exercise of these authorities prior to the effective date of this 
delegation.
    This delegation is effective upon date of signature.

    Dated: February 22, 2013.
Kathleen Sebelius,
Secretary.
