SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For HUD, a commitment to equal opportunity 
is fundamental, not only relative to the public's expectations of fair 
housing without discrimination, but also to HUD's employment of a 
workforce that reflects the communities it serves. HUD remains 
committed to building a leading equal employment opportunity (EEO) 
program. Section 1614.102 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations 
requires that the agency's EEO program be organized and structured to 
maintain a workplace that is free from discrimination in any of the 
agency's policies, procedures, or practices. It also provides that the 
EEO program supports the agency's strategic mission and that the ODEEO 
Director be under the direct supervision of the agency head. The ODEEO 
Director, Deputy Director, and other ODEEO professional staff that are 
responsible for EEO programs must have regular and effective means of 
informing the agency head and senior management officials of the status 
of EEO programs and must be involved in, and consulted on, management/
personnel actions.

Section A. Authority Delegated

    The Secretary hereby delegates to the Director and Deputy Director 
of ODEEO concurrent authority and responsibility to promulgate and 
implement all policies, procedures, and practices to operate a model 
EEO program. The Secretary may revoke the authority authorized herein, 
in whole or part, at any time.

Section B. Authority Excepted

    The authority delegated in this document does not include the 
authority to sue or be sued or to issue or waive regulations.

Section C. Authority To Redelegate

    The authority delegated in this document may be redelegated.

Section D. Authority Superseded

    This Delegation of Authority supersedes all prior delegations of 
authority for ODEEO including the delegation of authority published in 
the Federal Register on June 22, 2011 (76 FR 36567).
    Authority: Section 7(d) of the United States Department of Housing 
and Urban Development Act, 42 U.S.C. 3535(d).
