SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In November of 1993, the Secretary announced 
the reorganization of HUD's field structure to improve performance and 
provide HUD's customers--members of the public and program 
beneficiaries--more efficient service and less bureaucracy by 
empowering HUD's employees to more effectively serve these customers. 
As part of the ongoing process, on December 6, 1994, at 59 FR 62739, 
the Department published a Notice of Revocation and Redelegation of 
Authority pertaining to authority in the field over Office of Housing 
programs, which was amended by the Revocation and Redelegation of 
Authority published on June 26, 1996 at 61 FR 33130 and was further 
amended by the Redelegation of Authority published on February 3, 1997 
at 62 FR 5029.
    HUD continues to streamline its Housing operations by consolidating 
functions. It is essential that the line of authority to the field 
officials operating Housing programs and functions be maintained. 
Therefore the authority held by the Director of Housing in Category AA 
offices is being redelegated to the Directors of the Single Family 
Housing Division and the Multifamily Housing Division, when the 
position of Director of Housing is vacant.
    Accordingly, the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing 
Commissioner redelegates authority as follows:

Section A. Authority Redelegated

    This amendment redelegates authority previously delegated to Office 
of Housing Directors in Category AA (Double A) offices to the Director 
of the Single Family Housing Division and the Director of the 
Multifamily Housing Division, when the position of the Office of 
Housing Director is vacant.

    Authority: Sec. 7(d) of the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)).

    Dated: August 12, 1997.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
