Office of the Secretary

Office of the Assistant Secretary for

Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity

[Docket No. D–95–1083; FR–3804–D–01]

Delegation and Redelegation of

Authority

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary; Office

of the Assistant Secretary for Fair

Housing and Equal Opportunity

(FHEO), HUD.

ACTION: Notice of delegation and

redelegation of authority regarding the

civil rights related program

requirements (CRRPR’s) of HUD

programs.

SUMMARY: In the delegation portion of

this notice, the Secretary of Housing and

Urban Development is delegating to the

Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and

Equal Opportunity the power and

authority to make decisions regarding

the civil rights related requirements of

HUD programs. In the redelegation

section of this notice, the Assistant

Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal

Opportunity redelegates this authority

to the Director, Program Operations and

Compliance Center, for each field office.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Laurence D. Pearl, Director, Office of

Program Standards and Evaluation,

telephone (0) 708–088, Department of

Housing and Urban Development, 451

7th Street, SW, Washington, DC 0410.

[This is not a toll-free number.] A

telecommunications device for hearing

impaired persons (TDD) is available at

1–800–543–894.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to the

importance the Department places upon

civil rights enforcement, the Department

is making structural changes to help

ensure that recipients under HUD

programs comply with all civil rights

related program requirements (also

referred to as ‘‘CRRPRs’’). This

restructuring fits in with the overall

HUD field reorganization intended to

improve HUD’s performance and

provide HUD’s customers—members of

the public and program beneficiaries—

more efficient service and less

bureaucracy. The changes which shall

be implemented pertain to how the

Department, and the Office of Fair

Housing and Equal Opportunity

(FHEO), ensure that each party receiving

federal financial assistance or other

benefit, as a result of participation in a

HUD program, complies with all civil

rights related program requirements

(CRRPRs) of the particular program. In

order to receive benefits, it is essential

that participants in HUD programs

comply with the relevant CRRPRs.

It is easy to identify the civil rights

related program requirements for a

particular program, but more difficult to

provide a general definition to

encompass all CRRPRs. Depending

upon the particular program, there are

different sources which identify the

CRRPRs. For example, civil rights

related program requirements may be

written into the statute or regulations

governing the specific program at issue.
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 51 / Thursday, March 16, 1995 / Notices 14295

CRRPRs may also be found within such

sources as general civil rights statutes,

HUD Notices of Funding Availability

(NOFAs), and Mortgage Letters. The

subjects covered under CRRPRs include

but are not limited to such topics as

affirmative fair housing marketing, site

and neighborhood standards, assurances

or certifications of compliance with

civil rights statutes, and monitoring

recipient performance for compliance

with civil rights requirements.

In the past, the Office of Fair Housing

and Equal Opportunity, including the

FHEO field staff, played a largely

advisory role in regard to the impact of

CRRPRs. In reviewing a HUD program

application, the FHEO field staff would

simply advise the HUD program staff in

the field whether an applicant was in

compliance with the CRRPRs. In the

event of disagreement between the

FHEO staff and program staff regarding

the applicant’s compliance with

CRRPRs, the Regional Administrator or

Area Manager for the particular office

would make the final decision to resolve

the issue.

Because the field reorganization has

eliminated the positions of Regional

Administrator and Area Manager, there

is no one in the field offices to resolve

such disagreements. Consequently,

there is concern that compliance with

CRRPRs will not be adequately

considered. However, the Secretary has

concluded that it is most important that

HUD program funds and other benefits

are given to applicants who comply

with civil rights related program

requirements of HUD programs. This

can be accomplished by giving

additional specific authority to the

Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and

Equal Opportunity, at Headquarters, and

to each Director, Program Operations

and Compliance Center, in the field, in

determining the status of applicants for

or recipients of federal financial

assistance or other benefits with respect

to civil rights related program

requirements. Clearly, the function of

the Office of FHEO is to ensure

compliance with civil rights

requirements. This responsibility is

accomplished not only by having the

Office of FHEO administer and enforce

civil rights statutes such as the Fair

Housing Act, but also by having the

Office of FHEO participate in decision

making regarding compliance with the

civil rights component of each HUD

program.

This change in no way relieves HUD

program staff of their obligation to be

attentive to civil rights concerns in the

administration of HUD programs, as

reflected in section D of this delegation.

It is designed solely to assure that

serious FHEO issues are thoroughly

considered before programmatic

decisions are made.

This change also does not affect the

rating process for competitive grant

applications. The rating process often

includes items of FHEO concern, such

as commitments under section 3 of the

Housing and Urban Development Act of

1968, or past experience in

administering housing with inclusive

racial and ethnic patterns. FHEO staff

usually rate those criteria and provide

the ratings to field program staff.

Nothing in this delegation would allow

FHEO to challenge the award of

competitive assistance based on the

program office’s assessment of nonFHEO factors.

Accordingly, the Secretary delegates,

and the Assistant Secretary for FHEO

redelegates, authority as follows:

Section A. Authority Delegated

The Secretary of Housing and Urban

Development delegates to the Assistant

Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal

Opportunity, the power and authority to

determine whether an applicant for, or

participant in, a HUD program is

complying with the civil rights related

program requirements (CRRPRs).

CRRPRs are requirements of HUD

programs relating to civil rights

contained in laws and regulations

pertaining to the particular program,

general civil rights statutes, Notices of

Funding Availability (NOFA’s),

Mortgagee Letters or by other agreement

between the Assistant Secretary for Fair

Housing and Equal Opportunity and the

Assistant Secretary who has been

delegated authority over the particular

program.

Section B. Authority Redelegated

The Assistant Secretary for Fair

Housing and Equal Opportunity retains

the authority delegated from the

Secretary of Housing and Urban

Development, pursuant to Section A.,

above, and redelegates it to each

Director, Program Operations and

Compliance Center, for the field office

over which he or she has responsibility.

Section C. No Authority To Redelegate

The authority granted pursuant to

Section B., above, may not be further

redelegated pursuant to this delegation

and redelegation.

Section D. Authority Excepted From

Redelegation

In the event that the Director, Program

Operations and Compliance Center, and

the Field office program official who has

been redelegated authority to make

funding decisions are not able to agree

on the status of an applicant or

participant with respect to a CRRPR, the

matter shall be forwarded to

Headquarters and the decision shall be

made jointly by the Assistant Secretary

for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity

and the Assistant Secretary who has

been delegated authority over the

particular program. In the event the two

Assistant Secretaries are unable to agree,

the matter shall be resolved by the

Secretary.

Authority: Sec. 7(d), Department of

Housing and Urban Development Act [42

U.S.C. 3535(d)].
