Redelegation of Authority for Indian Programs

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing 
(PIH), HUD.

ACTION: Notice of redelegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, the Assistant Secretary for PIH redelegates 
the authority for the Emergency Shelter Grants Program, for Indian 
Tribes and Alaska Natives, pursuant to Subtitle B of Part IV of the 
Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C 11371 
et seq.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 15, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Elaine Dudley, Deputy Director for Headquarters Operations, Office of 
Native American Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, B-133, 451 7th Street, SW, 
telephone (202) 755-0066 or 755-0850 (voice/TDD). (These are not toll-
free numbers.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By statute, Indian tribes receive a set 
aside of 1% of funds appropriated for the ESG Program, for Indian and 
Alaskan Natives, under Subtitle B of Title IV of the Stewart B. 
McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 11371 et seq. 
Originally, this set aside of ESG funds for Indian tribes was 
administered by CPD field office staff working within Indian program 
offices located in six regional or field offices. CPD had complete 
responsibility for the set aside within its ESG program.
    Pursuant to Section 902 of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1992, 42 U.S.C. 3533, the Office of Native American Programs 
(ONAP) was created within the Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) 
in Headquarters. According to the statute, the office is to administer 
and coordinate all programs of the Department relating to Indian and 
Alaska Native housing and community development. In addition, ONAP is 
to direct, coordinate and assist in managing HUD field offices that 
administer Indian and Alaska Native programs.
    Consistent with the statute, the Secretary has elsewhere in today's 
Federal Register transferred to the Assistance Secretary for PIH, in 
the case of Indian Tribes and Alaska Natives only, the authority for 
the Emergency Shelter Grants Program under Subtitle B of Part IV of the 
Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 
11371 et seq. Also in accordance with Section 902, this redelegation of 
authority redelegates this authority pertaining to Indian Tribes and 
Alaska Natives to Officials in the Office of Native American Programs 
within PIH.
    Accordingly, the Assistant Secretary for PIH redelegates authority 
as follows:

Section A. Authority Delegated

    The Assistant Secretary for PIH redelegates individually to the 
Director, Office of Native American Programs, to the Deputy Director 
for Headquarters Operations, Office of Native American Programs, and to 
the Deputy Director for Field Operations, Office of Native American 
Programs, all power and authority with respect to the Emergency Shelter 
Grants Program, for Indian Tribes and Alaska Natives, pursuant to 
Subtitle B of Title IV of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance 
Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 11371 et seq., except as provided in Section 
B of this delegation of authority.

Section B. Authority Excepted

    The authority redelegated under Section A does not include the 
power to sue and be sued.

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

    Dated: March 15, 1995.
