[Docket No. FR–4097–D–01]

Office of the Assistant Secretary for

Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner; Revocation and

Redelegation of Authority; Amendment

to Field Reorganization

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner, HUD.

ACTION: Amendment to field

reorganization redelegation of authority.

SUMMARY: This notice amends the

redelegation portion of the field

reorganization Revocation and

Redelegation of Authority for the Office

of Housing, published in the Federal

Register on December 6, 1994, at 59 FR

62739.

This amendment revokes authority

over both single family and multifamily

housing matters previously redelegated

to the Director, Single Family Housing

Division, and to the Director,

Multifamily Housing Division,

respectively, in the Anchorage, AK;

Charleston, WV; Grand Rapids, MI;

Manchester, NH; and Milwaukee WI

field offices; it then redelegates the

authority to the Director, Housing

Division, in each of the affected offices.

Prior to this amendment, the field

reorganization document redelegated

authority to both Directors of Single

Family Housing and Directors of

Multifamily Housing, in A and B field

offices. With this amendment, in certain

A and B field offices, authority is still

delegated to both the Director, Single

Family Housing Division, and Director,

Multifamily Housing Division.

However, in other A and B field offices,

authority is now redelegated to the

Director, Housing Division, who

handles both single family and

multifamily housing matters.

This amendment also revokes

authority over single family housing

matters previously redelegated to the

Director of the Single Family Housing

Division in the Dallas, Texas field office;

it then redelegates this authority to the

Office of Housing Director in the Fort

Worth, Texas field office. As a result of

this portion of the amendment, field

office authority regarding single family

housing matters is transferred from the

Director of the Single Family Housing

Division in the Dallas, Texas field office

to the Director of Housing in the Fort

Worth, Texas field office. Employees of

the Dallas office will continue to

perform single family housing functions

but field office decisionmaking

authority will rest in the Fort Worth

office.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 17, 1996.

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 that

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. This document makes certain

organizational changes to the December

6, 1994 redelegation, regarding to whom

authority is delegated.

As the Department strives to provide

increasingly efficient service, the ability

to do more with less is of crucial

importance. Through this Amendment

to the field reorganization Revocation

and Redelegation of Authority, the

Department seeks to shift certain powers

and authorities in order to best utilize

its finite resources to the benefit of the

customer.

Accordingly, the Assistant Secretary

for Housing—Federal Housing

Commissioner amends the Revocation

and Redelegation of Authority at 59 FR
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 26, 1996 / Notices 33131

Three economically minable coal

Seams are found in this tract. Seams are

all greater than 6 feet in thickness. This

tract contains an estimated 20 to 30

million tons of recoverable high-volatile

B bituminous coal. The range of coal

quality in the seams on an as received

basis is as follows: 12,685–12,805 BTU/

lb., 3.23–4.23 percent moisture, .34-.44

percent sulfur, 5,36- 6.9 percent ash,

comment on and discussion of the

potential effects of mining and proposed

lease. Not less than 30 days prior to the

Secretary shall solicit public comments

on fair market value appraisal and

maximum economic recovery and on

factors that may affect these two

determinations. Proprietary data marked

as confidential may be submitted to the

Bureau of Land Management in

response to this solicitation of public

comments. Data so marked shall be

treated in accordance with the laws and

regulations governing the

confidentiality of such information. A

copy of the comments submitted by the

public on fair market value and

maximum economic recovery, except

those portions identified as proprietary

by the author and meeting exemptions

stated in the Freedom of Information

Act, will be available for public

inspection at the Bureau of Land

be limited to, the following information:

1. The quality and quantity of the coal

resource.

2. The mining method or methods

which would achieve maximum

economic recovery of the coal,

including specifications of seams to be

mined and the most desirable timing

and rate of production.

3. The quantity of coal.

4. If this tract is likely to be mined as

part of an existing mine and therefore be

evaluated on a realistic incremental

basis, in relation to the existing mine to

which it has the greatest value.

5. If this tract should be evaluated as

part of a potential larger mining unit

and evaluated as a portion of a new

potential mine (i.e., a tract which does

not in itself form a logical mining unit).

6. The configuration of any larger

mining unit of which the tract may be

a part.

7. Restrictions to mining which may

affect coal recovery.

8. The price that the mined coal

would bring when sold.

9. Costs, including mining and

reclamation, of producing the coal and

the time of production.

10. The percentage rate at which

anticipated income streams should be

discounted, either in the absence of

inflation or with inflation, in which case

the anticipated rate of inflation should

be given.
