DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4837-D-36]


Amendment of Redelegation of Authority Under the Privacy Act of 
1974

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of amendment of redelegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: This notice amends a redelegation of authority under the 
Privacy Act from HUD's General Counsel to certain Associate General 
Counsels. The amendment reflects a change in the organizational 
structure of the Office of General Counsel that created a new position.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 12, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dane Narode, Assistant General Counsel 
for Administrative Proceedings, Office of the General Counsel, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Room B-133, CEP, Washington, DC 20410-0500, telephone (202) 708-2350. 
(This is not a toll-free number.) For those needing assistance, this 
number may be accessed through TTY by calling the toll-free Federal 
Information Relay Service number at 1-800-877-8339.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 11, 1996 (61 FR 53382), the 
Department published a notice delegating and redelegating certain 
authority under the Privacy Act, as specified in the redelegation of 
authority, to the General Counsel and to certain Associate General 
Counsels. In order to assist in enforcement activities carried out by 
the Office of General Counsel on behalf of the Department, the 
delegation provides the General Counsel with the authority under the 
Privacy Act of 1974 to make written requests, for purposes of law 
enforcement activities, to other agencies for the transfer of records 
or copies of records maintained by such other agencies, as the General 
Counsel deems necessary. The General Counsel redelegated this authority 
to various Associate General Counsels in the Department. This 
delegation and redelegation are necessary to assist in enforcement 
activities carried out by the Office of General Counsel on behalf of 
the Department. This amendment makes the redelegation consistent with a 
reorganization within the Office of General Counsel. The redelegation 
of authority is being amended to replace the Associate General Counsel 
for Litigation and Fair Housing Enforcement with the Associate General 
Counsel for Litigation and the Associate General Counsel for Fair 
Housing.
    Accordingly, the redelegation of authority published on October 11, 
1996 (61 FR 53382) is amended as follows:

Section B. Amendment of Redelegation of Authority

    Section B of the delegation and redelegation of authority published 
on October 11, 1996 (61 FR 53382) is amended to read as follows:
    The General Counsel of the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development hereby redelegates all of the power and authority delegated 
in Section A., above, to the following Associate General Counsels:
    The Associate General Counsel for Program Enforcement;
    The Associate General Counsel for Finance and Regulatory 
Enforcement;
    The Associate General Counsel for Litigation; and
    The Associate General Counsel for Fair Housing.

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

    Dated: June 12, 2003.
Richard A. Hauser,
General Counsel.
