At this time, regulatory authority over the GSEs has been vested in the Federal Housing Finance Agency pursuant to the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–289, approved July 30, 2008) except for certain fair housing requirements which fall wholly within the purview of the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.

As a result, previous redelegations to the OAHP Deputy Assistant Secretary (and the OAHP Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary) now run to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multifamily Housing Programs and the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Affordable Housing Programs. Second, the Assistant Secretary is now redelegating authority to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multifamily Housing Programs and the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Affordable Housing Programs authority to perform all the functions necessary to implement Title XII of Division A of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), (Pub. L. 111–5, approved February 17, 2009). ARRA created a program for making energy improvements in multifamily housing known as the Green Retrofit Program for Multifamily Housing.

Secretary for Housing. Certain of these oversight requirements 
involving affordable housing goals were implemented by the Office of 
Housing; certain other oversight requirements involving fair housing 
performance by the GSEs were implemented by the Office of Fair Housing 
and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) pursuant to a redelegation to that office 
by the Assistant Secretary for Housing. At this time, regulatory 
authority over the GSEs has been vested in the Federal Housing Finance 
Agency pursuant to the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Pub. 
L. 110-289, approved July 30, 2008) except for certain fair housing 
requirements which fall wholly within the purview of the Office of Fair 
Housing and Equal Opportunity. Therefore, this notice revokes the 
previous October 2006 redelegation of authority from the Assistant 
Secretary for Housing to the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and
