SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Housing legislation and programs are
implemented and administered by the
Office of Housing. However, in some
instances, the nature of a statute or
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4703
program, or component thereof, requires
another HUD office to conduct the
program or participate in its
administration. On October 12, 2006 (71
FR 60168), the Assistant Secretary for
Housing—Federal Housing
Commissioner (Assistant Secretary for
Housing) redelegated certain authority
to the Office of Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity (FHEO) and the Office of
the General Counsel (General Counsel)
and revoked all prior redelegations from
the Assistant Secretary for Housing to
these HUD offices.
The October 12, 2006, publication
also reiterated and updated the
authority previously redelegated to the
General Counsel. (That previous notice
of redelegation of authority was
published on March 12, 2004 (69 FR
11880).
Today’s notice reaffirms the authority
previously redelegated by the Assistant
Secretary for Housing to the General
Counsel. Please note that the
redelegation of authority to the General
Counsel does not affect the authority of
the Mortgagee Review Board, described
in 24 CFR 30.35, or of the Assistant
Secretary for Housing to initiate civil
money penalty actions.
In addition, today’s notice revokes
authority previously redelegated by the
Assistant Secretary for Housing to the
Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and
Equal Opportunity. Previously, certain
programmatic regulation authorities
exercised by the Secretary of HUD over
the Government Sponsored Enterprises
(GSEs) pursuant to the Federal Housing
Enterprises Financial Safety and
Soundness Act of 1992 (FHEFSSA), 12
U.S.C 4501 et seq., had been delegated
to the Assistant 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 Equal Opportunity.
By separate notice HUD will publish a
