Part A of the HHS Organization
Manual Office of the Secretary,
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is being amended at
Chapter AP, ‘‘Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA),’’ as
last amended at 70 FR 61621–22, dated
Oct. 25, 2005. Over the past several
years, ASPA has been refining its
organizational structure to improve its
strategic and operational
communication capacities to more
effectively support the mission and
strategic priorities of the Department. A
substantive element of this change has
been a shift from a purely operational
structure focusing on defined services to
one that builds a whole-of-ASPA
approach that draws on all
communication skills across each of
three key portfolios—health care, public
health, and human services. The
proposed organizational realignments
will, therefore, update and revise
ASPA’s structure to reflect this more
functional, strategic operational
approach. The changes are described
below:
I. Under Part A, Chapter AP, Section
AP.00 Mission, delete in its entirety and
replace with the following:
AP.00 Mission: The ASPA serves as
the Secretary’s principal counsel on
public affairs, leading efforts across the
Department to promote transparency,
accountability and access to critical
public health and human services
information to the American people.

emergency incident communications
strategies and activities for the
Department. The ASPA reports directly
to the HHS Secretary.
II. Under Part A, Chapter AP, Section

entirety and replace with the following:
