AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The authority to administer the Ounce of Prevention Grant
Program was delegated from the Ounce of Prevention Council to the
Secretary via Inter-Agency Agreement effective October 3, 1995. The
Secretary has redelegated the authority to administer the program to
the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, via a
redelegation published elsewhere in today's Federal Register. The
Assistant Secretary for CPD is further redelegating the authority to
administer the Ounce of Prevention Program to the Director of the
Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community Task Force, which is a division

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 24, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Roy Priest, Director, Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community Task Force,
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW., Room
7136, Washington, DC 20410, (202) 708-2290. This is not a toll-free
number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Ounce of Prevention Council was
established by section 30101(a) of title III, subtitle A of the Violent
Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Public Law 103-322, 42
U.S.C. 13741. Section 30102 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 13742, authorizes the
Ounce of Prevention Grant Program. Under this program, the Council may
make grants to assist youth crime and violence prevention programs. Up
to $1,500,000 was appropriated for this purpose in fiscal year 1995,
pursuant to section 30104 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 13744.
In accordance with section 30101(a)(1)(A) of the Act, 42 U.S.C.
13741, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (``Secretary'')
is a member of the Council. Section 30101(a)(3) of the Act, 42 U.S.C.
13741, authorizes the Council to delegate any of its functions or
powers to a member or members of the Council. By Inter-Agency Agreement
effective October 3, 1995, the Council has delegated to the Secretary
its authority to make final decisions regarding the selection of
grantees, the awarding of grants, and the monitoring of grants,
pursuant to section 30102 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 13742. HUD will award
the grants competitively in Federally-designated Empowerment Zone and
Enterprise Community areas, including Supplemental Empowerment Zones,
to support local, community-based efforts to coordinate and, to the
extent possible, integrate youth crime and violence prevention programs
or services.
Consistent with the Inter-Agency Agreement delegating to the
Secretary the Council's authority to make grants pursuant to section
30102 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 13742, the Secretary has elsewhere in
today's Federal Register redelegated to the Assistant Secretary for CPD
the authority to administer the Ounce of Prevention Program. That
redelegation authorizes the Assistant Secretary to further redelegate
such authority.
