SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this redelegation is to

in accordance with, and subject to, the Redelegation of Authority
issued by the Assistant Secretary for CPD on June 28, 1996 and

By this Redelegation of Authority, each State and Area Coordinator

Director and the State or Area Coordinator must jointly concur in all
requests for waivers, whether the request is granted or denied. If the
State or Area Coordinator and the CPD Program Director do not agree,
the matter will be referred to the Secretary's Representative. If the
Secretary's Representative and the Program Director do not agree, the
matter will be referred to the Assistant Secretary for CPD for
resolution.
