Supplementary Information

The uniform regulation for the procurement of supplies and services by Federal departments and agencies, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), was promulgated on September 19, 1983 (48 FR 42102). The FAR is codified in title 48, chapter 1, of the Code of Federal Regulations. HUD promulgated its regulation to implement the FAR on March 1, 1984 (49 FR 7696). The HUDAR (title 48, chapter 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations) is prescribed by the Chief Procurement Officer under section 7(d) of the Department of HUD Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(d)); section 205(c) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 486(c)); the Secretary's delegation effective October 6, 1998 (63 FR 54723); and the general authorization in FAR 1.301. In accordance with HUDAR 2406.501, designation of HUD's Competition Advocate shall be made through a notice published in the Federal Register. Recently, HUD underwent a Departmental reorganization that included the relocation of all of its procurement activity from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration to the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer. Therefore, the purpose of this notice is to redesignate the Departmental Competition Advocate to a position within the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer. Accordingly, the Chief Procurement Officer designates the Senior Advisor to the Chief Procurement Officer as the HUD Competition Advocate.

Dated: July 16, 1999. V. Stephen Carberry, Chief Procurement Officer. [FR Doc. 99-21076 Filed 8-20-99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4210-01-P
