DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Delegation of Authority
Notice is hereby given that the Director, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), has delegated to the Chief Operating
Officer, CDC, without the authority to redelegate, the authority vested
in the Secretary of HHS by section 212(1) of the Department of Defense
and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act,
2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (FY 19 HHS Appropriations
Act) Public Law 115-245, division B, title II, or substantially similar
authorities vested in the Secretary in the future by Congress, in order
to carry out international health activities.
Section 212(1) of the FY19 HHS Appropriations Act permits the
Secretary of HHS to exercise authority equivalent to that available to
the Secretary of State under 22 U.S.C 2669(c) to award personal
services contracts for work performed in foreign countries. The
authority delegated herein includes the authority to determine the
necessity of negotiating, executing, and performing such contracts
without regard to statutory provisions as related to the negotiation,
making, and performance of contracts and performance of work in the
United States.
The authority under section 212(1) is immediately revoked in the
event that any subsequent fiscal year HHS appropriations act does not
contain the provision currently in section 212(1) or substantially
similar authority.
The Chief Operating Officer, CDC, shall consult with the Secretary
of State and relevant Chief of Mission to ensure that this authority is
exercised in a manner consistent with section 207 of the Foreign
Service Act of 1980 and other applicable statutes administered by the
Department of State.
This delegation supersedes the delegation of similar name, approved
by the Director, CDC, on March 17, 2020.
This delegation became effective on January 31, 2022. The Director,
CDC, affirms and ratifies any actions taken that involve the exercise
of the authority delegated herein prior to the effective date of this
delegation.

Chief of Staff, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
