DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Office of the Secretary


Delegation of Authorities

    Notice is hereby given that I have delegated to the Deputy 
Secretary within the Office of the Secretary (OS)/Immediate Office of 
the Secretary (IOS)/Office of the Deputy Secretary the authority vested 
in me as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) pursuant to 
section 41 U.S.C. 4712(c)(1), to issue an order denying relief as a 
final agency action for cases in which the Office of the Inspector 
General (OIG)/Office of Investigations has found allegations of 
whistleblower retaliation to be unsubstantiated. This delegation 
supersedes any and all delegations of authority within IOS or in any 
other U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Operating Division 
or Staff Division relating to denying relief as a final agency action 
for unsubstantiated whistleblower complaints as determined by OIG 
(pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 4712(c)(1)). I hereby affirm and ratify any 
actions taken by the Deputy Secretary of HHS, or other officials, which 
involve the exercise of these authorities prior to the effective date 
of this delegation.
    This delegation of authority is effective immediately.
    This delegation of authority may be re-delegated.
    This delegation of authority does not impact any other delegations 
of authority within any other Department of Health and Human Services 
Operating Division or Staff Division.

Xavier Becerra,
Secretary.
