Statement of Organization, Functions, and Delegations of Authority

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is issuing this notice to revise its Statement of Organization, Functions, and Delegations of Authority for the Office of the Secretary (OS). This reorganization removes the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) from the organizational description for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration (ASA), and establishes the OCIO as a stand-alone organization that reports directly to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary. These changes supersede the OCIO-related organizational language contained in the notice published at 74 FR 57747 (November 9, 2009) (document number E9-26963) and any subsequent amendments, as well as corresponding OCIO references in the Assistant Secretary for Administration Federal Register notice published at 90 FR 3655 (January 10, 2025) (document number 2025-00382).
