DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

National Institutes of Health


Statement of Delegation of Authority

    Notice is hereby given that I have delegated to the Director,
National Institutes of Health (NIH), the authorities under Public Law
106-551 (Chimpanzee Health Improvement, Maintenance, and Protection
Act), section 2, as amended, to establish and to operate a sanctuary
system for surplus chimpanzees that have been used, or were bred or
purchased for use, in research conducted or supported by agencies of
the Federal Government. NIH shall take the lead in coordinating all
efforts on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services
concerning a sanctuary system for surplus chimpanzees from both Federal
and non-Federal sources.
    This delegation shall be exercised under the Department's
delegation of authority and policy on regulation, and it excludes the
authority to submit reports to Congress.
    These authorities may be redelegated and further redelegation is
authorized. Redelegations must be in writing and exercised in
accordance with any conditions or restrictions imposed by law or
regulation. All previous delegations of authority inconsistent with the
provisions of this delegation are superseded.
    This delegation is effective upon date of signature. In addition, I
ratified and affirmed any actions take by the Director, NIH, or other
NIH officials, which involved the exercise of authorities delegated
herein prior to the effective date of this delegation.

    Dated: April 5, 2001.
Tommy G. Thompson,
Secretary.
