**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
In November 1993, HUD implemented a reorganization of its field structure that, among other things, changed the designation of HUD's ten Regional Offices from designation by Roman numeral to designation by geographic area, such as New England, New York/New Jersey, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, etc.
This notice published in today's *Federal Register* advises the public that HUD is returning to Roman numeral designation for its ten Regional Offices. This notice also advises that each HUD “Area Office” that is the assigned location for a Regional Director will be renamed “Regional Office.” Any office that is the assigned location of a Field Office Director, and also referred to as an Area Office, will now be referred to as a Field Office. HUD's Community Service Centers will also be referred to as Field Offices. There will no longer be offices referred to as Area Offices or Community Service Centers. HUD has not made changes to the functions or responsibilities of the offices that are the subject of this notice.
The appendix that accompanies this notice reflects the new titles for HUD's Regional Offices.
Dated: May 9, 2005.

General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Administration.
