## Sec. 202.1 organization **[**203**]** The Service shall consist of
(1)the Office of the Surgeon General,
(2)the National Institutes of Health,
(3)the Bureau of Medical Services, and
(4)the Bureau of State Services, and the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research.2 The Secretary is authorized and directed to assign to the Office of the Secretary, to the National Institutes of Health, to the Bureau of Medical Services, and to the Bureau of State Services, respectively, the several functions of the Service, and to establish within them such divisions, sections and other units as he may find necessary; and from time to time, abolish, transfer, and consolidate divisions, sections, and other units and assign their functions and personnel in such manner as he may find necessary for efficient operation of the Service. No division shall be established, abolished, or transferred, and no divisions shall be consolidated, except with the approval of the Secretary. The National Institutes of Health shall be administered as a part of the field service. The Secretary may delegate to any officer or employee of the Service such of his powers and duties under this Act, except the making of regulations, as he may deem necessary or expedient. 1The organizational units specified in this section, other than the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, were all abolished as *statutory *entities by Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1966. Although the Reorganization Plan abolished the National Institutes of Health as an agency, it did not abolish the individual research institutes. Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1966 also transferred the authorities of the Surgeon General over the Public Health Service to the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare (subsequently renamed the Secretary of Health and Human Services). In 1985, Public Law 99–158 added title IV of this Act, which provides that the National Institutes of Health is an agency of the Public Health Service. See section 401(a). Other laws have established additional agencies within the Service. Section 501(a) of this Act provides that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is an agency of the Service. Section 901(a) establishes the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within the Service (formerly designated as the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research). Although not established in this Act, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry are agencies of the Service. The Food and Drug Administration is also an agency of the Service. 2So in law. See section 2008(g)(2) of Public Law 103–43 (107 Stat. 212). The term “**the Agency**” probably should be preceded by “(5)”, and the “and” before “(4)” probably should be struck. Further, Public Law 106–129 redesignated the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (see 113 Stat. 1653).
