Directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to continue the administration of grants through the Administration for Native Americans (the Administration). Requires the Commission of such Administration to delegate all functions within the Administration.

Restricts the delegation and redelegation of functions by the Secretary to personnel within the Department.
