Reorganization of the Enforcement Bureau and Establishment of the Office of Homeland Security

The Commission is revising its rules to promote more efficient and effective organizational structure and to promote homeland security. Specifically, the Commission is revising its rules to reflect the creation of the Office of Homeland Security within the Enforcement Bureau, describe the Office's functions and delegated authority, and make other conforming changes. The Commission is also revising its rules to clarify how an Emergency Relocation Board will operate during times of emergency under the Commission's Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) and setting out the line of succession to chair the Board when no Commissioner is available to serve on the Board.
