Sec. 27.48  Delegated functions.

    The Administrator delegates authority to the Environmental Appeals 
Board to issue final decisions in appeals filed under this part. An 
appeal directed to the Administrator, rather than the Environmental 
Appeals Board, will not be considered. This delegation of authority to 
the Environmental Appeals Board does not preclude the Environmental 
Appeals Board from referring an appeal or motion filed under this part 
to the Administrator for decision when the Environmental Appeals Board, 
in its descretion, deems it appropriate to do so. When an appeal or 
motion is referred to the Administrator, all parties shall be so 
notified and the rules in this part referring to the Environmental 
Appeals Board shall be interpreted as referring to the Administrator. If 
a case or motion is referred to the Administrator by the Environmental 
Appeals Board, the Administrator may consult with any EPA employee 
concerning the matter, provided such consultation does not violate the 
ex parte contacts restrictions set forth in Sec. Sec. 27.14 and 27.15 
of this part.
