Sec. 2.6  Redelegation of authority.

    (a) It is FEMA's policy that the authorities delegated by this 
chapter should, whenever appropriate, be redelegated to the manager or 
official who has immediate responsibility for the action. Authority 
delegated by this chapter, unless otherwise specifically provided, may 
be redelegated in whole or in part provided any such redelegation is in 
writing and approved by the officer to whom the authority is initially 
delegated. This restriction does not apply to a temporary redelegation 
of authority to a principal deputy or first assistant to be exercised 
during the absence of the delegating official.
    (b) The authority to issue regulations having general applicability 
and future effect designed to implement, interpret or prescribe law or 
policy, and which are to be published in the Federal Register, may be 
delegated or redelegated only to positions for which it is required that 
the incumbent be confirmed by the United States Senate. This does not 
prohibit an acting official from issuing regulations. This paragraph 
does not apply to rules issued under parts 64, 65, 67, or 70 of this 
title.
