     Subpart A_Organization, Functions, and Delegations of Authority

 

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.
