it pertains to the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board, has been 

delegated to the Assistant Secretary for Employment Standards. The 

Assistant Secretary, in turn, has delegated the authority and

by law, the Director, OWCP and his or her designees have the exclusive 

authority to administer, interpret and enforce the provisions of the 

Act.
