Sec.  140.14  Delegation of authority to the Secretary of the Commission.

    After the Commission has formally reached a decision or taken other 
action on a matter, has agreed upon the language of the document which 
embodies the Commission decision or other action, including, but not 
limited to, a rule, regulation or order, and has directed that the 
document be issued, the Secretary of the Commission (or a person 
designated in writing by the Secretary) shall sign the document on 
behalf of the Commission. Signature by the Secretary shall be a 
ministerial function and shall not be discretionary. The delegation to 
the Secretary of the authority to sign documents on the Commission's 
behalf shall not affect any other delegation which the Commission has 
made, or may make, which authorizes any other officer or employee of the 
Commission to take action and to sign documents on the Commission's 
behalf. In addition, the Commission reserves the authority to provide 
for signature on its behalf by the Chairman or any other member of the 
Commission in particular circumstances.
