                 CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
 
PART 222_DELEGATIONS OF AUTHORITY--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  222.3  Other delegation.

    (a) Documentation. All delegations of authority must be officially 
documented.
    (b) Position title. Delegations of authority must ordinarily be made 
by position title rather than by name of the individual involved. An 
officer or executive acting for a principal has the principal's full 
authority.
    (c) Level. When authority is delegated to an officer, the officers 
above that officer shall have the same authority. Delegated authority 
does not extend to aides unless an aide is acting for the supervisor 
(see paragraph (b) of this section) or is specifically authorized by the 
superior to exercise such authority.
    (d) Agreement with law. A delegation must agree with the law and 
regulations under which it is made and contain such specific limiting 
conditions as may be appropriate.
    (e) Further delegation. Authority may be further delegated unless 
prohibited by law, a regulation that expressly prohibits further 
delegation, or terms of the delegation.
