§ 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.
