Th is provides for implementation of clear, manageable, and efficient procedures for re-delegating authorities, facilitates management control over delegations of authority, and assures that authority is delegated to the lowest practical level. This M anual Section is not intended to serve as a substitute for the other BLM M anual Sections but can be used to supplement, if necessary, other M anual Sections and the Code of Federal Reg ulations. W hile this M anual Section is intended to serve as an authoritative source for delegations in the BLM , the absence of authorities in it does not preclude the exercise of those authorities provided they have appropriate legal basis. In the absence of other specific delegations in the form of BLM M anuals, regulations, F ederal Re g iste r publications or written delegations, this M anual Section and attached Index shall constitute formal delegation of the listed authorities. 1.3 Authority.

Most BLM authorities are derived from the Secretary, through the Assistant Secretary, to the Director. Am BLM authorities, for purposes of redelegation within the BLM, are generally derived from the Director. 1. For the purposes of BLM M anual Section 1203, all authorities held by a particular line manager position are also held by positions organizationally titled "Associate" attached to that particular position (for example, Associate State Directors share all authorities held by S tate Directors). 2. In most cases, authorities held by the Director may be exercised by W ashington Office Assistant Director(s), who are line officials, within their areas of functional jurisdiction. Exceptions to this general rule are individually noted in the Index of this M anual Secti on. B. P ositions Holding Authority. Any official to whom authority is delegated in BLM M anual Section 1203, or to whom authority has been delegated by other appropriate means, may, in writing, re-delegate or authorize redelegation of such authority, unless redelegation of authority is specifically prohibited or is limited. 1. An official who delegates an authority does not divest himself/herself of the power to exercise that authority. 2. Del egation of an authority does not preclude that management official from later revoking that authority from the lower level. The delegation or redelegation may be revoked at any time upon proper notice (see Chapter 3). 3. Del egation of an authority does not relieve that individual of the responsibility for action taken pursuant to the delegation. 4. A n official or employee to whom an authority is delegated must exercise this authority in conformance with any overriding requirements that govern its use------a s the person making the delegation BLM MANUAL Supersedes Rel. 1-1717 Rel.

Such overriding requirements and restrictions are found in the Departmental M anual, Council on Environmental Quality Regulations, Code of Federal Regulations, and/or Executive Orders. 5. Del egated authority must be exercised in accordance with relevant policies, standards, programs, organization and budgetary limitations, and administrative instructions prescribed by officials of the Department and the BLM. 6. A ny delegation to a position may in turn be re delegated unless redelegation is prohibited. 7. Am delegations and redelegations must conform to the provisions of this BLM M anual Secti on. 2.2 L evel of Redelleeggaattiion. A. G eneral Rule for Level of Redel egation. It is the policy of the BLM that all authorities are delegated to the lowest organizational level possible, consistent with efficient program management. B. C riteria for Determining Level of Authority. To determine which level in the BLM constitutes the "lowest organizational level possible", the following criteria are used: 1. The position to which redelegation is being considered has access to, on a regular basis, the knowledge and skills necessary to judiciously exercise the authority. 2. T here are no legal restrictions or reservations of authority precluding the redelegation. 3. There are, or will be provided, adequate guidelines accompanying the redelegation. 4. T here is, or will be provided, adequate staff and funding at the level of redelegation to carry out the responsibilities inherent in the redelegation. 5. The organizational structure and geographic location of the position receiving the authority is such that the incumbent will be able to exercise that BLM MANUAL Supersedes Rel. 1-1717 Rel. No. 1-1779 Date: 10/27/2016 1203 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY (Internal authority effectively. 6. There is, or will be provided, access to all necessary data/information/records needed to carry out the delegated authorities. 2-3 2.3 P ublication of Delegati ons or Redel egatio A. Departmental Req uireme nts. Departmental M anual Part 200 DM 1.10 states that any redelegation of the Secretary's authority will follow the policy that if the redelegation "has a direct impact on some sector of the public, it will be published in the F ederal R e gister. 55 The sub-chapter further states that officials should use "judgement" in determining the point at which the redelegation directly affects the public and therefore should be published in the Federal R e g iste r. 1. Redelegations of authority of a purely internal nature (contracts, personnel, some Cadastral Survey matters, etc.) do not require publication. 2. T he purpose of publishing delegations of authority in the F ederal Register is to officially notify the public of the organizational location where the BLM will act on specific matters. Therefore, it is not necessary to publish a redelegation of authority if the authority will in turn be re-delegated to a lower organizational level. Only the last delegation needs to be published. 3. Most BLM authorities do not need to be published in the F ederal Register. It is emphasized that only instances of direct impact on the public require publication. B. P ublishing Method. To save paperwork and time in the State Offi ces, plenary delegations of authority to State Directors that will in turn be re-delegated to all Distric t/Fi eld office personnel will be published in one announcement in the F ederal Register rather than having each State Offi ce publish an announcement. Thi s one announcement delegating authority directly to District/F ield office personnel must be published under the Director's (or appropriate Assistant Director's) signature.

DELEGATING, REDELEGATING, OR REVOKING AUTHORITY. 3.1 N otification of P osition Receiving Authority. Delegations of authority must, in all instances, be made by written notice to the position receiving the authority. This written notice must be made on Form 1203-2, Del egation of Authority, or a similar form used as part of a State M anual Supplement to the BLM M anual Section 1203 https ,//bl mspace.bl m.doi.net/oc/intra/dbs/eForms %20Librarv/Forms/1200-1299.aspx such as an Information Bulletin or Instruction M emorandum. Th e written notice must be signed by the official delegating the authority and sent to the position receiving the authority. 3.2 D ocumentation. Writte n documentation of a delegation of authority must be in the form of an amendment to Appendix of this M anual Section, or to the Index of a State Supplement to this M anual Secti on. A. A mendments to the BLM Manual. 1. W ashington Offi ce organizational units (Offices, Divisions and Staffs) are responsible for assuring that delegations of authority that fall within their areas of functional responsibility are accurate, current, clear and complete. 2. S uggested amendments, issues, questions or comments to the delegations of authority cited in Appendix (including identification of apparent inconsistencies between this M anual and other documents) are to be directed to Chief, Division of Evaluations and M anagement Services (WO 830). B. Revisions to Position Description. Amendments to the BLM M anual Section 1203 that delegate authorities may often require revisions in the Employee Performance Appraisal Plan (EPAP) (F orm 1400 90) , as well as position description of the position or positions receiving the authority. Authorities must not be delegated without review and if necessary (in instances of major changes in authority), reVISlOn of the EPAP's and position descriptions. 3.3 R evoking Authorities. Revocation of a delegated authority follows a similar process as delegation of an authority, described in chapters 2 and 3. BLM MANUAL Supersedes Rel. 1-1717 Rel.

Only one individual may be designated as acting for a specified period of time. Exception. If a designated acting official is telecommuting and his/her physical presence is required to sign a document or attend an emergency meeting, then the next person in line of designees can assume that role. 2. F orm 1203-1 or its electronic equivalent, Delegation and Certification of Acting Authority, should be used to record standard acting rotation schedules within office and to officially record the specific periods individuals serve in an acting capacity. Designation of acting individuals in unique situations, or not in accord with established schedules, should be made in writing to the supervisor or the acting position. B. U. nique Situations. Individuals serving in an acting capacity assume all the authorities of that position unless authorities are withheld. Individuals serving in an acting capacity assume all the authorities of that position unless authorities are withheld. If an authority is withheld a designated acting for that authority will be assigned to ensure continuity of operations. Individuals serving in that capacity must use judgment in exercising these authorities. This includes considering the relative importance of an issue, whether the issue could or should be deferred, and the known preference of the individual for whom that person is acting.

W here State Offi ce boundaries include land in two or more States and a memorandum of understanding has been signed by the State Directors involved, delegations of authority from the responsible State Director are enforced on all lands within the agreed area of jurisdiction. 4.3 S tate Supplemental M anuals. States are not required to have a supplemental manual but may create one that is consistent with the 1203 A ppendix and also identifies areas relevant only to that particular state. In such instances, the supplemental manual is required to be provided to the Washington Offi ce, Division of Evaluations and M anagement Services for publication on an internal BLM site. 1203 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY (Internal 5-1 CHAPTER 5.
