Authority of the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board to Delegate Power

Although the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board may not name an "Acting Chairperson," it may delegate administrative and executive authority to a single member while the position of chairperson is vacant. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/19076/download.
