in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary can let officers, agencies, or employees of other federal departments — or of governments under U.S. control — carry out this chapter's duties on the Secretary's behalf. This requires the other department or agency's head to agree first. The Secretary decides which duties to delegate and how.

With the agreement of the head of the other department or agency involved, the Secretary can make whatever arrangements the Secretary thinks fit, letting an officer, agency, or employee of a U.S. government department or office — or of a government under U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control — carry out any of the Secretary's duties under this chapter.
