in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior can let one of the Geological Survey's geologists act as Director when the actual Director is away. This keeps the Survey running without a gap in leadership.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior name a stand-in leader for the U.S. Geological Survey. The Secretary may authorize one of the Survey's geologists to act as Director whenever the regular Director is absent. The section does not set any time limit, procedure, or condition beyond the Secretary's authorization — it simply gives the Secretary this power.
