The Secretary of the Interior, working with the Board on Geographic Names, must keep geographic names and spelling consistent across the federal government. The Secretary can delegate this work to designated officials. But only the Secretary, an Under Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary can give final approval or review Board decisions.

The Secretary of the Interior, referred to in this section simply as "the Secretary," must work together with the Board on Geographic Names to keep geographic names and their spelling consistent throughout the federal government. The Secretary may have designated officials carry out this work on the Secretary's behalf. However, one power cannot be delegated that way: giving final approval to, or reviewing, actions taken by the Board on Geographic Names. Only the Secretary personally, or the Secretary's Under Secretary or Assistant Secretaries, can exercise that specific power.
