in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The President must appoint, with Senate approval, a single official — called the National Defense Stockpile Manager — to run this law's day-to-day functions. The President can delegate most duties only to that Manager, though two specific powers can never be delegated.

(a) The President must pick one federal office to carry out the President's functions under this subchapter, except for the powers under sections 98f(a)(1) and 98h–4. That office must be one the President fills with Senate approval. (b) The person holding that office is called the “National Defense Stockpile Manager” when carrying out functions under this subchapter. (c) The President can delegate functions under this subchapter — other than the powers under sections 98f(a)(1) and 98h–4 — only to the Stockpile Manager. Once made, that delegation stays in effect until a law or executive order specifically cancels it. The President can never delegate the powers under sections 98f(a)(1) and 98h–4.
