A required report or certification may not be delegated
What the document says“Any official that is required by this Act to report or to certify to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate may not delegate such authority to perform that act unless specifically authorized herein.”
Section 515. Where this Act requires a named official to report or certify to the Appropriations Committees, that official may not pass the duty to someone else, unless the Act specifically allows it. Several sections do allow it, by naming a designee.
What the document actually says“Any official that is required by this Act to report or to certify to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate may not delegate such authority to perform that act unless specifically authorized herein.”
An official told to report to Congress must do it in person. The job may not be handed off.
Some parts of this law do allow a stand in. Those say so in their own words. Everywhere else, the named person must act.
