temporarily perform the IG’s functions 

and duties in an acting capacity, 

pursuant to and subject to the Federal 

Vacancies Reform Act (5 U.S.C. 3345– 

3349d). However, the Deputy IG does 

not become the acting IG if, during the 

365-day period preceding the IG’s death, 

resignation, or the beginning of the 

period in which the IG is unable to 

serve, the Deputy IG served as Deputy 

IG for less than 90 days and the 

President has nominated the Deputy IG 

to the IG position. In the absence of the 

IG and Deputy IG, the officials 

designated below, in the order listed, 

shall become the acting Deputy IG and 

so shall temporarily perform the 

delegable functions and duties of the IG. 

This order may be changed by a 

delegation in writing from the IG, or by 

the Deputy IG while acting in the 

absence of the IG: 

1. Assistant IG for Investigations 

(AIG/I); 

2. Assistant IG for Audit (AIG/A); 

3. Counsel to the IG; 

4. Assistant IG for Management and 

Policy (AIG/MP) 

5. An official serving in a Senior 

Executive Service (SES) or Senior Level 

(SL) permanent position in DOL OIG 

who has the longest tenure with DOL 

OIG. 

6. A GS–15 Special Agent-in-Charge 

or Audit Director in a permanent 

position in DOL OIG who has the 

longest tenure with DOL OIG. 

II. For purposes of this order of 

succession, a designated official is a 

person holding a permanent 

appointment to the position. Persons 

filling positions in an acting capacity do 

not substitute for officials holding a 

permanent appointment to a position. If 

a position is vacant or an official 

occupying the position on a permanent 

basis is absent or unavailable, authority 

passes to the next available official 

occupying a position in the order of 

succession. 

III. This delegation is not in 

derogation of any authority residing in 

the above officials relating to the 

operation of their respective programs, 

nor does it affect the validity of any 

delegations currently in force and effect 

and not specifically cited as revoked or 

revised herein. 

IV. The authorities delegated herein 

may not be re-delegated.
