(a) Except as otherwise provided in
				  subsection (c), powers and duties shall be expressly conferred and imposed by

				  the language of the statutory or other authority which authorized the
				  regulation.

				  other authority which authorizes the regulation purports to confer the relevant
				  power or to impose the relevant duty upon an officer or individual rather than
				  upon the agency or unit thereof, a definition of the agency or unit should be
				  utilized indicating that the officer or individual acts through the appropriate
				  agency or unit. For example:
"Department
-The Department of Education of
					 the Commonwealth.
If this part confers powers or imposes duties upon the
					 Department which under a statute may be exercised by or imposed on only the
					 Secretary of Education the reference to the Department shall be construed to
					 mean the Department acting by and through the Secretary of Education, or the
					 person for the time being acting as the Secretary of Education,
					 personally."
(c) The power
				  of appointment may be conferred upon an officer, as such, where it is intended
				  that only the officer, or the person for the time being acting as the officer,

				  general rules.
(b) Special rules of
				  administrative practice and procedure shall be arranged by the agency in a
