TITLE 7--AGRICULTURE
CHAPTER 17--MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS
Sec. 450e. Authority of designated employees; retroactive
revocation of delegation
Whenever a delegation is made under section 450d of this title, all
provisions of law shall be construed as if the regulatory function or
the part thereof delegated had (to the extent of the delegation) been
vested by law in the individual to whom the delegation is made, instead
of in the Secretary of Agriculture. A revocation of delegation shall not
be retroactive, and each regulatory function or part thereof performed
(within the scope of the delegation) by such individual prior to the
revocation shall be considered as having been performed by the
Secretary.
