(a) The Director may, in his or her discretion and where permitted by law, delegate the authority of the Division to perform any of its functions under the Act or the Division's rules to a member or members of the Division's staff. Except as provided in (c) below, such action shall for all purposes be deemed the final action of the Division, without approval, ratification or other further action by the Division.

(b) All delegations of authority made pursuant to this section shall remain in effect indefinitely.

(c) Any determination by the Division staff pursuant to delegated authority shall be presented for review by the Director, upon timely request by any party adversely affected by such determination. Such request shall be in writing, and must be received by the Division within three days after the date of such determination. No determination by the Division staff pursuant to delegated authority shall be deemed final until all parties have been afforded an opportunity for review in accordance with this subsection.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any matter which has otherwise been delegated to the Division staff may alternatively be presented to and determined by the Director at the discretion of the Director, or upon the request of the Division staff.

(e) Whenever any provision of the Division's rules requires that a party provide notice to or file any application, petition or other submission with the Division, the Division shall provide written notice to such party, designating any member or members of its staff authorized to accept such notice or filings on behalf of the Division.
