Introduction to Division Delegations of Authority for LB&I
1.2.63.1 (03-19-2025) Introduction to Division Delegations of Authority for LB&I This IRM contains delegation orders (DO) for the Large Business and International (LB&I) Division. Distribution of this IRM should include all persons with a need for any of the authorities or information in this section. All approved LB&I division delegation orders are listed in numerical order. Each LB&I delegation order is based on a Servicewide delegation order. Servicewide delegations of authority and can be found in IRM 1.2.2, Servicewide Delegations of Authority. A Portable Document Format (PDF) version of this IRM can be obtained through the Electronic Publishing website. Additional information on the delegation order process can be found in IRM 1.11.4, Servicewide Delegation Order Process. The format and numbering are consistent with guidance from Servicewide Policy, Directives and Electronic Resources (SPDER). For example, delegation order LB&I 1-23-10 shows: LB&I: the organization issuing the redelegation order 1-23: the related Servicewide delegation order 10: the sequential number to indicate that more than one redelegation can be issued for each Servicewide delegation order.
General Principles
1.2.63.1.1 (06-03-2021) General Principles Division delegation orders should be issued only at the operating division (headquarters) level. Questions about current delegation orders, including revisions or issuance of new division delegation orders, should be directed to the LB&I Internal Management Document (IMD) coordinator at *LB&I IMD Coordinator. Authority should be delegated directly to the lowest level expected to take final action. Delegating authority to the lowest level for action means that every intervening supervisory position above the lowest level, including the Commissioner, has the same authority.
Current LB&I Division Delegations of Authority
1.2.63.2 (12-16-2021) Current LB&I Division Delegations of Authority Current LB&I division delegation orders are listed in numerical sequence. New or revised LB&I division delegation orders approved after this IRM revision can be found at Recently Approved Division/Function Delegation Orders; all documents are maintained on the website until the next IRM revision.
