A statement of a grants officer's or agreements officer's appointment:
(a) Must be in writing.
(b) Must clearly state the limits of the individual's authority, other than limits contained in applicable laws or regulations. Information on those limits of a grants officer's or agreements officer's authority must be readily available to the public and agency personnel.
