be necessary to promote the efficient and coordinated
administration of the Administration and properly assess progress
toward the achievement of its missions.
(c) Delegation of functions
Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the Administrator
may delegate any of his functions to such officers and employees of
the Administration as he may designate, and may authorize such
successive redelegations of such functions as he may deem to be
necessary or appropriate.
