 GAO:  Appointment of Department of the Interior Associate Deputy Secretary, B-290233, October 22, 2002
According to the current Position Description, the incumbent Associate Deputy Secretary reports to the Deputy Secretary and is the Deputy Secretary's principal aide.  (By statute, the position of Deputy Secretary must be filled through a PAS appointment.
Applied to the present facts, we believe the foregoing case law indicates that the DOI Associate Deputy Secretary is an employee rather than an officer, either principal or inferior, and thus was not subject to the Appointment Clause's PAS or statutory delegation procedures.
For the same reason, this is also different from the situation addressed in a Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion, where the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development had made so-called “concurrent” delegations of authority to a series of HUD principal officers and their deputies.
