(2) The Director may make no award from the Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction (MREFC) account without the prior approval of the Board. (3) Except as provided in paragraphs (1) and (2) or by special resolution of the Board, the Board delegates to the Director authority to make any award within the authority of NSF.
