Terms Used In 21 CFR 1311.15

  • Power of attorney: A written instrument which authorizes one person to act as another's agent or attorney. The power of attorney may be for a definite, specific act, or it may be general in nature. The terms of the written power of attorney may specify when it will expire. If not, the power of attorney usually expires when the person granting it dies. Source: OCC

(b) When a registrant, in a power of attorney letter, limits a certificate applicant to a subset of the registrant’s authorized schedules, the registrant is responsible for ensuring that the certificate holder signs orders only for that subset of schedules.
