  1. Division-chief rank eliminates every nondelegable category.
  2. A routine task authorization is automatically a new statute.
  3. Only the taxpayer's preference determines who may reverse the ruling.
  4. Every old ruling expires whenever a division chief changes offices.
  5. The nondelegable ruling-reversal exception must be respected despite the officer's otherwise sufficient rank.
