Everyone (all 3) people in our SRO have "signing authority" on NSF applications.  When we receive notification from NSF that the PI has allowed SRO submit access, it comes to all three of us.  The person who is responsible for that particular application then carries out the submit and his name automatically appears on the NSF signature page - so they must identify the SRO individual at sign in.
 
Hope this helps.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Authorized Organizational Representative - Electronic Signature

How does your institution handle the Electronic Signature release to NSF Fastlane? 

Did you register "authorized organizational representative" and that individual actually signs in to Fastlane and does the final check and release and their name and title appears on the signature line.

or does a designated individual in your SRO office, using as their authority the signature checklist of approvals, including the authorized organizational representative, do the final check and release - and their name and title appears on the signature line.

 or some other way?
