Warrantry Director General NCA
Section 106 provides the power for a "law enforcement chief" to issue TEI warrants. The power to issue a TEI warrant may be assigned to an "appropriate delegate" only if it is not practicable for the law enforcement chief to exercise it, and only in urgent cases.
	Schedule 6 (table in Part 1) describes who is a law enforcement chief for the purposes of section 106 and, for the NCA, identifies the Director General (DG) only. The Act adds a Deputy Director General of the NCA to the list of law enforcement chiefs who are able to delegate the function of considering TEI applications under s.106 IPA 2016, to appropriate delegates (as described in the table in Part 1 of Schedule 6 IPA 2016) in urgent cases.
