Secretary's administrative powers govern filing scrutiny, records, notices, certified copies and preservation in advance-ruling proceedings.

The Secretary, under the Authority's direct supervision, administers applications and petitions, maintains the official seal and records, scrutinises filings for defects, and places non-compliant matters before the Authority. The Secretary forwards applications for customs records and comments, issues and verifies service of notices, manages requisitioned records and inspection, implements record amendments, supplies certified copies, and preserves proceeding records for five years after disposal unless the Authority directs otherwise. Further functions may be assigned by special or general order.
