The legally authorized signatory required to certify PDRs is known as?

• A. The QSP
• B. The LRP
• C. The QSD
• D. The CGP Inspector

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that certification of PDRs must come from someone who has real legal authority to bind the organization. This person is the Legally Responsible Person (LRP). The LRP is designated to sign and certify that the information in the PDR is complete, accurate, and in compliance with the permit. While the QSP and QSD are professionals who prepare and verify the plan and reports, they do not carry the formal legal signing authority for the organization. A CGP Inspector is an regulatory inspector, not the signatory. So, the legally authorized signatory is the Legally Responsible Person.
