These are not unusual.  Obama, Trump and others have also signed these type delegation documents in order for cabinet position secretaries to have the authority needed to act on behalf of the administration.

I've never seen or heard of any other POTUS signing anything like that.

The folks making hay of this haven’t either or are hoping their target audience is too ill informed as well.

It’s a normal procedural thing.

Their ability to do so is codified.  Powers designated for enforcement by POTUS are really designated to the executive branch.  It is literally impossible for one person to perform the functions of every department head acting under his or her power.

The White House released a regular run of the mill note detailing a regular run of the mill procedure. Only the ill informed or the bad intentioned are making a big deal of it.
