AFAIK.
Thanks for the clarification on the distinction between "granting the license" and "conducting the test." Armed with that knowledge it seems that one has to put two disparate pieces together. Examiners cannot 'grant' the license, described on page 87 in 61.B; and examiners can conduct the test for a license, described on page 249, Part 61.U.1
That means if you try reading Part 61 from start to finish (as I am attempting to do) you won't know what is going on until you have read all 472 pages. Surely there is a way of structuring this document so that one can actually read it from start to finish. At present it is like a jumbled up jigsaw puzzle.
