conferral (from law book)

[Marrina]

Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.

Слово встречается в следующем контексте:
Further, the conflict set up by the existence of separate regimes under, on the one hand, the 1971 and 1975 Acts and under, on the other hand, the 1974 Act was especially evident in the contradictory conferral of responsibility on the Offshore Installation Manager and the Employer respectively (para 6.19).
