[Spitballing] Regional Honours

[New Rogernomics]

b. The Minister appointed by the Prime Minister to be a granting official,

Can the Prime Minister appoint themselves as the granting official? If the granting authority comes from the PM office, should the law read as such?

b. The Prime Minister or any Minister appointed to be a granting official,

No, that would be strange. The granting authority comes from the act and not the PM, who appoints them. It makes more sense for Internal Management i.e. Culture, to do it. It doesn't really need to be implied that the PM can already direct their Ministers, in this case straight out direct their Minister to hand out an award.
