DEs for CFII rides

[Robert M. Gary]

I"m looking at the FAA web site
http://av-info.faa.gov/DesigneeSearch.asp and trying to understand the
strange letters behind the names of the examiners. What combination of
letters tells you an examiner has authority to do an instrument add-on
ride on a CFI certificate?? Is it FIE authority, Is it CIRE authority?
Why do they make it so complicated?
