Not sure what you're asking---the first line is a noun phrase that could (I suppose) be considered a nominalized form of the second and third lines (which are sentences).

I don't know if I'm in the Asshat category, but, honestly I do not know what "nominalize" means.

The delegation of full authority to the above defuty
This is a noun phrase (should be dePuty)

I delegate a authority to the above deputy
my delegation of (full?) authority to the above deputy

the above deputy is hereby delegated full authority

same as above, or if you want a noun clause: "That the above deputy is hereby delegated full authority"

Your 1st sentence cannot be nominalized any further; it is the version of the 2nd sentence, which is unidiomatic because authority does not come piecemeal - it should read: I delegate authority to the above (mentioned) deputy.
