Not sure of your question. The officiating prelate is usually the bishop or can be a priest if delegated by the bishop. If you mean sponsor, a priest can be a sponsor even if assisting, as he can step off altar to sponsor. But person who is actually confirming cannot be sponsor as he cannot anoint and sponsor at same time; but I am sure it can be worked out.
