The GIRM itself says very little about EMHCs. But if we want more information, we turn to the US norms for the distribution of Communion.

Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion Under Both Kinds in the Dioceses of the United States of America

28

Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion should receive sufficient spiritual, theological, and practical preparation to fulfill their role with knowledge and reverence. … In all matters such Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should follow the guidance of the diocesan bishop.

29

All ministers of Holy Communion should show the greatest reverence for the Most Holy Eucharist by their demeanor, their attire, and the manner in which they handle the consecrated bread or wine.

Also, on a side note here’s a quote from the same document about planning concerning Communion and EMsHC:

30

When Holy Communion is to be distributed under both species, careful planning should be undertaken so that: … a suitable number of ministers of Holy Communion are provided at each Mass. For Communion from the chalice, it is desirable that there be generally two ministers of the Precious Blood for each minister of the Body of Christ, lest the liturgical celebration be unduly prolonged.

So my question has been pretty well answered, thanks .
