When the Secretary approves assistance to a local organization for a works-of-improvement plan, this section requires notice to the Interior Secretary. It provides for wildlife surveys and recommendations, requires consideration of feasible recommendations, and assigns their cost to Interior funds.
When the Secretary approves assistance to a local organization to prepare a works-of-improvement plan under section 1003: (1) The Secretary must notify the Secretary of the Interior. The Interior Secretary may then make surveys and investigations, prepare a report and recommendations about conserving and developing wildlife resources, and participate in preparing a plan acceptable to the local organization and the Secretary of Agriculture, under arrangements satisfactory to the Agriculture Secretary. (2) The Agriculture Secretary and local organization must give full consideration to recommendations in an Interior report submitted before they agree on a plan. The plan must include technically and economically feasible wildlife works recommended in that report if the local organization and Agriculture Secretary accept and agree to them. If the Interior Secretary asks, the report must accompany the plan when it is submitted to the Agriculture Secretary for approval or sent to Congress through the President. (3) The Interior Secretary must pay the cost of wildlife-resource surveys, investigations, and reports from funds appropriated to the Interior Department.
When the Secretary approves the furnishing of assistance to a local organization in preparing a plan for works of improvement as provided for in section 1003 of this title:
The Secretary shall so notify the Secretary of the Interior in order that the latter, as he desires, may make surveys and investigations and prepare a report with recommendations concerning the conservation and development of wildlife resources and participate, under arrangements satisfactory to the Secretary of Agriculture, in the preparation of a plan for works of improvement that is acceptable to the local organization and the Secretary of Agriculture.
Full consideration shall be given to the recommendations contained in any such report of the Secretary of the Interior as he may submit to the Secretary of Agriculture prior to the time the local organization and the Secretary of Agriculture have agreed on a plan for works of improvement. The plan shall include such of the technically and economically feasible works of improvement for wildlife purposes recommended in the report by the Secretary of the Interior as are acceptable to, and agreed to by, the local organization and the Secretary of Agriculture, and such report of the Secretary of the Interior shall, if requested by the Secretary of the Interior, accompany the plan for works of improvement when it is submitted to the Secretary of Agriculture for approval or transmitted to the Congress through the President.
