(c) Memoranda of understanding - To carry out this subchapter, the Secretary may: (1) sign agreements with state^* or local governments - including law enforcement - to sort out jurisdiction issues like road management and policing that those governments would normally handle on non-federal land; and (2) publish those agreements on a Department of Agriculture public website.
