16 U.S.C. § 460vv–2Maps and descriptions

submitted 38 years ago by Pub. L. 100-499 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 136 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Soon after this law's 1988 enactment, the Secretary of Agriculture had to file maps and legal descriptions of the new wilderness areas with Congress. These carry the same legal force as the law itself, though clerical errors can be fixed, and copies stay open for public inspection at the Forest Service.

As soon as practical after October 18, 1988, the Secretary of Agriculture had to file the maps referenced in section 460vv–1 and legal descriptions of each wilderness area it designates with the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, the House Committee on Agriculture, and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Each map and legal description carries the same legal force as if it were written directly into this subchapter, except the Secretary may correct clerical and typing errors in them. Each map and legal description must be kept on file and open for public inspection at the Forest Service Chief's office.
