submitted 90 years ago by ch. 764 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 185 words · no verdicts yet
Wildlife-sanctuary appropriations may pay for supplies and their distribution through Interior game-management depots, with transfers charging costs to the projects that benefit. Depot supplies remain available in later fiscal years, but purchases may not exceed reasonable current needs.
Money appropriated to administer, protect, maintain, control, improve, and develop wildlife sanctuaries, reservations, and refuges controlled by the Secretary of the Interior may be used to buy, transport, and handle supplies and materials. Those supplies and materials may be distributed at cost from Interior game-management supply depots to specially funded projects. Money may be transferred between the appropriations for those purposes so the cost of supplies, materials, transportation, and handling from the central warehouses is charged to the particular project that benefits. Supplies and materials remaining in the depots at the end of a fiscal year remain available for issue in later fiscal years. Current-year funds may be transferred between those appropriations to charge for them, without reducing that year’s appropriations in any way. However, supplies and materials may not be bought solely to increase storehouse stock beyond reasonable needs for the current fiscal year.
Appropriations made for the administration, protection, maintenance, control, improvements, and development of wildlife sanctuaries, reservations, and refuges under the control of the Secretary of the Interior shall be available for the purchase, transportation, and handling of supplies and materials for distribution at cost from game management supply depots maintained by the Department of the Interior to projects specially provided for, and transfers between the appropriations for said purposes are authorized in order that the cost of supplies and materials, and transportation and handling thereof, drawn from central warehouses so maintained may be charged to the particular project benefited; and such supplies and materials as remain in said depots at the end of any fiscal year shall be continuously available for issuance during subsequent fiscal years and to be charged for by such transfers of funds between said appropriations for the fiscal year then current without decreasing in any way the appropriations made for that fiscal year: Provided, That supplies and materials shall not be purchased solely for the purpose of increasing the value of storehouse stock beyond reasonable requirements for any current fiscal year.
