submitted 70 years ago by ch. 512 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 130 words · no verdicts yet
If the Secretary of the Interior finds that migratory waterfowl threaten crops anywhere in the United States, the Secretary may requisition surplus grain and provide it to government bodies, officials, private organizations, or people. The Secretary must set the amount and rules to draw birds away from crops without exposing them to shooting over the feeding areas.
Upon a finding by the Secretary of the Interior that any area in the United States is threatened with damage to farmers’ crops by migratory waterfowl, whether or not during the open season for such migratory waterfowl, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to requisition from the Commodity Credit Corporation and to make available to Federal, State, or local governmental bodies or officials, or to private organizations or persons, such grain acquired by the Commodity Credit Corporation through price-support operations in such quantities and subject to such regulations as the Secretary determines will most effectively lure migratory waterfowl away from crop depredations and at the same time not expose such migratory waterfowl to shooting over areas to which the waterfowl have been lured by such feeding programs.
