This law borrows enforcement powers from listed sections of title 15 and title 47. The Secretary or an agent can investigate anywhere in the United States. Courts named under a related section can also use these enforcement powers.
This section is a single, undivided provision. To administer and enforce this chapter efficiently, certain provisions — including penalties — from sections 46, 48, 49, and 50 of title 15 apply here (except paragraphs (c) through (h) of section 46, and the last paragraph of section 49 of title 15), along with a provision from section 409(l) of title 47. These borrowed provisions give the Secretary* jurisdiction, power, and duties to enforce this chapter, and apply to anyone the Secretary uses that authority against.
The Secretary, personally or through agents, may conduct any investigation needed for these duties anywhere in the United States*. The powers that sections 49 and 50 of title 15 give to U.S. district courts can also be used, for the purposes of this chapter, by any court named in section 467c of this title.
For the efficient administration and enforcement of this chapter, the provision (including penalties) of sections 46, 48, 49 and 50 of title 15 (except paragraphs (c) through (h) of section 46 and the last paragraph of section 49 1 of title 15), and the provisions of section 409(l) 1 of title 47, are made applicable to the jurisdiction, powers, and duties of the Secretary* in administering and enforcing the provisions of this chapter and to any person* with respect to whom such authority is exercised. The Secretary, in person or by such agents as he may designate, may prosecute any inquiry necessary to his duties under this chapter in any part of the United States*, and the powers conferred by said sections 49 and 50 of title 15 on the district courts of the United States may be exercised for the purposes of this chapter by any court designated in section 467c of this title.
