submitted 18 years ago by Pub. L. 110-234 to r/title-21-FOOD-AND-DRUGS · 247 words · no verdicts yet
This section authorizes grants to certain agricultural entities for locking anhydrous-ammonia fertilizer tanks or reducing methamphetamine production from removed ammonia. It defines applicants, sets the grant formula, and authorizes funding.
(a)(1) “Eligible entity” means an agricultural-commodity producer; a cooperative whose majority produces or processes agricultural commodities; or a person mainly selling agricultural products, including agricultural chemicals, to farmers and ranchers at retail, or applying agricultural chemicals by air or ground. This section does not define “agricultural commodity” or “agricultural chemical.” (2) “Nurse tank” means the specified federal-regulation cargo tank. (b) The Secretary may grant money to add a physical lock or methamphetamine-reducing substance to an anhydrous-ammonia fertilizer nurse tank. (c) The grant is $40 to $60, as the Secretary decides, multiplied by the entity's number of fertilizer nurse tanks. (d) $15,000,000 is authorized for fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
In this section:
The term “eligible entity” means—
a producer of agricultural commodities;
a cooperative association, a majority of the members of which produce or process agricultural commodities; or
a person in the trade or business of—
selling an agricultural product (including an agricultural chemical) at retail, predominantly to farmers and ranchers; or
aerial and ground application of an agricultural chemical.
The term “nurse tank” shall be considered to be a cargo tank (within the meaning of section 173.315(m) of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect as of the date of the enactment of this Act).
The Secretary may make a grant to an eligible entity to enable the eligible entity to obtain and add to an anhydrous ammonia fertilizer nurse tank a physical lock or a substance to reduce the amount of methamphetamine that can be produced from any anhydrous ammonia removed from the nurse tank.
The amount of a grant made under this section to an eligible entity shall be the product obtained by multiplying—
an amount not less than $40 and not more than $60, as determined by the Secretary; and
the number of fertilizer nurse tanks of the eligible entity.
There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to make grants under this section $15,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
