43 U.S.C. § 364e — Standardization of geographic names; abolition of United States Board on Geographical Names in Department of the Interior; transfer of duties
submitted 79 years ago by ch. 330 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 89 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary's decisions on geographic names become the standard for everything the federal government publishes. This section abolishes the old United States Board on Geographical Names and hands its duties to the newly created Board. All federal agencies must send their naming questions to that Board instead of deciding on their own.
With respect to geographic names the pertinent decisions and principles issued by the Secretary shall be standard for all material published by the Federal Government. The United States Board on Geographical Names in the Department of the Interior created by Executive order, is abolished, and the duties of said Board are transferred to the Board herein created, and all departments, bureaus, and agencies of the Federal Government shall refer all geographic names and problems to the said Board for the purpose of eliminating duplication of work, personnel, and authority.
