submitted 80 years ago by ch. 966 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 422 words · no verdicts yet
Congress authorized specified amounts for agricultural marketing research and services, plus later amounts Congress considers necessary. The Secretary may allot funds to qualified State agencies for cooperative projects subject to matching and anti-duplication rules.
(a) For agricultural research and service work involving preparation for market, processing, packaging, handling, storage, transport, distribution, and marketing, Congress authorized: (1) $2.5 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, and each later fiscal year; (2) another $2.5 million for the year ending June 30, 1948, and each later year; (3) another $5 million for the year ending June 30, 1949, and each later year; (4) another $5 million for the year ending June 30, 1950, and each later year; (5) another $5 million for the year ending June 30, 1951, and each later year; and (6) beginning with the year ending June 30, 1952, whatever additional funds Congress considers necessary. These appropriations supplement, rather than replace, Agriculture Department funds otherwise available.
(b) The Agriculture Secretary may allot appropriate amounts to State agriculture departments, market bureaus or departments, agricultural experiment stations, and other suitable State agencies for cooperative marketing-service and research projects. A State agency cannot receive an allotment or payment for a fiscal year greater than the amount it provides from its own funds for the research. Those required State funds must be in addition to funds already available for marketing services and research. Allotments must go to the agency or agencies best qualified for the project, under cooperative agreements that prevent duplicate or overlapping work within participating States. If duplication or overlap later occurs, the Secretary may and must withhold unspent project balances despite prior approval.
In order to conduct research and service work in connection with the preparation for market, processing, packaging, handling, storing, transporting, distributing, and marketing of agricultural products* as authorized by this chapter, there is hereby authorized to be appropriated the following sums:
$2,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, and each subsequent fiscal year.
An additional $2,500,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1948, and each subsequent fiscal year.
An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, and each subsequent fiscal year.
An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, and each subsequent fiscal year.
An additional $5,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1951, and each subsequent fiscal year.
In addition to the foregoing, such additional funds beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1952, and thereafter, as the Congress may deem necessary.
Such sums appropriated in pursuance of this chapter shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, sums appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of Agriculture.
The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to make available from such funds such sums as he may deem appropriate for allotment to State departments of agriculture, State bureaus and departments of markets, State agricultural experiment stations, and other appropriate State agencies for cooperative projects in marketing service and in marketing research to effectuate the purposes of this chapter: Provided, That no such allotment and no payment under any such allotment shall be made for any fiscal year to any State agency in excess of the amount which such State agency makes available out of its own funds for such research. The funds which State agencies are required to make available in order to qualify for such an allotment shall be in addition to any funds now available to such agencies for marketing services and for marketing research. The allotments authorized under this section shall be made to the agency or agencies best equipped and qualified to conduct the specific project to be undertaken. Such allotments shall be covered by cooperative agreements between the Secretary of Agriculture and the cooperating agency and shall include appropriate provisions for preventing duplication or overlapping of work within the State or States cooperating. Should duplication or overlapping occur subsequent to approval of a cooperative project or allotment of funds, the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized and directed to withhold unexpended balances on such projects notwithstanding the prior approval thereof.
