U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 563. Cooperation with States for fire protection on private or State forest lands upon the watersheds of navigable rivers
The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized, and on such
conditions as he deems wise, to stipulate and agree with any State
or group of States to cooperate in the organization and maintenance
of a system of fire protection on any private or State forest lands
within such State or States and situated upon the watershed of a
navigable river. No such stipulation or agreement shall be made
with any State which has not provided by law for a system of
forest-fire protection. In no case shall the amount expended in any
State exceed in any fiscal year the amount appropriated by that
State for the same purpose during the same fiscal year.
