Section 447. Requisition of surplus grain; prevention of starvation of resident game birds and other resident wildlife; utilization by State agencies; reimbursement for packaging and transporting
For the purpose of meeting emergency situations caused by adverse
weather conditions or other factors destructive of important
wildlife resources, the States are authorized, upon the request of
the State fish and game authority or other State agency having
similar authority and a finding by the Secretary of the Interior
that any area of the United States is threatened with serious
damage or loss to resident game birds and other resident wildlife
from starvation, to requisition from the Commodity Credit
Corporation grain acquired by the Corporation through price support
operations. Such grain may thereafter be furnished to the
particular State for direct and sole utilization by the appropriate
State agencies for purposes of sections 447 to 449 of this title in
such quantities as mutually agreed upon by the State and the
Commodity Credit Corporation and subject to such regulations as may
be considered desirable by the Corporation. The Corporation shall
be reimbursed by the particular State in each instance for the
expense of the Corporation in packaging and transporting such grain
for purposes of sections 447 to 449 of this title.
