§315h Cooperation with associations, land officials, and agencies engaged in conservation or propagation of wildlife; local hearings on appeals; acceptance and use of contributions

Summary

The Secretary of the Interior must make rules to work with local rancher groups, state land officials, and state wildlife agencies that use or care for grazing districts. The Secretary must also hold local appeal hearings when people challenge decisions by the district’s administrative officer, using procedures like those in the land department. The Secretary can accept money donations for managing, protecting, and improving lands inside or outside grazing district borders. The money goes into a special Treasury fund that stays available until spent. The Secretary may use that fund to pay those costs and to refund donors who paid more than their share.
