Summary

When a State fish and game agency (or a similar State agency) asks and the Secretary of the Interior finds that an area’s resident game birds and other resident wildlife face serious starvation from bad weather or other damage, the State may get grain from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) that the CCC acquired through price-support operations. That grain must be used only by the State agencies for the purposes of sections 667g to 667g–2, in amounts the State and the CCC agree on and under any CCC rules. The State must repay the CCC for the cost of packaging and shipping the grain.

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 667g to 667g–2 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 667g to 667g–2 of this title.
