§1832 Exceptions.

Summary

Allows certain federal agencies, after talking with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to ignore the buying and use limits in sections 1823, 1824, and 1825 when the purchase or use is needed for full wildfire management or for search and rescue work. Also, those sections do not apply to activities covered by the Title V reporting rules of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3091 et seq.), to authorized U.S. intelligence activities, or to purchases that support them. Tribal law enforcement or tribal emergency service agencies, after consulting the Secretary of Homeland Security, are likewise exempt when the buying or use is needed for law enforcement or search and rescue on Indian lands.
