§8310 Cooperation

Summary

The Secretary can work with other federal agencies, states, tribes, foreign governments, local foreign governments, organizations, associations, and other people to carry out this law. Anyone who helps must have the legal power needed to do the work on land in a foreign country or on tribal land (but not on land owned or controlled by the United States) and to use other facilities the Secretary approves. The Secretary may make and sell sterile screwworms to foreign governments or international groups if it won’t hurt U.S. livestock industries. If the Secretary acts alone, the sale money goes into the U.S. Treasury and is credited to the account that paid the facility’s operating costs. If done with a foreign partner, the money is split as the Secretary decides, and the U.S. share goes to the Treasury and is credited to that same account. The Secretary may also help states, tribes, or others run livestock rules, must consult other federal agency heads about activities under their control, and the Department of Agriculture leads on livestock pest and disease issues.
