TITLE 7--AGRICULTURE
CHAPTER 55--DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Sec. 2225. Employment of temporary personnel
The Department of Agriculture may employ persons or organizations,
on a temporary basis, by contract or otherwise: Provided, That no
expenditures for such temporary employment shall be made unless
provision is made therefor in the applicable appropriation and the cost
thereof is not in excess of limitations prescribed therein.
(Sept. 21, 1944, ch. 412, title VII, Sec. 706(a), 58 Stat. 742; Ex. Ord.
No. 9577, June 29, 1945, 10 F.R. 4253.)
Codification
This section was enacted as a part of the Department of Agriculture
Organic Act of 1944.
First sentence of section which related to the authority of the War
Food Administrator to employ personnel was omitted on the authority of
Ex. Ord. No. 9577, which terminated the War Food Administration.
The exception from ``the Classification Act of 1923, as amended''
was omitted as obsolete. Sections 1202 and 1204 of the Classification
Act of 1949 (63 Stat. 972, 973) repealed the 1923 Act and all laws or
parts of laws inconsistent with the 1949 Act. While section 1106(a) of
the 1949 Act provided that references in other laws to the 1923 Act
should be held and considered to mean the 1949 Act, it did not have the
effect of continuing the exception contained in this section because of
section 1106(b) that provided that the application of the 1949 Act to
any position, officer, or employee shall not be affected by section
1106(a). The Classification Act of 1949 was repealed by Pub. L. 89-544,
Sec. 8(a), Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 632 (section 1 of which revised and
enacted Title 5, Government Organization and Employees, into law).
Section 5102 of Title 5 now contains the applicability provisions of the
1949 Act.
Section was formerly classified to section 574 of Title 5 prior to
the general revision and enactment of Title 5, Government Organization
and Employees, by Pub. L. 89-554, Sec. 1, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 378.
Transfer of Functions
Functions of all officers, agencies, and employees of Department of
Agriculture transferred, with certain exceptions, to Secretary of
Agriculture by 1953 Reorg. Plan No. 2, Sec. 1, eff. June 4, 1953, 18
F.R. 3219, 67 Stat. 633, set out as a note under section 2201 of this
title.
