CHAPTER 17--MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS
Sec. 443. Requisition of grain to prevent crop depredation by
migratory waterfowl
Upon a finding by the Secretary of the Interior that any area in the
United States is threatened with damage to farmers' crops by migratory
waterfowl, whether or not during the open season for such migratory
waterfowl, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to
requisition from the Commodity Credit Corporation and to make available
to Federal, State, or local governmental bodies or officials, or to
private organizations or persons, such grain acquired by the Commodity
Credit Corporation through price-support operations in such quantities
and subject to such regulations as the Secretary determines will most
effectively lure migratory waterfowl away from crop depredations and at
the same time not expose such migratory waterfowl to shooting over areas
to which the waterfowl have been lured by such feeding programs.
