Sec. 447. Requisition of surplus grain; prevention of starvation
of resident game birds and other resident wildlife; utilization
by State agencies; reimbursement for packaging and transporting
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 447 to 449 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 447 to
449 of this title.
