transaction covered by paragraph (1) or (2), the Secretary
concerned shall submit to the committees named in subsection (a) a

-------------------------------
In subsection (a), the introductory clause is substituted for
50:172 (1st 25 words, and 2d sentence). The words ''Secretary of
Commerce'' and ''Chairman of the Federal Maritime Board'' are
substituted for the words ''Chairman of the United States Maritime
Commission'' and the words ''functions transferred to the Secretary
of Commerce or the Federal Maritime Board by 1950 Reorganization
Plan No. 21, effective May 24, 1950, 64 Stat. 1273'' are
substituted for the words ''(functions of) the United States
Maritime Commission'', since the functions of the Chairman of the
United States Maritime Commission and of the United States Maritime
Commission were transferred to the Secretary of Commerce and the
Federal Maritime Board by that Reorganization Plan. The words ''or
any one or more of them'' are substituted for the words
''individually or collectively'', to make it clear that any number
of them may act and not necessarily one or all of them. The words
''equipment for them'' are substituted for the words ''their
apparel or furniture''. The words ''manufacture, or building'' are
omitted as covered by the word ''production''. 50:172 (1st 18 words
of 3d sentence) is omitted as surplusage.
In subsection (a)(2), the word ''supplies'' is substituted for
the words ''materials and equipment'', since the word ''supplies''
is defined in section 101(26) of this title to include material and
equipment.
The last sentence of subsection (a) is based on the 27 words
preceding the first proviso of 50:171, which is the source for
section 2663(a) (last sentence) of this title, and which was
incorporated into 50:172 by the cross reference in the first
sentence thereof.
In subsection (b), the introductory clause is inserted for
clarity. The words ''equipment, materials'' are omitted as covered
by the word ''supplies'', since the word ''supplies'' is defined in
section 101(26) of this title to include material and equipment.
In subsection (c), the words ''United States District Court for
the district in which'' are substituted for the words ''district
courts of the United States, where'' to conform to section 132 of
title 28.
Subsections (d)-(f) are based on the provisos of 50:171, which
are the source for section 2663(b)-(d) of this title, and which
were incorporated into 50:172 by the cross reference in the first
sentence thereof.
1958 ACT
The deletion of the last sentence of section 2663(a) and the last
sentence of section 2664(a) reflects their implied repeal by Rule
71A of the Rules of Civil Procedure for the United States District
Courts (see 28 U.S.C. 2072). (See letter from Assistant Attorney
General (Lands Division), Department of Justice, August 1957, to
General Counsel, Department of Defense.) The other changes conform
section 2664 to section 2663, both of which were based on the same
source statute (sec. 8 of the Act of July 9, 1918, ch. 143, subch.
XV, 40 Stat. 888) and both of which include the temporary use of
the kinds of property respectively covered.
1982 ACT
This corrects an error in an amendment to 10:2664(a) made by
section 12(3)(A) of the Maritime Act of 1981 (Pub. L. 97-31, Aug.
6, 1981, 95 Stat. 153).
AMENDMENTS
1987 - Subsec. (a)(3). Pub. L. 100-26 inserted ''App.'' after
''46 U.S.C.''.
1982 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 97-295 substituted ''military
department, the Secretary of Transportation, or any'' for
''military department'' and all that followed through ''or any'' in
text preceding par. (1), substituted ''transferred to the Secretary
of Transportation'' for ''transferred to the'' and all that
followed in par. (3), clarifying the ambiguity created by the
conflicting language of Pub. L. 96-513 and Pub. L. 97-31, and
inserted reference to section 3 of the Maritime Act of 1981 (46
U.S.C. 1602).
1981 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 97-31, in introductory text and par.
(3), substituted references to Secretary of Transportation for
references to Secretary of Commerce and Maritime Commission.
Amendment was executed to text in accordance with the probable
intent of Congress, notwithstanding amendment of section by Pub. L.
96-513 which substituted different language than language contained
in amendatory provisions of Pub. L. 97-31.
1980 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 96-513 substituted ''Federal Maritime
Commission'' for ''Federal Maritime Board'' in two places, and
substituted ''under Reorganization Plan No. 7 of 1961, effective

No. 21, effective May 24, 1950 (64 Stat. 1273)''.
1958 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 33(a)(15)(A), (B),

subsection to be in accordance with the laws of the State in which
the suit is brought.
Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 33(a)(15)(C), inserted ''named
in subsection (b), including temporary use,'' after ''property''.

including temporary use,'' after ''subsection (b)''.

-STATUTE-
(a) General Requirements for Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping. -
The Secretary of Defense shall, with respect to each military
installation or facility under the jurisdiction of any military
department in a State or Territory -
(1) require that all hunting, fishing, and trapping at that
installation or facility be in accordance with the fish and game
laws of the State or Territory in which it is located;
(2) require that an appropriate license for hunting, fishing,
or trapping on that installation or facility be obtained, except
that with respect to members of the Armed Forces, such a license
may be required only if the State or Territory authorizes the
issuance of a license to a member on active duty for a period of
more than thirty days at an installation or facility within that
State or Territory, without regard to residence requirements, and
upon terms otherwise not less favorable than the terms upon which
such a license is issued to residents of that State or Territory;
and
(3) develop, subject to safety requirements and military
security, and in cooperation with the Governor (or his designee)
of the State or Territory in which the installation or facility
is located, procedures under which designated fish and game or
conservation officials of that State or Territory may, at such
time and under such conditions as may be agreed upon, have full
access to that installation or facility to effect measures for
the management, conservation, and harvesting of fish and game
resources.
(b) Waiver Authority. - (1) The Secretary of Defense may waive or
otherwise modify the fish and game laws of a State or Territory
otherwise applicable under subsection (a)(1) to hunting, fishing,
or trapping at a military installation or facility if the Secretary
determines that the application of such laws to such hunting,
fishing, or trapping without modification could result in
undesirable consequences for public health or safety at the
installation or facility. The authority to waive such laws
includes the authority to extend, but not reduce, the specified
season for certain hunting, fishing, or trapping. The Secretary
may not waive the requirements under subsection (a)(2) regarding a
license for such hunting, fishing, or trapping or any fee imposed
by a State or Territory to obtain such a license.
(2) If the Secretary determines that a waiver of fish and game
laws of a State or Territory is appropriate under paragraph (1),
the Secretary shall provide written notification to the appropriate
State or Territory officials stating the reasons for, and extent
of, the waiver. The notification shall be provided at least 30
days before implementation of the waiver.
(c) Violations. - Whoever is guilty of an act or omission which
violates a requirement prescribed under subsection (a)(1) or (2),
which act or omission would be punishable if committed or omitted
within the jurisdiction of the State or Territory in which the
installation or facility is located, by the laws thereof in effect
at the time of that act or omission, is guilty of a like offense
and is subject to a like punishment.
(d) Relation to Treaty Rights. - This section does not modify any
rights granted by the treaty or otherwise to any Indian tribe or to
the members thereof.

107 Stat. 1909, provided that: ''Congress makes the following
findings:
''(1) The closure and realignment of military installations
within the United States is a necessary consequence of the end of
the Cold War and of changed United States national security
requirements.
''(2) A military installation is a significant source of
employment for many communities, and the closure or realignment
of an installation may cause economic hardship for such
communities.
''(3) It is in the interest of the United States that the
Federal Government facilitate the economic recovery of
communities that experience adverse economic circumstances as a
result of the closure or realignment of a military installation.
''(4) It is in the interest of the United States that the
Federal Government assist communities that experience adverse
economic circumstances as a result of the closure of military
installations by working with such communities to identify and
implement means of reutilizing or redeveloping such installations
in a beneficial manner or of otherwise revitalizing such
communities and the economies of such communities.
''(5) The Federal Government may best identify and implement
such means by requiring that the head of each department or
agency of the Federal Government having jurisdiction over a
matter arising out of the closure of a military installation
under a base closure law, or the reutilization and redevelopment
of such an installation, designate for each installation to be
closed an individual in such department or agency who shall
provide information and assistance to the transition coordinator
for the installation designated under section 2915 (set out
below) on the assistance, programs, or other activities of such
department or agency with respect to the closure or reutilization
and redevelopment of the installation.
''(6) The Federal Government may also provide such assistance
by accelerating environmental restoration at military
installations to be closed, and by closing such installations, in
a manner that best ensures the beneficial reutilization and
redevelopment of such installations by such communities.
''(7) The Federal Government may best contribute to such
reutilization and redevelopment by making available real and
personal property at military installations to be closed to
communities affected by such closures on a timely basis, and, if
appropriate, at less than fair market value.''

under the lease. Exercise of the authority provided by this clause
shall be made in consultation with the redevelopment authority
concerned.

involves a substantial portion of the installation, the department
or agency concerned may obtain facility services for the leased
property and common area maintenance from the redevelopment
authority or the redevelopment authority's assignee as a provision
of the lease. The facility services and common area maintenance
shall be provided at a rate no higher than the rate charged to
non-Federal tenants of the transferred property. Facility services
and common area maintenance covered by the lease shall not include
-
''(I) municipal services that a State or local government is
required by law to provide to all landowners in its jurisdiction
without direct charge; or

entitled under the modified agreement, when combined with the
cash consideration to be received by the United States for the
disposal of other real property assets on the installation, are
as sufficient as they were under the original agreement to fund
the reserve account established under section 204(b)(7)(C) of the
Defense Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment
Act (Pub. L. 100-526, 10 U.S.C. 2687 note), with the depreciated

necessary to ensure that final determinations under paragraph (1)
regarding whether another department or agency of the Federal
Government has identified a use for any portion of a military
installation to be closed or realigned under this part, or will
accept transfer of any portion of such installation, are made not
later than 6 months after the date of approval of closure or
realignment of that installation.
''(B) The Secretary may, in consultation with the redevelopment
authority with respect to an installation, postpone making the
final determinations referred to in subparagraph (A) with respect

''(2) in providing for such termination, the Secretary of
Defense should take steps to ensure that the United States
receives, through direct payment or otherwise, consideration
equal to the fair market value of the improvements made by the
United States at facilities that will be released to host
countries;
''(3) the Secretary of Defense, acting through the military
component commands or the sub-unified commands to the combatant

account established under section 204(b)(7)(C) of the Defense
Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act (Pub.

as a result of the payments-in-kind to be sought in the
negotiations.

congressional committees are -
''(A) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on
Appropriations, and the National Security Subcommittee of the
Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives; and
''(B) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on

Office of Management and Budget. The prohibition set forth in the
preceding sentence shall apply only to agreements of settlement for
improvements having a value in excess of $10,000,000. The Director
shall evaluate the overall equity of the proposed settlement. In
evaluating the proposed settlement, the Director shall consider

in the improvements being released to the host country, the
depreciation of the improvements, the condition of the
improvements, and any applicable requirements for environmental
remediation or restoration at the installation.
''(2) Each year, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on
Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of
the House of Representatives a report on each proposed agreement of
settlement that was not submitted by the Secretary to the Director

for the project in the next future-years defense program.
''(2) Not less than 30 days before concluding an agreement for
acceptance of host nation support or host nation payment of
operating costs of United States forces as a payment-in-kind, the
Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a notification on the
proposed agreement. Any such notification shall contain the
following:
''(A) A description of each activity to be covered by the
payment-in-kind.
''(B) A certification that the costs to be covered by the
payment-in-kind are included in the budget of one or more of the
military departments or that it will otherwise be necessary to
provide for payment of such costs in a budget of one or more of
the military departments.
''(C) A certification that, unless the payment-in-kind is
accepted or funds are appropriated for payment of such costs, the
military mission of the United States forces with respect to the
host nation concerned will be adversely affected.''
