for such event.

(3) Not later than 30 days after entering into a real property

transaction covered by paragraph (1) or (2), the Secretary

concerned shall submit to the committees named in subsection (a) a

report on the transaction. The report shall set forth any facts or

-------------------------------

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

August 12, 1961 (75 Stat. 840)'' for ''by 1950 Reorganization Plan

No. 21, effective May 24, 1950 (64 Stat. 1273)''.

1958 - Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 33(a)(15)(A), (B),

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

and struck out provisions requiring all proceedings under this

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''.

Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 33(a)(15)(B), inserted '',

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.''

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

the earliest opportunity;

''(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

Military Facility Investment Recovery Account shall be available to

the Secretary of Defense for payment, as provided in appropriation

Investment Recovery Account shall remain available until expended.

''(d) Amounts Corresponding to the Value of Property Purchased

With Nonappropriated Funds. - (1) In the case of a payment referred

account established under section 204(b)(7)(C) of the Defense

Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act (Pub.

L. 100-526, set out below). The Secretary may use amounts in the

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

negotiations.

''(3) For purposes of this subsection, the appropriate

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

pursuant to the proposed agreement did not exceed $10,000,000.

''(g) Congressional Oversight of Payments-In-Kind. - (1) Not less

than 30 days before concluding an agreement for acceptance of

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.''
