CHAPTER 30--WILD HORSES AND BURROS: PROTECTION, MANAGEMENT, AND CONTROL
Sec. 1338a. Transportation of captured animals; procedures and
prohibitions applicable
In administering this chapter, the Secretary may use or contract for
the use of helicopters or, for the purpose of transporting captured
animals, motor vehicles. Such use shall be undertaken only after a
public hearing and under the direct supervision of the Secretary or of a
duly authorized official or employee of the Department. The provisions
of section 47(a) of title 18 shall not be applicable to such use. Such
use shall be in accordance with humane procedures prescribed by the
Secretary. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to limit the
authority of the Secretary in the management of units of the National
Park System, and the Secretary may, without regard either to the
provisions of this chapter, or the provisions of section 47(a) of title
18, use motor vehicles, fixed-wing aircraft, or helicopters, or to
contract for such use, in furtherance of the management of the National
Park System, and section 47(a) of title 18 shall be applicable to such
use.

References in Text
This chapter, referred to in last sentence, was in the original
``this title'', and was translated as reading ``this Act'', meaning the
Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act which enacted this chapter, to
reflect the probable intent of Congress, because that Act does not
contain titles.
