Codification
Words ``in the Wichita National Forest and in the Grand Canyon
National Forest'' inserted, and ``Secretary of the Interior and
Secretary of Agriculture, respectively'' substituted for ``Secretary of
Agriculture'' because of Reorg. Plan No. II of 1939, which transferred
Bureau of Biological Survey from Department of Agriculture to Department
of the Interior. The successor to Wichita National Forest, which was
then administered by that Bureau, was affected by the transfer. However,
the successor to Grand Canyon National Forest was administered by Forest
Service and was consequently not affected.
For successors to Wichita National Forest and Grand Canyon National
Forest, see Presidential Designation note set out under section 684 of
this title.
Amendments
1948--Act June 25, 1948, struck out penal provisions. See section 41
of Title 18, Crimes and Criminal Procedure.
Effective Date of 1948 Amendment
Section 20 of act June 25, 1948, provided that the amendment made by
that act is effective Sept. 1, 1948.

the Interior by Reorg. Plan No. II of 1939, see Transfer of Functions
note set out under section 671 of this title.
