 provision of an earlier Act, September 13, 1960 (74 Stat.

National Wildlife Refuge System Administration 

 Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 668dd-668ee; 80 Stat. 927), as 

 amended. — This Act, (derived from sections 4 and 5 of 

 Public Law 89-669 of October 15, 1966) constitutes an 

 "Organic Act" for the National Wildlife Refuge System by 

 providing guidelines and directives for administration and 

 management of all areas in the system including "wildlife 

 refuges, areas for the protection and conservation of fish 

 and wildlife that are threatened with extinction, wildlife 

 ranges, game ranges, wildlife management areas, or 

 waterfowl production areas." The Secretary is authorized to 

 permit by regulations the use of any area within the system 

 provided "such uses are compatible with the major purposes 

 for which such areas were established." Not more than 40 

 percent of an area acquired as a migratory bird sanctuary 

 can be opened at any one time to hunting of such wildlife. 

 Contracts may be entered into for public accommodations 

 and donations of funds may be accepted for land acquisition 

 and management. An amendment July 18, 1968, Public Law 

 90-404 (82 Stat. 359), provides that proceeds from disposal of 

 lands in the system acquired with "duck stamp" funds or by 

 donation are to be paid into the Migratory Bird Conserva- 

 tion Fund and that the Migratory Bird Conservation 

 Commission must be consulted before disposal of any such 

 acquired land. A December 3, 1974, amendment, entitled 

 National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act 

 Amendments of 1974, Public Law 93-509 (88 Stat. 1603), 

 requires payment of the fair market value of rights-of-way 

 or other interests granted, and the proceeds deposited in the 

 Migratory Bird Conservation Fund and made available for 

 land acquisition. Public Law 94-215, approved February 17, 

 1976 (90 Stat. 190), clarified that acquired lands or interests 

 therein can be exchanged for acquired or public lands. An 

 amendment February 27, 1976, Public Law 94-223 (90 Stat. 

 199), commonly referred to as the "Game Range Act," 

 directs that all areas in the system on or after January 1, 

 1975, "shall be administered by the Secretary through the 

 United States Fish and Wildlife Service" and cannot be 

 transferred or disposed of unless otherwise directed by Acts 

 of Congress. Exceptions are provided for areas administered 

 as part of the system pursuant to cooperative agreements 

 and for transfer or disposal and exchange of acquired lands.
