(3) 16 U.S.C. §§757a and b and 16 U.S.C. §1221 et Seg., also 
overlap with 16 U.S.C. §777 et seg., which directs the Secretary 
of the Interior, in cooperation with the States, to restore and 
Manage sport fisheries. To the extent that an anadromous fishery 
is also a sport fishery (e.g., salmon), there is overlap that 
should be recognized. 
(4) 16 U.S.C. §1361 et seq., (the Marine Mammal Protection 
Act) and 16 U.S.€. §916 et seq ?, (the Whaling Convention Act) 
overlap to the extent they both regulate catching whales. 16 
U.S.C. §1383 recognizes potential overlap and provides that the 
Marine Mammal Act is in addition to and not in contravention 
of any international convention, treaty or agreement, or Statute 
implementing the same. This seems to mean that whalers are 
required to obtain two licenses and pay two fees before they may 
hunt whales--one iS required under each act. It seems unnecessary 
to reguire two licenses and two fees to perform the same act, and 
if, in fact, only one license is required, the law should be 
clarified. 
Here, aS in other areas, there are some laws which should 
be amended to reflect the transfer of power from the Secretary 
of the Interior to the Secretary of Commerce. See, for example, 
GPUS Ge SSivibia wands) b- 
Congress may want to consider transferring from the Secre- 
tary of the Interior to the Secretary of Commerce those functions 
required under 16 U.S.C. §§661-664 (unclear whether transfer has 
been made), 16 U.S.C. §§760=-2 ‘thru 760-12, and 16 U.S.C. SazZam 
et seq. In each case, the transfer seems justified because the 
function to be transferred relates to fisheries to such an 
extent that it should properly vest in the authority in charge 
of fisheries--the Secretary of Commerce. One other transfer is 
appropriate for consideration: a transfer from the Secretary of 
the Interior to the Administrator of EPA of the obligation under 
16 U.S.C. §757£ to make recommendations concerning the elimina- 
tion or reduction of polluting substances detrimental to fish 
and wildlife. 
C. Coordinating the 1976 Act with other laws 
There are a few instances where the 1976 Act could be better 
coordinated with other statutes: 
(1) The Act should be coordinated with 16 U.S.C. §742(f£), 
which directs the Secretary of Commerce to determine policies 
to carry out the laws relating to fish. He is directed to 
develop measures to assure maximum sustainable production of 
fish and to take steps to develop, advance, manage, conserve
