On the recordJuly 13, 1995
Basically, when we transferred the functions of the NBS, National Biological Survey, to the U.S. Geological Survey, we put in language which prohibited the use of any funds to conduct surveys. USGS does do surveys, always with written authorization, so this simply restores that and clarifies it and makes it clear that if they are requested, and if it is authorized in writing by the private property owner, they can do the survey. Without this, USGS, for example, would be unable to go on the property of Phelps Dodge or Magnum or some other company to do a geological survey. We think it does clarify it, and it has been cleared.
