The Secretary of Agriculture (hereinafter referred to as the "Secretary") is authorized to recruit, train, and accept without regard to the civil service 1 classification laws, rules, or regulations the services of individuals without compensation as volunteers for or in aid of interpretive functions, visitor services, conservation measures and development, or other activities in and related to areas administered by the Secretary through the Forest Service.

Editorial Notes

Amendments 1993—Pub. L. 103–82 substituted "the Corporation for National and Community Service" for "ACTION".

Statutory Notes and Related Subsidiaries

Effective Date of 1993 Amendment Amendment by Pub. L. 103–82 effective Apr. 4, 1994, see section 406(b) of Pub. L. 103–82, set out as a note under section 8332 of Title 5, Government Organization and Employees.

Short Title Pub. L. 92–300, §5, May 18, 1972, 86 Stat. 147, provided that: "This Act [enacting this section and sections 558b to 558d of this title] may be cited as the 'Volunteers in the National Forests Act of 1972'."

1 So in original. The word "and" probably should appear after "civil service".
