                      CHAPTER 909--CIVIL AIR PATROL
 
Sec. 9443. Activities performed as federally chartered nonprofit 
        corporation
        
    (a) Use of Federally Provided Resources.--In its status as a 
federally chartered nonprofit corporation, the Civil Air Patrol may use 
equipment, supplies, and other resources, including aircraft, motor 
vehicles, computers, and communications equipment, provided to the Civil 
Air Patrol by a department or agency of the Federal Government or 
acquired by or for the Civil Air Patrol with appropriated funds (or with 
funds of the Civil Air Patrol, but reimbursed from appropriated funds)--
        (1) to provide assistance requested by State or local 
    governmental authorities to perform disaster relief missions and 
    activities, other emergency missions and activities, and 
    nonemergency missions and activities; and
        (2) to fulfill its other purposes set forth in section 40302 of 
    title 36.

    (b) Use Subject to Applicable Laws.--The use of equipment, supplies, 
or other resources under subsection (a) is subject to the laws and 
regulations that govern the use by nonprofit corporations of federally 
provided assets or of assets purchased with appropriated funds, as the 
case may be.
    (c) Authority Not Contingent on Reimbursement.--The authority for 
the Civil Air Patrol to provide assistance under subsection (a)(1) is 
not contingent on the Civil Air Patrol being reimbursed for the cost of 
providing the assistance. If the Civil Air Patrol elects to require 
reimbursement for the provision of assistance under such subsection, the 
Civil Air Patrol may establish the reimbursement rate at a rate less 
than the rates charged by private sector sources for equivalent 
services.
    (d) Liability Insurance.--The Secretary of the Air Force may provide 
the Civil Air Patrol with funds for paying the cost of liability 
insurance to cover missions and activities carried out under this 
section.
