                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
                       CHAPTER 2--NATIONAL FORESTS
 
             SUBCHAPTER I--ESTABLISHMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
 
Sec. 539f. Nonprofit organization user of national forest lands


(a) Permits for organization camps; waiver of charges; performance of 
        services; loss of entitlement

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of 
Agriculture is directed to waive annually without charge all or a 
portion of payment or rental fees required under terms of a permit for 
use of certain lands of the National Forest System as organization camps 
by local units of the Boy Scouts of America or such other nonprofit 
organization when such local units of the Boy Scouts of America or such 
nonprofit organization are willing to perform services, as the Secretary 
prescribes and determines will yield a valuable benefit to the public 
and to the program of the Secretary of such lands. If the Secretary 
determines that a local unit of the Boy Scouts of America or such other 
nonprofit organization has not fully performed such services, such 
organization shall not be entitled in the subsequent year to waiver 
under the provisions of this section.

(b) ``Other nonprofit organization'' defined

    The term ``other nonprofit organization'' shall mean (1) a nonprofit 
organization holding an exemption under section 501(c) of title 26; and 
(2) a nonprofit association or nonprofit corporation, which is not 
controlled or owned by profitmaking corporations or business 
enterprises, and which is engaged in public or semipublic activity to 
further public health, safety, or welfare.

(Pub. L. 98-478, Sec. 3, Oct. 16, 1984, 98 Stat. 2216; Pub. L. 99-514, 
Sec. 2, Oct. 22, 1986, 100 Stat. 2095.)


                               Amendments

    1986--Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 99-514 substituted ``Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986'' for ``Internal Revenue Code of 1954'', which for purposes 
of codification was translated as ``title 26'' thus requiring no change 
in text.
