CHAPTER 782

AN ACT To provide for the redemption by the Post Office Department of certain unsold Federal migratory-bird hunting stamps, and to clarify the requirements with respect to the age of hunters who must possess Federal migratory-bird hunting stamps. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 1 of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act of March 16, 1934, as amended by section 1 of the Act of June 15, 1935 (49 Stat. 378; 16 U.S.C. 1952 edition, sec. 7l8a), is hereby amended by striking out the words "no person over sixteen years of age", and by inserting in lieu thereof the words "no person who has attained the age of sixteen years". SEC. 2. The last two sentences of section 2 of said Act of March 16, 1934, as amended by section 2 of said Act of June 15, 1935 (49 Stat. 379; 16 U.S.C. 1952 edition, sec. 7l8b), are hereby amended so as to read as follows: "Each such stamp shall expire and be void after the thirtieth day of June next succeeding its issuance. The Postmaster General, pursuant to regulations to be prescribed by him, shall provide for the redemption, on or before the thirtieth day of June of each fiscal year, of blocks composed of two or more attached unused stamps issued for such year that were sold on consignment to retail dealers for resale to their customers and that have not been resold by such dealers. As used in this section, the term 'retail dealers' means persons regularly engaged in the business of retailing hunting or fishing equipment, and persons duly authorized to act as agents of a State or political subdivision thereof for the sale of State or county hunting or fishing licenses." SEC. 3. (a) Hereafter such quantity of migratory-bird hunting stamps, not sold at the end of the fiscal year for which issued, as determined by the Postmaster General to be (1) required to supply the market for sale to collectors, and (2) in suitable condition for such sale to collectors, shall be turned over to the Philatelic Agency and therein placed on sale. Any surplus stock of such migratory-bird hunting stamps may be destroyed in such manner as the Postmaster General shall direct. (b) The fourth sentence of section 2 of the Act of March 16, 1934, as amended (48 Stat. 451; 16 U.S.C. sec 7l8b), is hereby further amended to read as follows: "Such stamps shall be usable as migratory-bird hunting stamps only during the fiscal year for which issued." (c) The first and second provisos in the paragraph under the heading "Migratory Bird Conservation F u n d " in the Act of June 28, 1941 (55 Stat. 356; 16 IT. S. C, sec. 718i) are hereby repealed." Approved July 30, 1956.
