## Sec. 8 **[**[16 U.S.C. 570](/us/usc/t16/s570)**]** That the Secretary of Agriculture is hereby authorized to ascertain and determine the location of public lands chiefly valuable for stream-flow protection or for timber production, which can be economically administered as parts of national forests, and to report his findings to the National Forest Reservation Commission established under the Act of March 1, 1911 (Thirty-sixth Statutes at Large, page 961), and if the commission shall determine that the administration of said lands by the Federal Government will protect the flow of streams used for navigation or for irrigation, or will promote a future timber supply, the President shall lay the findings of the commission before the Congress of the United States. **[**Section 9 was repealed by section 704(a) of Public Law 94–579 (90 Stat. 2792).
However, the Law Revision Counsel continues to include certain sentences of section 9 in the United States Code since the repealer dealt with the implied authority of the President to make withdrawals resulting from the acquiescence of Congress, which was contained in the first and fifth sentences of section 9 of the 1924 Act. The fourth sentence of section 9 is included in in 16 U.S.C. 499.**]**
