# 80.134 How must a State fish and wildlife agency use real property?

(a) If an award funds acquisition of an interest in a parcel of land or water, the State fish and wildlife agency must use the land or water for the purpose authorized in the award.

(b) If an award funds construction of a capital improvement, the agency must use the capital improvement for the purpose authorized in the award during the useful life of the capital improvement. The agency must comply with this requirement even if the agency did not use award funds to:

(1) Acquire the parcel on which the capital improvement is located; or

(2) Build the structure in which the capital improvement is a component.

(c) If an award funds management, operation, or maintenance of a parcel of land or water, or a capital improvement, the agency must use the parcel or capital improvement for the purpose authorized in the award during the period of performance. The agency must comply with this requirement even if the agency did not acquire the parcel or construct the capital improvement with award funds.

(d) A State agency may allow commercial, recreational, and other secondary uses of a grant-funded parcel of land or water or capital improvement if these secondary uses do not interfere with the authorized purpose of the award.

(e) Real property acquired with license revenue (see § 80.20(b)) must be controlled by the State fish and wildlife agency and used only for administration of the agency (see § 80.10).
