Summary

This bill transfers all functions, duties, responsibilities, assets, liabilities, and related items of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) concerning the Food for Peace Act to the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Sec. 1, Transfer of functions: Starting on the date this bill becomes law, all of USAID's authorities and responsibilities under the Food for Peace Act are moved to the Secretary of Agriculture. Any legal references to USAID or its Administrator will now mean the Secretary of Agriculture or a USDA office. The Secretary can quickly update regulations by publishing interim final rules that take effect immediately to keep programs running smoothly. The Secretary may also use any existing statutory authorities that USAID had for these programs. The Secretary must continue the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (or a successor) to provide objective analysis on potential famines and floods to help reduce food insecurity. The Secretary must consult with the Secretary of State from time to time when carrying out authorities under title II of the Food for Peace Act.
