Sec 202. Authority to loan excess supplies comes from 10 U.S.C., 
Subtitle A, Part IV, Chapter 153, 2576b grants the authority for the

Agreement forms FS-3100-10 and/or FS-3100-11 are used to collect the 
required information from the participating State agency that outlines 
the requirements and rules for the cooperation. Participating State 
agencies must submit separate agreements if they desire to participate 
in both programs.
    Description of Respondents: State and local government.
    Number of Respondents: 20.
