Under the McGovern- Dole Program, participants use the donated commodities, proceeds from the sale of such commodities, or funds provided by FAS to implement activities in a foreign country pursuant to an agreement with FAS.

In cases where an agreement is funded with CCC resources, provisions of the CCC Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714 et seq.) and any other statutory provisions that are generally applicable to CCC are applicable to McGovern-Dole Program and the regulations set forth in this part.

(c) This part shall not apply to a donation by FAS to a foreign government or an intergovernmental agency or organization (such as the United Nations' World Food Program) under the McGovern-Dole Program.
