(B) Cervid The term cervid means any species within the family Cervidae. (C) Secretaries The term Secretaries means the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the United States Geological Survey, acting jointly. (2) Study (A) In general The Secretaries shall enter into an arrangement with the Academy under which the Academy shall conduct, and submit to the Secretaries a report describing the findings of, a special resource study to identify the predominant pathways and mechanisms of the transmission of chronic wasting disease in wild, captive, and farmed populations of cervids in the United States. (B) Requirements The arrangement under subparagraph (A) shall provide that the actual expenses incurred by the Academy in conducting the study under subparagraph (A) shall be paid by the Secretaries. (3) Contents of the study The study under paragraph (2) shall— (A) with respect to wild, captive, and farmed populations of cervids in the United States, identify— (i) (I) the pathways and mechanisms for the transmission of chronic wasting disease within live cervid populations and cervid products, which may include pathways and mechanisms for transmission from Canada; (II) the infection rates for each pathway and mechanism identified under subclause (I)
