The Secretary may also issue 40 rounds of ball cartridges for each midshipman for each range at which target practice is held, but not more than 120 rounds each year for each midshipman participating in target practice.
(b) Responsibilities of Institutions.— The institutions to which property is lent under subsection (a) shall—
(1) use the property for target practice;
(2) take proper care of the property; and
(3) return the property when required.
