Allows for the development of additional or more detailed plans for the administration, management, protection, access, maintenance, or development of the Trail consistent with the Blueprint, and as approved by the Secretary. Requires all designated and future designated lands within the Trail, including all federal lands, to be exclusively governed by relevant state and local laws regarding hunting, fishing, and the possession or use of a weapon (including concealed weapons), trap, or net. </p><p>Authorizes the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements with Massachusetts, Connecticut, the Appalachian Mountain Club, the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, and other organizations deemed necessary and desirable to accomplish cooperative trail objectives consistent with the Blueprint. Permits such an agreement to include provisions for limited financial assistance to encourage participation in the planning, acquisition, protection, operation, development, or maintenance of the Trail. </p><p>Encourages the Secretary to work with New Hampshire and appropriate local and private organizations to include that part of the Metacomet-Monadock Trail in New Hampshire (which lies between Royalston, Massachusetts, and Jaffrey, New Hampshire) as a component of the Trail. Makes inclusion of this segment, as well as other potential side or connecting trails, contingent upon written application to the Secretary by appropriate state and local jurisdictions and a finding by the Secretary that trail management and administration is consistent with the Blueprint.</p>]]></text>
