    To provide for the exchange of lands within Gates of the Arctic

United States of America in Congress assembled,

   TITLE I--ANAKTUVUK PASS LAND EXCHANGE AND WILDERNESS REDESIGNATION

SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Anaktuvuk Pass Land Exchange and 
Wilderness Redesignation Act of 1994''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (94 
        Stat. 2371), enacted on December 2, 1980, established Gates of 
        the Arctic National Park and Preserve and Gates of the Arctic 
        Wilderness. The village of Anaktuvuk Pass, located in the 
        highlands of the central Brooks Range, is virtually surrounded 
        by these national park and wilderness lands and is the only 
        Native village located within the boundary of a National Park 
        System unit in Alaska.
            (2) Unlike most other Alaskan Native communities, the 
        village of Anaktuvuk Pass is not located on a major river, 
        lake, or coastline that can be used as a means of access. The 
        residents of Anaktuvuk Pass have relied increasingly on snow 
        machines in winter and all-terrain vehicles in summer as their 
        primary means of access to pursue caribou and other subsistence 
        resources.
            (3) In a 1983 land exchange agreement, linear easements 
        were reserved by the Inupiat Eskimo people for use of all-
        terrain vehicles across certain national park lands, mostly 
        along stream and river banks. These linear easements proved 
        unsatisfactory, because they provided inadequate access to 
        subsistence resources while causing excessive environmental 
        impact from concentrated use.
            (4) The National Park Service and the Nunamiut Corporation 
        initiated discussions in 1985 to address concerns over the use 
        of all-terrain vehicles on park and wilderness land. These 
        discussions resulted in an agreement, originally executed in 
        1992 and thereafter amended in 1993 and 1994, among the 
        National Park Service, Nunamiut Corporation, the City of 
        Anaktuvuk Pass, and Arctic Slope Regional Corporation. Full 
        effectuation of this agreement, as amended, by its terms 
        requires ratification by the Congress.

SEC. 103. RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT.

    (a) Ratification.--

        Slope Regional Corporation, Nunamiut Corporation, City of 
        Anaktuvuk Pass and the United States of America'' (hereinafter 
        referred to in this title as ``the Agreement''), executed by

        forth the obligations and commitments of the United States, 
        Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, Nunamiut Corporation and the 
        City of Anaktuvuk Pass, as a matter of Federal law.
            (2) Land acquisition.--Lands acquired by the United States 
        pursuant to the Agreement shall be administered by the 
        Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the

Boundary Modification Act of 1994''.

SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that:
            (1) Walnut Canyon National Monument was established for the 
        preservation and interpretation of certain settlements and land 
        use patterns associated with the prehistoric Sinaguan culture 
        of northern Arizona.
            (2) Major cultural resources associated with the purposes 
        of Walnut Canyon National Monument are near the boundary and 
        are currently managed under multiple-use objectives of the 
        adjacent national forest. These concentrations of cultural 
        resources, often referred to as ``forts'', would be more 
        effectively managed as part of the National Park System.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to modify the boundaries 
of the Walnut Canyon National Monument (hereafter in this title 
referred to as the ``national monument'') to improve management of the 
national monument and associated resources.

SEC. 303. BOUNDARY MODIFICATION.

    Effective on the date of enactment of this Act, the boundaries of 
the national monument shall be modified as depicted on the map entitled

SEC. 304. ACQUISITION AND TRANSFER OF PROPERTY.

    The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to acquire lands and 
interest in lands within the national monument, by donation, purchase 
with donated or appropriated funds, or exchange. Federal property

title) is hereby transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of the 
Secretary of the Interior for management as part of the national 
monument. Federal property excluded from the monument pursuant to the 
boundary modification under section 303 is hereby transferred to the 
administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture to be 
managed as a part of the Coconino National Forest.

SEC. 305. ADMINISTRATION.

    The Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the 
National Park Service, shall manage the national monument in accordance 
with this title and the provisions of law generally applicable to units

of Cabarton Bridge and upstream of the confluence of the river with the 
South Fork of the Payette at Banks.

there remain in effect the laws of the State of Idaho that as of the 
date of enactment of this Act prohibited development of hydroelectric 
projects (including dams, water conduits, reservoirs, powerhouses and 
other project works) and other water resource projects on or directly 
affecting the segment of the North Fork of the Payette River identified

        areas in the Northeastern United States and has remained 
        largely intact, including important aboriginal archaeological 
        sites, excellent water quality, beautiful rural landscapes, 
        architecturally significant mill structures and mill villages, 
        and large acreage of parks and other permanent open space.
            (2) The State of Connecticut ranks last among the 50 States 
        in the amount of federally protected park and open space lands 
        within its borders and lags far behind the other northeastern 
        States in the amount of land set-aside for public recreation.

        Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley represents important 
        close-by recreational opportunities for significant population.
            (5) The existing mill sites and other structures throughout 
        the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley were instrumental in 
        the development of the industrial revolution.
            (6) The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley contains a 
        vast number of discovered and unrecovered Native American and 
        colonial archaeological sites significant to the history of 
        North America and the United States.
            (7) The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley represents 
        one of the last traditional upland farming and mill village 
        communities in the northeastern United States.
            (8) The Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley played a 
        nationally significant role in the cultural evolution of the 
        prewar colonial period. Leading the transformation from Puritan 
        to Yankee, the ``Great Awakening'' religious revival and early 
        political development leading up to and during the War of 
        Independence.
            (9) Many local, regional and State agencies, businesses, 
        and private citizens and the New England Governors' Conference
