That section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1926 (ch. 498; 44 Stat. 708), is 
amended by--
            (a) inserting ``(a)'' before ``The conveyance'';
            (b) striking ``States.'' at the end of the first sentence 
        and inserting in lieu thereof ``States, except that such 
        restrictions on conveyances and uses shall not apply to those 
        lands upon which communication facilities were located as of 
        January 1, 1993.''; and
            (c) adding at the end thereof the following new 
        subsections:
    ``(b) Reasonable access for the repair, maintenance, or improvement 
of the communication facilities referred to in subsection (a) shall be 
allowed: Provided, That the granting of such access shall not be 
construed to require the Forest Service to upgrade the condition of the 
access route beyond the condition as of the date of enactment of the 
Act.
    ``(c) Recreational activities on the lands identified in section 1, 
totaling approximately one thousand four hundred and forty acres, may 
be allowed so long as such recreational use is consistent both with the 
protection of the watershed and water supply system of the city and 
with the management objectives for adjacent National Forest System 
lands.''.
