        amounts shall be available solely for capital infrastructure 
        projects in Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the 
        Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of 
        Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of 
        the Marshall Islands: Provided, That, in fiscal year 1997, 
        $3,000,000 of such amounts shall be made available to the 
        College of the Northern Marianas and beginning in fiscal year 
        1997, and in each year thereafter, not to exceed $3,000,000 may 
        be allocated, as provided in Appropriation Acts, to the 
        Secretary of the Interior for use by Federal agencies or the 
        Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to address 
        immigration, labor, and law enforcement issues in the Northern 
        Mariana Islands, including, but not limited to detention and 
        corrections needs. The specific projects to be funded shall be 
        set forth in a five-year plan for infrastructure assistance 
        developed by the Secretary of the Interior in consultation with 
        each of the island governments and updated annually and 
        submitted to the Congress concurrent with the budget 
        justifications for the Department of the Interior. In 
        developing and updating the five year plan for capital 
        infrastructure needs, the Secretary shall indicate the highest 
        priority projects, consider the extent to which particular 
        projects are part of an overall master plan, whether such 
        project has been reviewed by the Corps of Engineers and any 
        recommendations made as a result of such review, the extent to 
        which a set-aside for maintenance would enhance the life of the 
        project, the degree to which a local cost-share requirement 
        would be consistent with local economic and fiscal 
        capabilities, and may propose an incremental set-aside, not to 
        exceed $2,000,000 per year, to remain available without fiscal 
        year limitation, as an emergency fund in the event of natural 
        or other disasters to supplement other assistance in the 
        repair, replacement, or hardening of essential facilities: 
        Provided further, That the cumulative amount set aside for such 
        emergency fund may not exceed $10,000,000 at any time.
    ``(d) Within the amounts allocated for infrastructure pursuant to 
this section, and subject to the specific allocations made in 
subsection (c), additional contributions may be made, as set forth in 
Appropriation Acts, to assist in the resettlement of Rongelap Atoll: 
Provided, That the total of all contributions from any Federal source 
after January 1, 1996 may not exceed $32,000,000 and shall be 
contingent upon an agreement, satisfactory to the President, that such 
contributions are a full and final settlement of all obligations of the 
United States to assist in the resettlement of Rongelap Atoll and that 
such funds will be expended solely on resettlement activities and will 
be property audited and accounted for. In order to provide such 
contributions in a timely manner, each Federal agency providing 
assistance or services, or conducting activities, in the Republic of 
the Marshall Islands, is authorized to make funds available, through 
the Secretary of the Interior, to assist in the resettlement of 
Rongelap. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the 
provision of ex gratia assistance pursuant to section 105(c)(2) of the 
Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-239, 99 Stat. 
1770, 1792) including for individuals choosing not to resettle at 
Rongelap, except that no such assistance for such individuals may be 
provided until the Secretary notifies the Congress that the full amount 
of all funds necessary for resettlement at Rongelap has been 
provided.''.

                      Sec. 2. Federal Minimum Wage

    Effective thirty days after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
minimum wage provisions, including, but not limited to, the coverage 
and exemptions provisions, of section 6 of the Fair Labor Standards Act 
of June 25, 1938 (52 Stat. 1062), as amended, shall apply to the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, except--
            (a) on the effective date, the minimum wage rate applicable 
        to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands shall be 
        $2.75 per hour;

        cents per hour or the amount necessary to raise the minimum 
        wage rate to the wage rate set forth in section 6(a)(1) of the 
        Fair Labor Standards Act, whichever is less; and
            (d) once the minimum wage rate is equal to the wage rate 
        set forth in section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 
        the minimum wage rate applicable to the Commonwealth of the 
        Northern Mariana Islands shall thereafter be the wage rate set 
        forth in section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

                             Sec. 3. Report

Federal agencies or the Commonwealth to address immigration, labor or 
law enforcement activities. The report shall include but not be limited 
to--
            (1) pertinent immigration information provided by the 
        Immigration and Naturalization Service, including the number of 
        non-United States citizen contract workers in the CNMI, based 
        on data the Immigration and Naturalization Service may require 
        of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands on a 
        semiannual basis, or more often if deemed necessary by the 
        Immigration and Naturalization Service.
            (2) the treatment and conditions of non-United States 
        citizen contract workers, including foreign government 
        interference with workers' ability to assert their rights under 
        United States law.
            (3) the effect of laws of the Northern Mariana Islands on 
        Federal interests.

        identification and tracking system and its compatibility with 
        the system of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and
            (6) the reasons why Federal agencies are unable or 
        unwilling to fully and effectively enforce Federal laws 
        applicable within the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
        Islands unless such activities are funded by the Secretary of 
        the Interior.

                    Sec. 4. Immigration Cooperation

    The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service shall cooperate in the

that is operated exclusively from a port within the CNMI and within the 
navigable waters and exclusive economic zone of the United States

appropriate line officers assigned to the Walla Walla office and the 
Boise office of the Project to publish by April 30, 1996, an eastside

management of forest vegetation structure, composition, and density.
    (c)(1) From the funds generally appropriated to the Forest Service 
and the Bureau of Land Management, the Secretary of Agriculture or the 
Secretary of the Interior as the case may be, shall--
            (A) review the resource management plan (hereinafter 
        ``plan'') for each national forest and unit of lands 
        administered by the Bureau of Land Management (hereinafter

        analysis in the relevant final environmental impact statement 
        prepared pursuant to subsection (b) which is applicable to such 
        plan, and any policy which is applicable to such plan (whether 
        or not such policy is final or draft, or has been added to such 
        plan by amendment), which is or is intended to be of limited 
        duration, and which the Project addresses; and
            (B) based on such review, determine whether such policy 
        modified to meet the specific conditions of such forest, or an 
        alternative policy which serves the purpose of such policy, 
        should be adopted for such forest.
    (2) If the Secretary concerned makes a decision that such a 
modified or alternative policy should be adopted for such forest, the 
Secretary concerned shall prepare and adopt for the resource management 
plan for such forest an amendment which contains such policy, which is 
directed solely to and affects only such plan, and which addresses the 
specific conditions of the forest and the relationship of such policy 
to such conditions. The Secretary shall consult with the Governor of 
the State, and the Commissioner of the county or counties, in which the 
forest is situated prior to such decision and, if the decision is to 
prepare an amendment, during the preparation thereof.
    (3) To the maximum extent practicable, any amendment prepared 
pursuant to paragraph (2) shall establish procedures to develop site-
specific standards in lieu of imposing general standards applicable to 
multiple sites. Any amendment which would result in any change in land 
allocations within the land management plan or reduce the likelihood of 
achievement of the goals and objectives of the plan (prior to any 
previous amendment incorporating in the plan any policy referred to in 
paragraph (1)(A)) shall be deemed a significant plan amendment, or 
equivalent, pursuant to section 6(f)(4) of the Forest and Rangeland 
Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 1604(f)(4)) or 
section 202 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 
U.S.C. 1712).
    (4)(A) Any amendment prepared pursuant to paragraph (2) which 
adopts a policy that is a modification of or alternative to a policy 
referred to in paragraph (1)(A) upon which consultation or conferencing 
has occurred pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 
1973 (16 U.S.C. 1536) shall not again be subject to the consultation or 
conferencing provisions of such section 7.
    (B) If required by such section 7, the Secretary concerned shall

shall be issued only upon payment by the owner of the claim of the fair 
market value for the interest in the land owned by the United States 
exclusive of and without regard to the mineral deposits in the land or

            (1) In general.--Except as provided in subsection (c), and 
        notwithstanding any other provision of law, a patent issued 
        under subsection (a) shall be subject to a right of reentry by 
        the United States if it is used by the patentee for any purpose 
        other than for conducting mineral activities in good faith and 
        such unauthorized use is not discontinued as provided in 
        subsection (b)(2). For the purpose of this section, the term

        Federal land, or reclamation of the impacts of such activities.
            (2) Notice by the secretary.--If the patented estate is 
        used by the patentee for any purpose other than for conducting 
        mineral activities in good faith, the Secretary of the Interior

        in the manner prescribed for service of a summons and complaint 
        under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, notice specifying 
        such unauthorized use and providing not more than 90 days in 
        which such unauthorized use must be terminated. The giving of 
        such notice shall constitute final agency action appealable by 
        any owner of an interest in such patented estate. The Secretary 
        may exercise the right of reentry as provided in subsection 
        (b)(3) if such unauthorized use has not been terminated in the 
        time provided in this paragraph, and only after all appeal 
        rights have expired and any appeals of such notice have been 
        finally determined.
            (3) Right of reentry.--The Secretary may exercise the right 
        of the United States to reenter such patented estate by filing 
        a declaration of reentry in the office of the Bureau of Land 
        Management designated by the Secretary and recording such 
        declaration where the notice or certificate of location for the 
        patented claim or site is recorded under State law. Upon the 
        filing and recording of such declaration, all right, title and 
        interest in such patented estate shall revert to the United 
        States. Lands and interests in lands for which the United 
        States exercises its right of reentry under this section shall 
        remain open to the location of mining claims and mill sites, 
        unless withdrawn under other applicable law.
    (c) Patents Excepted from Requirements.--The requirements of 
subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not apply to the issuance

or local governments under other law concerning the distribution of 
revenues derived from the affected lands, which are in excess of 
$37,500,000 (hereinafter ``excess revenues'') shall be deposited into

States Treasury as miscellaneous receipts as may be required when the 
calculation of excess revenues is made.
    (b)(1) From the funds deposited into the Agriculture Fund and into 
the Interior Fund pursuant to subsection (a)--
            (A) seventy-five percent shall be available, without fiscal 
        year limitation or further appropriation, for preparation of 
        timber sales, other than salvage sales as defined in section 
        2001(a)(3) of the fiscal year 1995 Supplemental Appropriations 
        for Disaster Assistance and Rescissions Act, which--

                Forest System and lands administered by the Bureau of 
                Land Management, respectively; and
                    (ii) are in addition to timber sales for which

                appropriations acts.
            (B) twenty-five percent shall be available, without fiscal 
        year limitation or further appropriation, to expend on the 
        backlog of recreation projects on lands within the National 
        Forest System and lands administered by the Bureau of Land 
        Management, respectively.
    (2) Expenditures under this subsection for preparation of timber 
sales may include expenditures for Forest Service activities within the 
forest land management budget line item and associated timber roads, 
and Bureau of Land Management activities within the Oregon and 
California grant lands account and the forestry management area 
account, as determined by the Secretary concerned.
    (c) Revenues received from any timber sale prepared under 
subsection (b) or under this subsection, minus the amounts necessary 
for State and local government payments and other necessary deposits, 
shall be deposited into the Fund from which funds were expended on such 
sale. Such deposited revenues shall be available for preparation of 
additional timber sales and completion of additional recreation 
projects in accordance with the requirements set forth in subsection 
(b).
    (d) The Secretary concerned shall terminate all payments into the 
Agriculture Fund or the Interior Fund, and pay any unobligated funds in 
the affected Fund into the United States Treasury as miscellaneous 
receipts, whenever the Secretary concerned makes a finding, published 
in the Federal Register, that sales sufficient to achieve the total 
allowable sales quantity of the national forest system for the Forest 
Service or the allowable sales level for the Oregon and California 
grant lands for the Bureau of Land Management, respectively, have been 
prepared.
    (e) Any timber sales prepared and recreation projects completed 
under this section shall comply with all applicable environmental and 
natural resource laws and regulations.
    (f) The Secretary concerned shall report annually to the Committees 
on Appropriations of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives 
on expenditures made from the Fund for timber sales and recreation 
projects, revenues received into the Fund from timber sales, and timber 
sale preparation and recreation project work undertaken during the 
previous year and projected for the next year under the Fund. Such 
information shall be provided for each Forest Service region and Bureau 
of Land Management State office.

            (b) The Chairperson shall establish procedures to ensure 
        that no funding provided through a grant, except a grant made 
        to a State or regional group, may be used to make a grant to 
        any other organization or individual to conduct activity 
        independent of the direct grant recipient. Nothing in this 
        subsection shall prohibit payments made in exchange for goods 
        and services.
            (c) No grant shall be used for seasonal support to a group,
