            (B) determine whether such policy modified to meet the

shall be deemed a significant plan amendment pursuant to section

section, the appropriate Secretary shall select from areas under the 
jurisdiction of each of the four agencies referred to in subsection (a)

demonstration. For each such demonstration, the Secretary, 
notwithstanding any other provision of law--
            (1) shall charge and collect fees for admission to the area 
        or for the use of outdoor recreation sites, facilities, visitor 
        centers, equipment, and services by individuals and groups, or

        provide visitor services, including reservations and 
        information, and may accept services of volunteers to collect 
        fees charged pursuant to paragraph (1); and
    (4) may encourage private investment and partnerships to enhance 
the delivery of quality customer services and resource enhancement, and

fiscal year shall be distributed as follows:
            (i) Eighty percent of the amounts collected at the 
        demonstration site shall be deposited in a special account in 
        the Treasury established for the administrative unit in which 
        the project is located and shall remain available for 
        expenditure in accordance with paragraph (3) for further 
        activities of the site or project.
            (ii) Twenty percent of the amounts collected at the 
        demonstration site shall be deposited in a special account in 
        the Treasury for each agency and shall remain available for 
        expenditure in accordance with paragraph (3) for use on an 
        agencywide basis.
    (2) For purposes of this subsection, ``total collections'' for each 
site shall be defined as gross collections before any reduction for 
amounts attributable to collection costs.
    (3) Expenditures from the special funds shall be accounted for 
separately.
    (4) In order to increase the quality of the visitor experience at 
public recreational areas and enhance the protection of resources, 
amounts available for expenditure under paragraph (1) may only be used

maintenance projects (including projects relating to health and safety) 
and for interpretation, signage, habitat or facility enhancement, 
resource preservation, annual operation, maintenance, and law 
enforcement relating to public use. The agencywide accounts may be used 
for the same purposes set forth in the preceding sentence, but for 
sites or projects selected at the discretion of the respective agency 
head.
    (d)(1) Amounts collected under this section shall not be taken into 
account for the purposes of the Act of May 23, 1908 and the Act of

    (2) Fees charged pursuant to this section shall be in lieu of fees 
charged under any other provision of law.
    (e) The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture 
shall carry out this section without promulgating regulations.
    (f) The authority to collect fees under this section shall commence

established shall remain available through September 30, 1997.
    Sec. 316. The Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management may 
offer for sale salvageable timber in the Pacific Northwest in fiscal 
year 1996: Provided, That for public lands known to contain the 
Northern spotted owl, such salvage sales may be offered as long as the 
offering of such sale will not render the area unsuitable as habitat 
for the Northern spotted owl: Provided further, That timber salvage 
activity in spotted owl habitat is to be done in full compliance with 
all existing environmental and forest management laws.
    Sec. 317. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used 
for any program, project, or activity when it is made known to the 
Federal entity or official to which the funds are made available that

applicable Federal law relating to risk assessment, the protection of 
private property rights, or unfunded mandates.
