                 TITLE I--THE PRESIDIO OF SAN FRANCISCO

SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Presidio, located amidst the incomparable scenic 
        splendor of the Golden Gate, is one of America's great natural 
        and historic sites;
            (2) the Presidio is the oldest continuously operated 
        military post in the Nation dating from 1776, and was 
        designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962;
            (3) preservation of the cultural and historic integrity of 
        the Presidio for public use recognizes its significant role in 
        the history of the United States;
            (4) the Presidio, in its entirety, is a part of the Golden 
        Gate National Recreation Area, in accordance with Public Law 
        92-589;
            (5) as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, 
        the Presidio's significant natural, historic, scenic, cultural, 
        and recreational resources must be managed in a manner which is 
        consistent with sound principles of land use planning and 
        management, and which protects the Presidio from development 
        and uses which would destroy the scenic beauty and historic and 
        natural character of the area and cultural and recreational 
        resources;
            (6) removal and/or replacement of some structures within 
        the Presidio must be considered as a management option in the 
        administration of the Presidio; and
            (7) the Presidio will be managed through an innovative 
        public/private partnership that minimizes cost to the United 
        States Treasury and makes efficient use of private sector 
        resources.

SEC. 102. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SECRETARY OF THE 
              INTERIOR.

    (a) Interim Authority.--The Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter

extend such lease for a period terminating not later than 6 months 
after the first meeting of the Presidio Trust. The Secretary may not 
enter into any new leases for property at the Presidio to be 
transferred to the Presidio Trust under this title, however, the 
Secretary is authorized to enter into agreements for use and occupancy 
of the Presidio properties which are assignable to the Trust and are 
terminable with 30 days notice. Prior to the transfer of administrative 
jurisdiction over any property to the Presidio Trust, and 
notwithstanding section 1341 of title 31 of the United States Code, the 
proceeds from any such lease shall be retained by the Secretary and 
such proceeds shall be available, without further appropriation, for 
the preservation, restoration, operation and maintenance, improvement, 
repair and related expenses incurred with respect to Presidio 
properties. The Secretary may adjust the rental charge on any such 
lease for any amounts to be expended by the lessee for preservation, 
maintenance, restoration, improvement, repair and related expenses with 
respect to properties and infrastructure within the Presidio.
    (b) Public Information and Interpretation.--The Secretary shall be 
responsible, in cooperation with the Presidio Trust, for providing 
public interpretive services, visitor orientation and educational 
programs on all lands within the Presidio.
    (c) Other.--Those lands and facilities within the Presidio that are 
not transferred to the administrative jurisdiction of the Presidio 
Trust shall continue to be managed by the Secretary. The Secretary and 
the Presidio Trust shall cooperate to ensure adequate public access to 
all portions of the Presidio. Any infrastructure and building 
improvement projects that were funded prior to the enactment of this 
Act shall be completed by the National Park Service.

separated from the Service by reason of such transfer, unless such 
employee is employed by the Trust, other than on detail. 
Notwithstanding section 3503 of title 5, United States Code, the Trust 
shall have sole discretion over whether to hire any such employee or 
request a detail of such employee.
    (2) Any career employee of the National Park Service employed at 
the Presidio on the date of enactment of this title shall be given 
priority placement for any available position within the National Park 
System notwithstanding any priority reemployment lists, directives,

the Office of Management and Budget, or other Federal agencies.

jurisdiction over which is transferred pursuant to this subsection, 
shall remain within the boundary of the Golden Gate National Recreation 
Area. With the consent of the Secretary, the Trust may at any time 
transfer to the administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary any other 
properties within the Presidio which are surplus to the needs of the 
Trust and which serve essential purposes of the Golden Gate National 
Recreation Area. The Trust is encouraged to transfer to the

have high public use potential and are contiguous to other lands 
administrated by the Secretary.
    (2) Within 60 days after the first meeting of the Board of 
Directors of the Trust, the Trust and the Secretary shall determine 
cooperatively which records, equipment, and other personal property are 
deemed to be necessary for the immediate administration of the 
properties to be transferred, and the Secretary shall immediately 
transfer such personal property to the Trust. Within 1 year after the 
first meeting of the Board of Directors of the Trust, the Trust and the

SEC. 212. CUPRUM, IDAHO RELIEF.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that:
            (1) In 1899, the citizens of Cuprum, Idaho, commissioned 
        E.S. Hesse to conduct a survey describing these lands occupied 
        by their community. The purpose of this survey was to provide a 
        basis for the application for a townsite patent.
            (2) In 1909, the Cuprum Townsite patent (Number 52817) was 
        granted, based on an aliquot parts description which was 
        intended to circumscribe the Hesse survey.
            (3) Since the day of the patent, the Hesse survey has been 
        used continuously by the community of Cuprum and by Adams 
        County, Idaho, as the official townsite plat and basis for 
        conveyance of title within the townsite.
            (4) Recent boundary surveys conducted by the United States 
        Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, and the United 
        States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, 
        discovered inconsistencies between the official aliquot parts 
        description of the patented Cuprum Townsite and the Hesse 
        survey. Many lots along the south and east boundaries of the 
        townsite are now known to extend onto National Forest System 
        lands outside the townsite.
            (5) It is the determination of Congress that the original 
        intent of the Cuprum Townsite application was to include all 
        the lands described by the Hesse survey.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this section to amend the 1909 
Cuprum Townsite patent to include those additional lands described by 
the Hesse survey in addition to other lands necessary to provide an 
administratively acceptable boundary to the National Forest System.
    (c) Amendment of Patent.--The 1909 Cuprum Townsite patent is hereby 
amended to include parcels 1 and 2, identified on the plat, marked as 
``Township 20 North, Range 3 West, Boise Meridian, Idaho, Section 10: 
Proposed Patent Adjustment Cuprum Townsite, Idaho'' prepared by Payette 
N.F.--Land Survey Unit, drawn and approved by Tom Betzold, Forest Land 
Surveyor, on April 25, 1995. Such additional lands are hereby conveyed 
to the original patentee, Pitts Ellis, trustee, and Probate Judge of 
Washington County, Idaho, or any successors or assigns in interest in 
accordance with State law. The Secretary of Agriculture may correct 
clerical and typographical errors in such plat.
    (d) Survey.--The Federal Government shall survey the Federal 
property lines and mark and post the boundaries necessary to implement

            (1) Adjustment of lands.--
                    (A) Portion of federal lands.--If the Federal lands 
                are greater in value than the non-Federal lands, the 
                Secretary shall reduce the acreage of the Federal lands 
                until the values of the Federal lands closely 
                approximate the values of the non-Federal lands.
                    (B) Additional federally owned lands.--If the non-
                Federal lands are greater in value than the Federal 
                lands, the Secretary may convey additional federally 
                owned lands within the Targhee National Forest up to an 
                amount necessary to equalize the values of the non-
                Federal lands and the lands to be transferred out of 
                Federal ownership. However, such additional federally 
                owned lands shall be limited to those meeting the 
                criteria for land exchanges specified in the Targhee 
                National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan.
            (2) Payment of money.--The values may be equalized by the

SEC. 302. ANAKTUVUK PASS LAND EXCHANGE.

    (a) 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.
    (b) Ratification of agreement.--
            (1) Ratification.--

                States pursuant to the Agreement shall be administered

    (c) Koniag Account.--
            (1) In general.--(A) The Secretary shall enter into 
        negotiations for an agreement or agreements to exchange Federal 
        lands or interests therein which are in the State of Alaska for 
        the Selection Rights.
            (B) If the value of the Federal property to be exchanged is 
        less than the value of the Selection Rights established in 
        subsection (b), and if such Federal property to be exchanged is 
        not generating receipts to the Federal Government in excess of 
        $1,000,000 per year, then the Secretary may exchange the 
        Federal property for that portion of the Selection Rights 
        having a value equal to that of the Federal property. The 
        remaining selection rights shall remain available for 
        additional exchanges.
            (C) For the purposes of any exchange to be consummated 
        under this section, if less than all the selection rights are 
        being exchanged, then the value of the selection rights being 
        exchanged shall be equal to the number of acres of selection 
        rights being exchanged multiplied by a fraction, the numerator 
        of which is the value of all the selection rights as determined 
        pursuant to subsection (b) hereof and the denominator of which 
        is the total number of acres of selection rights.
            (2) Additional exchanges.--If, after 10 years from the date 
        of the enactment of this section, the Secretary was unable to 
        conclude such exchanges as may be required to acquire all of 
        the selection rights, he shall conclude exchanges for the 
        remaining selection rights for such Federal property as may be 
        identified by Koniag, which property is available for transfer 
        to the administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary under any 
        provision of law and which property, at the time of the 
        proposed transfer to Koniag is not generating receipts of the 
        Federal Government in excess of $1,000,000 per year. The 
        Secretary shall keep Koniag advised in a timely manner as to 
        which properties may be available for such transfer. Upon 
        receipt of such identification by Koniag, the Secretary shall 
        request in a timely manner the transfer of such identified 
        property to the administrative jurisdiction of the Department 
        of the Interior. Such property shall not be subject to the 
        geographic limitations of section 206(b) of the Federal Land 
        Policy and Management Act and may be retained by the Secretary 
        solely for purposes of transferring it to Koniag to complete 
        the exchange. Should the value of the property so identified by 
        Koniag be in excess of the value of the remaining selection 
        rights, then Koniag shall have the option of (A) declining to 
        proceed with the exchange and identifying other property, or 
        (B) paying the difference in value between the property rights.
            (3) Revenues.--Any property received by Koniag in an 
        exchange entered into pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) shall be 
        deemed to be an interest in the subsurface for purposes of 
        section 7(i) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 
        U.S.C. 1601 et seq.): Provided however, That should Koniag make 
        a payment to equalize the value in any such exchange, then 
        Koniag will be deemed to hold an undivided interest in the 
        property equal in value to such payment which interest shall 
        not be subject to the provisions of section 7(i) of that Act.
    (d) Authority To Appoint and Remove Trustee.--In establishing a 
Settlement Trust under section 39 of the Alaska Native Claims 
Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1629c), Koniag may delegate, in whole or in 
part, the authority granted to Koniag under subsection (b)(2) of such 
section to any entity that Koniag may select without affecting the 
status of the trust as a Settlement Trust under such section.

        of lands under paragraph (1), as are of approximate equal value 
        to the Federal selected lands:
                    (A) Certain lands located within the exterior 
                boundaries of the Cache National Forest in Weber 
                County, Utah, which comprise approximately 640 acres

                boundaries of the Cache National Forest in Weber 
                County, Utah, which comprise approximately 2,040 acres 
                and are generally depicted on a map entitled ``North 
                Fork Ogden River--Devil's Gate Valley'', dated October 
                1995.
                    (E) Such additional offered lands in the State of 
                Utah as may be necessary to make the values of the 
                lands exchanged pursuant to this section approximately 
                equal, and which are acceptable to the Secretary.
            (3) Substitution of offered lands.--If one or more of the 
        precise offered land parcels identified in subparagraphs (A) 
        through (D) of paragraph (2) is unable to be conveyed to the 
        United States due to appraisal or other reasons, or if the 
        Secretary and the Sun Valley Company mutually agree and the 
        Secretary determines that an alternative offered land package 
        would better serve long-term public needs and objectives, the 
        Sun Valley Company may simultaneously convey to the United 
        States alternative offered lands in the State of Utah 
        acceptable to the Secretary in lieu of any or all of the lands 
        identified in subparagraphs (A) through (D) of paragraph (2).
            (4) Valuation and appraisals.--(A) Values of the lands to 
        be exchanged pursuant to this section shall be equal as 
        determined by the Secretary utilizing nationally recognized 
        appraisal standards and in accordance with section 206 of the 
        Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. The appraisal 
        reports shall be written to Federal standards as defined in the 
        Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions. If, 
        due to size, location, or use of lands exchanged under this 
        section, the values are not exactly equal, they shall be 
        equalized by the payment of cash equalization money to the 
        Secretary or the Sun Valley Company as appropriate in 
        accordance with section 206(b) of the Federal Land Policy and 
        Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1716(b)). In order to 
        expedite the consummation of the exchange directed by this 
        section, the Sun Valley Company shall arrange and pay for 
        appraisals of the offered and selected lands by a qualified 
        appraiser with experience in appraising similar properties and 
        who is mutually acceptable to the Sun Valley Company and the 
        Secretary. The appraisal of the Federal selected lands shall be 
        completed and submitted to the Secretary for technical review 
        and approval no later than 120 days after the date of enactment 
        of this Act, and the Secretary shall make a determination of 
        value not later than 30 days after receipt of the appraisal. In 
        the event the Secretary and the Sun Valley Company are unable 
        to agree to the appraised value of a certain tract or tracts of 
        land, the appraisal, appraisals, or appraisal issues in dispute 
        and a final determination of value shall be resolved through a 
        process of bargaining or submission to arbitration in 
        accordance with section 206(d) of the Federal Land Policy and 
        Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1716(d)).
            (B) In order to expedite the appraisal of the Federal 
        selected lands, such appraisal shall--
                    (i) value the land in its unimproved state, as a 
                single entity for its highest and best use as if in 
                private ownership and as of the date of enactment of 
                this Act;
                    (ii) consider the Federal lands as an independent 
                property as though in the private marketplace and 
                suitable for development to its highest and best use;
                    (iii) consider in the appraisal any encumbrance on 
                the title anticipated to be in the conveyance to Sun 
                Valley Company and reflect its effect on the fair 
                market value of the property; and
                    (iv) not reflect any enhancement in value to the 
                Federal selected lands based on the existence of 
                private lands owned by the Sun Valley Company in the 
                vicinity of the Snowbasin Ski Resort, and shall assume 
                that private lands owned by the Sun Valley Company are 
                not available for use in conjunction with the Federal 
                selected lands.
    (d) General Provisions Relating to the Exchange.--
            (1) In general.--The exchange authorized by this section 
        shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
                    (A) Reserved rights-of-way.--In any deed issued 
                pursuant to subsection (c)(1), the Secretary shall 
                reserve in the United States a right of reasonable 
                access across the conveyed property for public access 
                and for administrative purposes of the United States 
                necessary to manage adjacent federally-owned lands. The 
                terms of such reservation shall be prescribed by the 
                Secretary within 30 days after the date of the 
                enactment of this Act.
                    (B) Right of rescission.--This section shall not be 
                binding on either the United States or the Sun Valley 
                Company if, within 30 days after the final 
                determination of value of the Federal selected lands, 
                the Sun Valley Company submits to the Secretary a duly 
                authorized and executed resolution of the Company 
                stating its intention not to enter into the exchange 
                authorized by this section.
            (2) Withdrawal.--Subject to valid existing rights, 
        effective on the date of enactment of this Act, the Federal 
        selected lands described in subsection (c)(1) and all National 
        Forest System lands currently under special use permit to the 
        Sun Valley Company at the Snowbasin Ski Resort are hereby 
        withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the public land 
        laws (including the mining laws) and from disposition under all 
        laws pertaining to mineral and geothermal leasing.
            (3) Deed.--The conveyance of the offered lands to the 
        United States under this section shall be by general warranty 
        or other deed acceptable to the Secretary and in conformity 
        with applicable title standards of the Attorney General of the 
        United States.
            (4) Status of lands.--Upon acceptance of title by the 
        Secretary, the land conveyed to the United States pursuant to 
        this section shall become part of the Wasatch or Cache National 
        Forests as appropriate, and the boundaries of such National 
        Forests shall be adjusted to encompass such lands. Once 
        conveyed, such lands shall be managed in accordance with the 
        Act of March 1, 1911, as amended (commonly known as the ``Weeks 
        Act''), and in accordance with the other laws, rules and 
        regulations applicable to National Forest System lands. This 
        paragraph does not limit the Secretary's authority to adjust 
        the boundaries pursuant to section 11 of the Act of March 1, 
        1911 (``Weeks Act''). For the purposes of section 7 of the Land 
        and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 460l-9), the 
        boundaries of the Wasatch and Cache National Forests, as 
        adjusted by this section, shall be considered to be boundaries 
        of the forests as of January 1, 1965.
    (e) Phase Facility Construction and Operation.--
            (1) Phase i facility finding and review.--(A) The Congress 
        has reviewed the Snowbasin Ski Area Master Development Plan 
        dated October 1995 (hereafter in this subsection referred to as 
        the ``Master Plan''). On the basis of such review, and review 
        of previously completed environmental and other resource 
        studies for the Snowbasin Ski Area, Congress hereby finds that 
        the ``Phase I'' facilities referred to in the Master Plan to be 
        located on National Forest System land after consummation of 
        the land exchange directed by this section are limited in size 
        and scope, are reasonable and necessary to accommodate the 2002 
        Olympics, and in some cases are required to provide for the 
        safety of skiing competitors and spectators.
            (B) Within 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
        the Secretary and the Sun Valley Company shall review the 
        Master Plan insofar as such plan pertains to Phase I facilities 
        which are to be constructed and operated wholly or partially on 
        National Forest System lands retained by the Secretary after 
        consummation of the land exchange directed by this section. The 
        Secretary may modify such Phase I facilities upon mutual 
        agreement with the Sun Valley Company or by imposing conditions 
        pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection.
            (C) Within 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
        the Secretary shall submit the reviewed Master Plan on the 
        Phase I facilities, including any modifications made thereto 
        pursuant to subparagraph (B), to the Committee on Energy and 
        Natural Resources of the United States Senate and the Committee 
        on Resources of the United States House of Representatives for 
        a 30-day review period. At the end of the 30-day period, unless 
        otherwise directed by Act of Congress, the Secretary may issue 
        all necessary authorizations for construction and operation of 
        such facilities or modifications thereof in accordance with the 
        procedures and provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection.
            (2) Phase i facility approval, conditions, and timetable.--
        Within 120 days of receipt of an application by the Sun Valley 
        Company to authorize construction and operation of any 
        particular Phase I facility, facilities, or group of 
        facilities, the Secretary, in consultation with the Sun Valley 
        Company, shall authorize construction and operation of such 
        facility, facilities, or group of facilities, subject to the 
        general policies of the Forest Service pertaining to the 
        construction and operation of ski area facilities on National 
        Forest System lands and subject to reasonable conditions to 
        protect National Forest System resources. In providing 
        authorization to construct and operate a facility, facilities, 
        or group of facilities, the Secretary may not impose any 
        condition that would significantly change the location, size, 
        or scope of the applied for Phase I facility unless--
                    (A) the modification is mutually agreed to by the 
                Secretary and the Sun Valley Company; or
                    (B) the modification is necessary to protect health 
                and safety.
        Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to affect the 
        Secretary's responsibility to monitor and assure compliance 
        with the conditions set forth in the construction and operation 
        authorization.
            (3) Congressional directions.--Notwithstanding any other 
        provision of law, Congress finds that consummation of the land 
        exchange directed by this section and all determinations, 
        authorizations, and actions taken by the Secretary pursuant to 
        this section pertaining to Phase I facilities on National 
        Forest System lands, or any modifications thereof, to be 
        nondiscretionary actions authorized and directed by Congress 
        and hence to comply with all procedural and other requirements 
        of the laws of the United States. Such determinations, 
        authorizations, and actions shall not be subject to 
        administrative or judicial review.
    (f) No Precedent.--Nothing in subsection (c)(4)(B) of this section 
relating to conditions or limitations on the appraisal of the Federal 
lands, or any provision of subsection (e), relating to the approval by 
the Congress or the Forest Service of facilities on National Forest 
System lands, shall be construed as a precedent for subsequent 
legislation.

SEC. 305. ARKANSAS AND OKLAHOMA LAND EXCHANGE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that:
            (1) The Weyerhaeuser Company has offered to the United 
        States Government an exchange of lands under which Weyerhaeuser 
        would receive approximately 48,000 acres of Federal land in 
        Arkansas and Oklahoma and all mineral interests and oil and gas 
        interests pertaining to these exchanged lands in which the 
        United States Government has an interest in return for 
        conveying to the United States lands owned by Weyerhaeuser 
        consisting of approximately 181,000 acres of forested wetlands 
        and other forest land of public interest in Arkansas and 
        Oklahoma and all mineral interests and all oil and gas 
        interests pertaining to 48,000 acres of these 181,000 acres of 
        exchanged lands in which Weyerhaeuser has an interest, 
        consisting of--
                    (A) certain lands in Arkansas (Arkansas Ouachita 
                lands) located near Poteau Mountain, Caney Creek 
                Wilderness, Lake Ouachita, Little Missouri Wild and 
                Scenic River, Flatside Wilderness and the Ouachita 
                National Forest;
                    (B) certain lands in Oklahoma (Oklahoma lands) 
                located near the McCurtain County Wilderness, the 
                Broken Bow Reservoir, the Glover River, and the 
                Ouachita National Forest; and
                    (C) certain lands in Arkansas (Arkansas Cossatot 
                lands) located on the Little and Cossatot Rivers and 
                identified as the ``Pond Creek Bottoms'' in the Lower 
                Mississippi River Delta section of the North American 
                Waterfowl Management Plan;
            (2) acquisition of the Arkansas Cossatot lands by the 
        United States will remove the lands in the heart of a critical 
        wetland ecosystem from sustained timber production and other 
        development;
            (3) the acquisition of the Arkansas Ouachita lands and the 
        Oklahoma lands by the United States for administration by the 
        Forest Service will provide an opportunity for enhancement of 
        ecosystem management of the National Forest System lands and 
        resources;
            (4) the Arkansas Ouachita lands and the Oklahoma lands have 
        outstanding wildlife habitat and important recreational values 
        and should continue to be made available for activities such as 
        public hunting, fishing, trapping, nature observation, 
        enjoyment, education, and timber management whenever these 
        activities are consistent with applicable Federal laws and land 
        and resource management plans; these lands, especially in the 
        riparian zones, also harbor endangered, threatened and 
        sensitive plants and animals and the conservation and 
        restoration of these areas are important to the recreational 
        and educational public uses and will represent a valuable 
        ecological resource which should be conserved;
            (5) the private use of the lands the United States will 
        convey to Weyerhaeuser will not conflict with established 
        management objectives on adjacent Federal lands;
            (6) the lands the United States will convey to Weyerhaeuser 
        as part of the exchange described in paragraph (1) do not 
        contain comparable fish, wildlife, or wetland values;
            (7) the values of all lands, mineral interests, and oil and 
        gas interests to be exchanged between the United States and 
        Weyerhaeuser are approximately equal in value; and
            (8) the exchange of lands, mineral interests, and oil and 
        gas interests between Weyerhaeuser and the United States is in 
        the public interest.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to authorize and 
direct the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture, 
subject to the terms of this title, to complete, as expeditiously as 
possible, an exchange of lands, mineral interests, and oil and gas 
interests with Weyerhaeuser that will provide environmental, land

SEC. 311. KENAI NATIVES ASSOCIATION LAND EXCHANGE.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Kenai Natives 
Association Equity Act Amendments of 1996''.
    (b) Findings and Purpose.--
            (1) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
                    (A) The United States Fish and Wildlife Service and 
                Kenai Natives Association, Inc., have agreed to 
                transfers of certain land rights, in and near the Kenai 
                National Wildlife Refuge, negotiated as directed by 
                Public Law 102-458.
                    (B) The lands to be acquired by the Service are 
                within the area impacted by the Exxon Valdez oil spill 
                of 1989, and these lands included important habitat for 
                various species of fish and wildlife for which 
                significant injury resulting from the spill has been 
                documented through the EVOS Trustee Council restoration 
                process. This analysis has indicated that these lands 
                generally have value for the restoration of such 
                injured natural resources as pink salmon, dolly varden, 
                bald eagles, river otters, and cultural and 
                archaeological resources. This analysis has also 
                indicated that these lands generally have high value 
                for the restoration of injured species that rely on 
                these natural resources, including wilderness quality, 
                recreation, tourism, and subsistence.
                    (C) Restoration of the injured species will benefit 
                from acquisition and the prevention of disturbances 
                which may adversely affect their recovery.
                    (D) It is in the public interest to complete the 
                conveyances provided for in this section.
            (2) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to authorize

                        and the completion of this acquisition will 
                        satisfy all of KNA's ANCSA entitlement.

                        excluding the SW\1/4\ of section 21, T. 6 N., 
                        R. 9 W, Seward Meridian, Alaska, which will be 
                        retained by the United States. The conveyance

                        transportation systems, and other development 
                        of the surface estate on the SW\1/4\, section 
                        21, T. 6 N., R. 9 W., Seward Meridian, Alaska, 
                        where the entire subsurface of the land is 
                        owned by the United States and which public 
                        lands shall continue to be withdrawn from 
                        mining following their removal from the Refuge 
                        boundary under paragraph (3)(A)(ii). The United 
                        States shall retain the ownership of all other 
                        sand and gravel located within the subsurface 
                        of this parcel.

                    (C) Payment.--The United States shall make a total 
                cash payment to KNA for the above-described lands of 
                $4,443,000, contingent upon the appropriate approvals 
                of the Federal or State of Alaska EVOS Trustees (or 
                both) necessary for any expenditure of the EVOS 
                settlement funds.
                    (D) National register of historic places.--Upon 
                completion of the acquisition authorized in paragraph 
                (1), the Secretary shall, at no cost to KNA, in 
                coordination with KNA, promptly undertake to nominate 
                the Stephanka Tract to the National Register of 
                Historic Places, in recognition of the archaeological 
                artifacts from the original Dena'ina Settlement. If the 
                Department of the Interior establishes a historical, 
                cultural, or archaeological interpretive site, KNA 
                shall have the exclusive right to operate a Dena'ina 
                interpretive site on the Stephanka Tract under the 
                regulations and policies of the department. If KNA 
                declines to operate such a site, the department may do 
                so under its existing authorities. Prior to the 
                department undertaking any archaeological activities 
                whatsoever on the Stephanka Tract, KNA shall be 
                consulted.
            (3) General provisions.--
                    (A) Removal of kna lands from the national wildlife 
                refuge system.--
                            (i) Effective on the date of closing for 
                        the Acquisition Lands identified in paragraph 
                        (2)(B), all lands retained by or conveyed to 
                        KNA pursuant to this section, and the 
                        subsurface interests of CIRI underlying such 
                        lands shall be automatically removed from the 
                        National Wildlife Refuge System and shall 
                        neither be considered as part of the Refuge nor 
                        subject to any laws pertaining solely to lands 
                        within the boundaries of the Refuge. The 
                        conveyance restrictions imposed by section 
                        22(g) of ANCSA (i) shall then be ineffective 
                        and cease to apply to such interests of KNA and 
                        CIRI, and (ii) shall not be applicable to the 
                        interests received by KNA in accordance with 
                        paragraph (2)(B) or to the CIRI interests 
                        underlying them. The Secretary shall adjust the 
                        boundaries of the Refuge so as to exclude all 
                        interests in lands retained or received in 
                        exchange by KNA in accordance with this 
                        section, including both surface and subsurface, 
                        and shall also exclude all interests currently 
                        held by CIRI. On lands within the Swanson River 
                        Road East Tract, the boundary adjustment shall 
                        only include the surface estate where the 
                        subsurface estate is retained by the United 
                        States.
                            (ii)(I) The Secretary, KNA, and CIRI shall 
                        execute an agreement within 45 days of the date 
                        of enactment of this section which preserves 
                        CIRI's rights under paragraph 1(B)(1) of the 
                        Terms and Conditions, addresses CIRI's 
                        obligations under such paragraph, and 
                        adequately addresses management issues 
                        associated with the boundary adjustment set 
                        forth in this section and with the differing 
                        interests in land resulting from enactment of 
                        this section.
                            (II) In the event that no agreement is 
                        executed as provided for in subclause (I), 
                        solely for the purposes of administering CIRI's 
                        rights under paragraph 1(B)(1) of the Terms and 
                        Conditions, the Secretary and CIRI shall be 
                        deemed to have retained their respective rights 
                        and obligations with respect to CIRI's 
                        subsurface interests under the requirements of 
                        the Terms and Conditions in effect on June 18, 
                        1996. Notwithstanding the boundary adjustments 
                        made pursuant to this section, conveyances to 
                        KNA shall be deemed to remain subject to the 
                        Secretary's and CIRI's rights and obligations 
                        under paragraph 1(B)(1) of the Terms and 
                        Conditions.
                            (iii) The Secretary is authorized to 
                        acquire by purchase or exchange, on a willing 
                        seller basis only, any lands retained by or 
                        conveyed to KNA. In the event that any lands 
                        owned by KNA are subsequently acquired by the 
                        United States, they shall be automatically 
                        included in the Refuge System. The laws and 
                        regulations applicable to Refuge lands shall 
                        then apply to these lands and the Secretary 
                        shall then adjust the boundaries accordingly.
                            (iv) Nothing in this section is intended to 
                        enlarge or diminish the authorities, rights, 
                        duties, obligations, or the property rights 
                        held by CIRI under the Terms and Conditions, or 
                        otherwise except as set forth in this section. 
                        In the event of the purchase by the United 
                        States of any lands from KNA in accordance with 
                        subparagraph (A)(ii), the United States shall 
                        reassume from KNA the rights it previously held 
                        under the Terms and Conditions and the 
                        provisions in any patent implementing section 
                        22(g) of ANCSA will again apply.
                            (v) By virtue of implementation of this 
                        section, CIRI is deemed entitled to 1,207 acres 
                        of in-lieu subsurface entitlement under section 
                        12(a)(1) of ANCSA. Such entitlement shall be 
                        fulfilled in accordance with paragraph 
                        1(B)(2)(A) of the Terms and Conditions.
                    (B) Maps and legal descriptions.--Maps and a legal 
                description of the lands described above shall be on 
                file and available for public inspection in the 
                appropriate offices of the United States Department of 
                the Interior, and the Secretary shall, no later than 90 
                days after enactment of this section, prepare a legal 
                description of the lands described in paragraph 
                (2)(A)(vii). Such maps and legal description shall have 
                the same force and effect as if included in the 
                section, except that the Secretary may correct clerical 
                and typographical errors.
                    (C) Acceptance.--KNA may accept the offer made in 
                this section by notifying the Secretary in writing of 
                its decision within 180 days of receipt of the offer. 
                In the event the offer is rejected, the Secretary shall 
                notify the Committee on Resources of the House of 
                Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural 
                Resources and the Committee on Environment and Public 
                Works of the Senate.
                    (D) Final maps.--Not later than 120 days after the 
                conclusion of the acquisition authorized by paragraph 
                (1), the Secretary shall transmit a final report and 
                maps accurately depicting the lands transferred and 
                conveyed pursuant to this section and the acreage and 
                legal descriptions of such lands to the Committee on 
                Resources of the House of Representatives and the 
                Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the 
                Committee on Environment and Public Works of the 
                Senate.
    (e) Adjustments to National Wilderness System.--Upon acquisition of 
lands by the United States pursuant to subsection (d)(2)(A), that 
portion of the Stephanka Tract lying south and west of the Kenai River,

accordance with the applicable provisions of the Wilderness Act and 
ANILCA.
    (f) Designation of Lake Todatonten Special Management Area.--
            (1) Purpose.--To balance the potential effects on fish, 
        wildlife, and habitat of the removal of KNA lands from the 
        Refuge System, the Secretary is hereby directed to withdraw, 
        subject to valid existing rights, from location, entry, and 
        patent under the mining laws and to create as a special

SEC. 607. WASHITA BATTLEFIELD.

    (a) Findings and Purposes.--
            (1) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
                    (A) the Battle of the Washita, November 27, 1868, 
                was one of the largest engagements between Plains 
                tribes and the United States Army on the Southern Great 
                Plains. The site is a registered National Historic 
                Landmark;
                    (B) Lt. Colonel George A. Custer, leading the 7th 
                United States Cavalry, attacked the sleeping Cheyenne 
                village of peace chief Black Kettle. Custer's attack 
                resulted in more than 150 Indian casualties, many of 
                them women and children;
                    (C) the Battle of the Washita symbolizes the 
                struggle of the Southern Great Plains tribes to 
                maintain their traditional lifeways and not to submit 
                to reservation confinement; and
                    (D) the Washita battle site possesses a high degree 
                of integrity and the cultural landscape is essentially 
                intact. The Cheyenne village site has not been altered 
                substantially except by periodic flooding of the 
                Washita River.
            (2) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are to--
                    (A) recognize the importance of the Battle of the 
                Washita as a nationally significant element of frontier 
                military history and as a symbol of the struggles of 
                the Southern Great Plains tribes to maintain control of 
                their traditional use areas; and
                    (B) establish the site of the Battle of the Washita 
                as a national historic site and provide opportunities 
                for American Indian groups including the Cheyenne-
                Arapaho Tribe to be involved in the formulation of 
                plans and educational programs for the national 
                historic site.
    (b) Establishment.--
            (1) In general.--In order to provide for the preservation 
        and interpretation of the Battle of the Washita, there is

                the battle site, artifacts and other physical remains 
                of the battle, and the visual scene as closely as 
                possible as it was at the time of the battle.
                    (B) To interpret the cultural and natural resources 
                of the historic site, providing for public 
                understanding and appreciation of the area in such 
                manner as to perpetuate these qualities and values for 
                future generations.
            (3) Consultation and training.--The Secretary, acting 
        through the Director of the National Park Service, shall 
        consult regularly with the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribe on the 
        formulation of the management plan provisions referred to in 
        subsection (e)(5) and on preparation of educational programs

                            TITLE VII--FEES

SEC. 701. SKI AREA PERMIT RENTAL CHARGE.

    (a) The Secretary of Agriculture shall charge a rental charge for 
all ski area permits issued pursuant to section 3 of the National 
Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 497b), the Act of March 
4, 1915 (38 Stat. 1101, chapter 144; 16 U.S.C. 497), or the 9th through 
20th paragraphs under the heading ``SURVEYING THE PUBLIC LANDS'' under 
the heading ``UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR'' in the Act of June 
4, 1897 (30 Stat. 34, chapter 2), on National Forest System lands. 
Permit rental charges for permits issued pursuant to the National 
Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 shall be calculated as set forth in 
subsection (b). Permit rental charges for existing ski area permits 
issued pursuant to the Act of March 4, 1915, and the Act of June 4, 
1897, shall be calculated in accordance with those existing permits: 
Provided, That a permittee may, at the permittee's option, use the 
calculation method set forth in subsection (b).
    (b)(1) The ski area permit rental charge (SAPRC) shall be 
calculated by adding the permittee's gross revenues from lift ticket/
year-round ski area use pass sales plus revenue from ski school 
operations (LT+SS) and multiplying such total by the slope transport 
feet percentage (STFP) on National Forest System land. That amount 
shall be increased by the gross year-round revenue from ancillary 
facilities (GRAF) physically located on national forest land, including 
all permittee or subpermittee lodging, food service, rental shops, 
parking and other ancillary operations, to determine the adjusted gross 
revenue (AGR) subject to the permit rental charge. The final rental 
charge shall be calculated by multiplying the AGR by the following 
percentages for each revenue bracket and adding the total for each 
revenue bracket:
            (A) 1.5 percent of all adjusted gross revenue below 
        $3,000,000;
            (B) 2.5 percent for adjusted gross revenue between 
        $3,000,000 and $15,000,000;
            (C) 2.75 percent for adjusted gross revenue between 
        $15,000,000 and $50,000,000; and
            (D) 4.0 percent for the amount of adjusted gross revenue 
        that exceeds $50,000,000.
Utilizing the abbreviations indicated in this subsection the ski area 
permit fee (SAPF) formula can be simply illustrated as:

    sapf = ((lt + ss) <greek-e> stfp) + graf = agr; agr <greek-e> % 
                                brackets

    (2) In cases where ski areas are only partially located on national 
forest lands, the slope transport feet percentage on national forest 
land referred to in subsection (b) shall be calculated as generally 
described in the Forest Service Manual in effect as of January 1, 1992. 
Revenues from Nordic ski operations shall be included or excluded from 
the rental charge calculation according to the percentage of trails 
physically located on national forest land.
    (3) In order to ensure that the rental charge remains fair and 
equitable to both the United States and the ski area permittees, the 
adjusted gross revenue figures for each revenue bracket in paragraph 
(1) shall be adjusted annually by the percent increase or decrease in 
the national Consumer Price Index for the preceding calendar year. No 
later than 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act and every 5 
years thereafter the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Energy 
and Natural Resources of the United States Senate and the Committee on 
Resources of the United States House of Representatives a report 
analyzing whether the ski area permit rental charge legislated by this 
Act is returning a fair market value rental to the United States 
together with any recommendations the Secretary may have for 
modifications of the system.
    (c) The rental charge set forth in subsection (b) shall be due on 
June 1 of each year and shall be paid or prepaid by the permittee on a 
monthly, quarterly, annual or other schedule as determined appropriate 
by the Secretary in consultation with the permittee. Unless mutually 
agreed otherwise by the Secretary and the permittee, the payment or 
prepayment schedule shall conform to the permittee's schedule in effect 
prior to enactment of this Act. To reduce costs to the permittee and 
the Forest Service, the Secretary shall each year provide the permittee 
with a standardized form and worksheets (including annual rental charge 
calculation brackets and rates) to be used for rental charge 
calculation and submitted with the rental charge payment. Information 
provided on such forms shall be compiled by the Secretary annually and 
kept in the Office of the Chief, United States Forest Service.
    (d) The ski area permit rental charge set forth in this section 
shall become effective on June 1, 1996 and cover receipts retroactive 
to June 1, 1995: Provided, That if a permittee has paid rental charges 
for the period June 1, 1995, to June 1, 1996, under the graduated rate 
rental charge system formula in effect prior to the date of enactment 
of this Act, such rental charges shall be credited toward the new 
rental charge due on June 1, 1996. In order to ensure increasing rental 
charge receipt levels to the United States during transition from the 
graduated rate rental charge system formula to the formula of this Act, 
the rental charge paid by any individual permittee shall be--
            (1) for the 1995-1996 permit year, either the rental charge 
        paid for the preceding 1994-1995 base year or the rental charge 
        calculated pursuant to this Act, whichever is higher;
            (2) for the 1996-1997 permit year, either the rental charge 
        paid for the 1994-1995 base year or the rental charge 
        calculated pursuant to this Act, whichever is higher; and
            (3) for the 1997-1998 permit year, either the rental charge 
        for the 1994-1995 base year or the rental charge calculated 
        pursuant to this Act, whichever is higher.
If an individual permittee's adjusted gross revenue for the 1995-1996, 
1996-1997, or 1997-1998 permit years falls more than 10 percent below 
the 1994-1995 base year, the rental charge paid shall be the rental 
charge calculated pursuant to this Act.
    (e) Under no circumstances shall revenue, or subpermittee revenue 
(other than lift ticket, area use pass, or ski school sales) obtained 
from operations physically located on non-national forest land be 
included in the ski area permit rental charge calculation.
    (f) To reduce administrative costs of ski area permittees and the 
Forest Service the terms ``revenue'' and ``sales'', as used in this 
section, shall mean actual income from sales and shall not include 
sales of operating equipment, refunds, rent paid to the permittee by 
sublessees, sponsor contributions to special events or any amounts 
attributable to employee gratuities or employee lift tickets, 
discounts, or other goods or services (except for bartered goods and 
complimentary lift tickets) for which the permittee does not receive 
money.
    (g) In cases where an area of national forest land is under a ski 
area permit but the permittee does not have revenue or sales qualifying 
for rental charge payment pursuant to subsection (a), the permittee 
shall pay an annual minimum rental charge of $2 for each national 
forest acre under permit or a percentage of appraised land value, as 
determined appropriate by the Secretary.
    (h) Where the new rental charge provided for in subsection (b)(1) 
results in an increase in permit rental charge greater than one-half of 
1 percent of the permittee's adjusted gross revenue as determined under 
subsection (b)(1), the new rental charge shall be phased in over a 
five-year period in a manner providing for increases of approximately 
equal increments.
    (i) To reduce Federal costs in administering the provisions of this 
Act, the reissuance of a ski area permit to provide activities similar 
in nature and amount to the activities provided under the previous 
permit shall not constitute a major Federal action for the purposes of 
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4331 et seq.).
    (j) Subject to valid existing rights, all lands located within the 
boundaries of ski area permits issued prior to, on or after the date of 
enactment of this Act pursuant to authority of the Act of March 4, 1915 
(38 Stat. 1101, chapter 144; 16 U.S.C. 497), and the Act of June 4, 
1897, or the National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 
497b) are hereby and henceforth automatically withdrawn from all forms 
of appropriation under the mining laws and from disposition under all 
laws pertaining to mineral and geothermal leasing and all amendments 
thereto. Such withdrawal shall continue for the full term of the permit 
and any modification, reissuance, or renewal thereof. Unless the 
Secretary requests otherwise of the Secretary of the Interior, such 
withdrawal shall be canceled automatically upon expiration or other 
termination of the permit and the land automatically restored to all 
appropriation not otherwise restricted under the public land laws.

        third undesignated paragraph. Such fee shall not exceed $25 per

available--
            ``(1) to the extent determined necessary, to acquire and 
        preposition necessary and adequate emergency response equipment 
        to prevent harm or the threat of harm to aquatic park resources 
        from permittees; and
            ``(2) to conduct investigations to quantify any effect of 
        permittees' activity on wildlife and other natural resource 
        values of Glacier Bay National Park. The investigations 
        provided for in this subsection shall be designed to provide 
        information of value to the Secretary, in determining any 
        appropriate limitations on permittees' activity in Glacier Bay. 
        The Secretary may not impose any additional permittee operating 
        conditions in the areas of air, water, and oil pollution beyond 
        those determined and enforced by other appropriate agencies. 
        When competitively awarding permits to enter Glacier Bay, the 
        Secretary may take into account the relative impact particular 
        permittees will have on park values and resources, provided 
        that no operating conditions or limitations relating to noise 
        abatement shall be imposed unless the Secretary determines, 
        based on the weight of the evidence from all available studies 
        including verifiable scientific information from the 
        investigations provided for in this subsection, that such 
        limitations or conditions are necessary to protect park values 
        and resources. Fees paid by certain permittees for the 
        privilege of entering into Glacier Bay shall not exceed $5 per 
        passenger. For the purposes of this subsection, `certain 
        permittee' shall mean a permittee which provides overnight 
        accommodations for at least 500 passengers for an itinerary of 
        at least 3 nights, and `permittee' shall mean a concessionaire 
        providing visitor services within Glacier Bay. Nothing in this 
        subsection authorizes the Secretary to require additional 
        categories of permits in, or otherwise increase the number of 
        permits to enter Glacier Bay National Park.''.

                    (B) to expand the alternatives available for

                supply housing in carrying out this section, to the

                for Federal appropriations;
                    (D) to ensure that adequate funds are available to 
                provide for long-term maintenance needs of field 
                employee housing; and
                    (E) to eliminate unnecessary Government housing and 
                locate such housing as is required in a manner such 
                that primary resource values are not impaired.
            (2) General authority.--To enhance the ability of the 
        Secretary of the Interior (hereafter in this subsection 
        referred to as ``the Secretary''), acting through the Director 
        of the National Park Service, to effectively manage units of 
        the National Park System, the Secretary is authorized where 
        necessary and justified to make available employee housing, on 
        or off the lands under the administrative jurisdiction of the 
        National Park Service, and to rent or lease such housing to 
        field employees of the National Park Service at rates based on 
        the reasonable value of the housing in accordance with 
        requirements applicable under section 5911 of title 5, United 
        States Code.
            (3) Review and revision of housing criteria.--Upon the 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall review and revise 
        the existing criteria under which housing is provided to 
        employees of the National Park Service. Specifically, the 
        Secretary shall examine the existing criteria with respect to 
        what circumstances the National Park Service requires an 
        employee to occupy Government quarters to provide necessary 
        services, protect Government property, or because of a lack of 
        availability of non-Federal housing in the geographic area.
            (4) Submission of report.--A report detailing the results 
        of the revisions required by paragraph (3) shall be submitted 
        to the Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives 
        and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate 
        not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
        Act. The report shall include justifications for keeping, or 
        for changing, each of the criteria or factors used by the 
        Department of the Interior with regard to the provision of 
        housing to employees of the National Park Service.
            (5) Review of condition of and costs relating to housing.--
        Using the revised criteria developed under paragraph (3), the 
        Secretary shall undertake a review, for each unit of the 
        National Park System, of existing government-owned housing 
        provided to employees of the National Park Service. The review 
        shall include an assessment of the physical condition of such 
        housing and the suitability of such housing to effectively 
        carry out the missions of the Department of the Interior and 
        the National Park Service. For each unit of such housing, the 
        Secretary shall determine whether the unit is needed and 
        justified. The review shall include estimates of the cost of 
        bringing each unit that is needed and justified into usable 
        condition that meets all applicable legal housing requirements 
        or, if the unit is determined to be obsolete but is still 
        warranted to carry out the missions of the Department of the 
        Interior and the National Park Service, the cost of replacing 
        the unit.
            (6) Authorization for housing agreements.--For those units 
        of the National Park System for which the review required by 
        paragraphs (3) and (5) has been completed, the Secretary is 
        authorized, pursuant to the authorities contained in this 
        subsection and subject to the appropriation of necessary funds 
        in advance, to enter into housing agreements with housing 
        entities under which such housing entities may develop, 
        construct, rehabilitate, or manage housing, located on or off 
        public lands, for rent or lease to National Park Service 
        employees who meet the housing eligibility criteria developed 
        by the Secretary pursuant to this Act.
            (7) Joint public-private sector housing programs.--
                    (A) Lease to build program.--Subject to the 
                appropriation of necessary funds in advance, the 
                Secretary may--
                            (i) lease Federal land and interests in

                deems necessary or appropriate to protect the interests

                of the national park system for use as seasonal 
                quarters for field employees. The rent charged to field 
                employees under such a lease shall be a rate based on

                requirements applicable under section 5911 of title 5, 
                United States Code.
                    (B) Limitation.--The Secretary may only issue a 
                lease under subparagraph (A) if the Secretary finds 
                that there is a shortage of adequate and affordable 
                seasonal quarters at or near such unit and that--
                            (i) the requirement for such seasonal field 
                        employee quarters is temporary; or
                            (ii) leasing would be more cost effective 
                        than construction of new seasonal field 
                        employee quarters.
                    (C) Unrecovered costs.--The Secretary may pay the

                    (A) complete a condition assessment for all field 
                employee housing, including the physical condition of 
                such housing and the necessity and suitability of such 
                housing for carrying out the agency mission, using 
                existing information; and
                    (B) develop an agency-wide priority listing, by 
                structure, identifying those units in greatest need for 
repair, rehabilitation, replacement, or initial construction.
            (13) Use of housing-related funds.--Expenditure of any 
        funds authorized and appropriated for new construction, repair, 
        or rehabilitation of housing under this section shall follow

        paragraph (13), in sequential order, to the maximum extent 
        practicable.
            (14) Annual budget submittal.--The President's proposed 
        budget to Congress for the first fiscal year beginning after 
        enactment of this Act, and for each subsequent fiscal year, 
        shall include identification of nonconstruction funds to be 
        spent for National Park Service housing maintenance and 
        operations which are in addition to rental receipts collected.
            (15) Study of housing allowances.--Within 12 months after 
        the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall conduct 
        a study to determine the feasibility of providing eligible 
        employees of the National Park Service with housing allowances 
        rather than Government housing. The study shall specifically 
        examine the feasibility of providing rental allowances to 
        temporary and lower paid permanent employees. Whenever the 
        Secretary submits a copy of such study to the Office of 
        Management and Budget, he shall concurrently transmit copies of 
        the report to the Resources Committee of the United States 
        House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and 
        Natural Resources of the United States Senate.
            (16) Study of sale of employee housing.--Within 18 months 
        of the date of the enactment of the Act, the Secretary shall

        examine the potential benefits to the Government as well as the 
        employees and any risks associated with such a program.

                Secretary may not utilize any lands for the purposes of 
                providing field employee housing under this section 
                which will impact primary resource values of the area 
                or adversely affect the mission of the agency.
                    (B) Rental rates.--To the extent practicable, the 
                Secretary shall establish rental rates for all quarters 
                occupied by field employees of the National Park 
                Service that are based on the reasonable value of the 
                quarters in accordance with requirements applicable 
                under section 5911 of title 5, United States Code.
                    (C) Exemption from leasing requirements.--The

        of seasonal quarters under subsection (l), shall be retained by 
        the National Park Service. Such proceeds shall be deposited

and cooperate with the Umpqua Land Exchange Project (ULEP), affected 
units and agencies of State and local government, and, as appropriate, 
the World Forestry Center and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, to 
assist ULEP's ongoing efforts in studying and analyzing land exchange 
opportunities in the Umpqua River basin and to provide scientific, 
technical, research, mapping and other assistance and information to 
such entities. Such consultation, coordination and cooperation shall at 
a minimum include, but not be limited to--
            (1) working with ULEP to develop or assemble comprehensive 
        scientific and other information (including comprehensive and 
        integrated mapping) concerning the Umpqua River basin's 
        resources of forest, plants, wildlife, fisheries (anadromous 
        and other), recreational opportunities, wetlands, riparian 
        habitat and other physical or natural resources;
            (2) working with ULEP to identify general or specific areas 
        within the basin where land exchanges could promote 
        consolidation of forestland ownership for long-term, sustained 
        timber production; protection and restoration of habitat for 
        plants, fish and wildlife (including any federally listed 
        threatened or endangered species); protection of drinking water 
        supplies; recovery of threatened and endangered species; 
        protection and restoration of wetlands, riparian lands and 
        other environmentally sensitive areas; consolidation of land 
        ownership for improved public access and a broad array of 
        recreational uses; and consolidation of land ownership to 
        achieve management efficiency and reduced costs of 
        administration; and
            (3) developing a joint report for submission to the 
        Congress which discusses land exchange opportunities in the 
        basin and outlines either a specific land exchange proposal or 
        proposals which may merit consideration by the Secretaries or 
        the Congress, or ideas and recommendations for new 
        authorizations, direction, or changes in existing law or policy 
        to expedite and facilitate the consummation of beneficial land 
        exchanges in the basin via administrative means.

opportunities with ULEP, the Secretaries shall give priority to 
assisting ULEP's ongoing efforts in:
            (1) studying, identifying, and mapping areas where the 
        consolidation of land ownership via land exchanges could 
promote the goals of long term species and watershed protection and 
utilization, including but not limited to the goals of the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973 more effectively than current land ownership 
patterns and whether any changes in law or policy applicable to such 
lands after consummation of an exchange would be advisable or necessary 
to achieve such goals;
            (2) studying, identifying and mapping areas where land 
        exchanges might be utilized to better satisfy the goals of 
        sustainable timber harvest, including studying whether changes 
        in existing law or policy applicable to such lands after 
        consummation of an exchange would be advisable or necessary to 
        achieve such goals;
            (3) identifying issues and studying options and 
        alternatives, including possible changes in existing law or 
        policy, to ensure that combined post-exchange revenues to units 
        of local government from State and local property, severance 
        and other taxes or levies and shared Federal land receipts will 
        approximate pre-exchange revenues;
            (4) identifying issues and studying whether possible 
        changes in law, special appraisal instruction, or changes in 
        certain Federal appraisal procedures might be advisable or 
        necessary to facilitate the appraisal of potential exchange 
        lands which may have special characteristics or restrictions 
        affecting land values;
            (5) identifying issues and studying options and 
        alternatives, including changes in existing laws or policy, for 
        achieving land exchanges without reducing the net supply of 
        timber available to small businesses;
            (6) identifying, mapping, and recommending potential 
        changes in land use plans, land classifications, or other 
        actions which might be advisable or necessary to expedite, 
        facilitate or consummate land exchanges in certain areas;
            (7) analyzing potential sources for new or enhanced 
        Federal, State, or other funding to promote improved resource 
        protection, species recovery, and management in the basin; and
            (8) identifying and analyzing whether increased efficiency 
        and better land and resource management could occur through 
        either consolidation of Federal forest management under one 
        agency or exchange of lands between the Forest Service and 
        Bureau of Land Management.
    (c) Report to Congress.--No later than February 1, 1998, ULEP and 
the Secretaries shall submit a joint report to the Committee on

            (6) the transformation of the agrarian economy of the area 
        into an early industrial economy was precipitated by the 
        development and use of the Augusta Canal;
            (7) several significant sites associated with the American 
        Revolution, the Civil War, Native Americans, Colonial 
        Americans, African Americans, Chinese Americans, and Irish 
        Americans are located within the Augusta Canal area;
            (8) despite the efforts by the State of Georgia, political 
        subdivisions of the State, volunteer organizations, and private 
        businesses, the cultural, historical, natural, and recreational 
        resources of the area have not realized full potential and may 
        be lost without assistance from the Federal Government;
            (9) the Secretary of the Interior considers this landmark 
        to be threatened and has designated it a priority for 
        protection;
            (10) many local, regional, and State agencies, businesses, 
        and private citizens have expressed an overwhelming desire to 
        combine forces to work cooperatively to preserve and enhance 
        the resources of the Augusta Canal National Historic Landmark 
        and better plan for its future; and
            (11) the Augusta Canal Authority, a public body established 
        under the law of the State of Georgia, would be an appropriate 
        management entity for a National Heritage Area established in 
        the area of the Augusta Canal.

               TITLE IV--STEEL INDUSTRY HERITAGE PROJECT

SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Steel Industry American Heritage 
Area Act of 1996''.

SEC. 402. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) the industrial and cultural heritage of southwestern 
        Pennsylvania, including the city of Pittsburgh, and the 
        counties of Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, 
        Washington, and Westmoreland, related directly to steel and 
        steel-related industries, is nationally significant;
            (2) these industries include steelmaking, ironmaking, 
        aluminum, specialty metals, glass, coal mining, coke 
        production, machining and foundries, transportation, and 
        electrical industries;
            (3) the industrial and cultural heritage of the steel and 
        related industries in this region includes the social history 
        and living cultural traditions of the people of the region;
            (4) the labor movement of the region played a significant 
        role in the development of the Nation, including the formation 
        of many key unions such as the Congress of Industrial 
        Organizations (CIO) and the United Steel Workers of America 
        (USWA), and crucial struggles to improve wages and working 
        conditions, such as the Rail Strike of 1877, the Homestead 
        Strike of 1892, and the Great Steel Strike of 1919;
            (5) the Department of the Interior is responsible for 
        protecting the Nation's cultural and historic resources, and 
        there are significant examples of these resources within this 
        seven-county region to merit the involvement of the Federal 
        Government to develop programs and projects, in cooperation 
        with the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation, the Commonwealth 
        of Pennsylvania, and other local and governmental bodies, to 
        adequately conserve, protect, and interpret this heritage for 
        future generations, while providing opportunities for education 
        and revitalization; and
            (6) the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation would be an 
        appropriate management entity for a Heritage Area established 
        in the region.
    (b) Statement of Purpose.--The objectives of the Steel Industry 
American Heritage Area are--
            (1) to foster a close working relationship with all levels 
        of government, the private sector, and the local communities in 
        the steel industry region of southwestern Pennsylvania and 
        empower the communities to conserve their heritage while 
        continuing to pursue economic opportunities; and
            (2) to conserve, interpret, and develop the historical, 
        cultural, natural, and recreational resources related to the 
        industrial and cultural heritage of the seven-county region of 
        southwestern Pennsylvania.

SEC. 701. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) The Congress finds that--
            (1) the city of Waterloo, Iowa, and northeast Iowa posses 
        many important elements of the nationally significant story of 
        American agriculture, including Native American agriculture, 
        agricultural mechanization, seed hybridization, farm 
        cooperative movements, rural electrification, farm-to-market 
        systems, rural to urban migration, veterinary practice, food 
        processing and preservation, national farm organizations, 
        international hunger relief, and the development of national 
        and international agribusiness;
            (2) these resources offer outstanding and unique 
        opportunities to acknowledge and appreciate the development of 
        American agriculture;
            (3) the National Park Service has determined that the story 
        of American agriculture is nationally significant, that 
        northeast Iowa is an ideal place to tell that story, and that 
        this story could be divided into 4 principal topics for 
        interpretation in northeast Iowa: the Amazing Science of 
        Agriculture, Agriculture as a Way of Life, Organizing for 
        Survival, and Crops from Field to Table;
            (4) the responsibility for interpreting, retaining, 
        enhancing, and promoting the resources, values, and amenities 
        of Waterloo, Iowa, and northeast Iowa resides with volunteer 
        associations, private businesses, political subdivisions of the 
        State, and the State of Iowa; and
            (5) despite the efforts by volunteer associations, private 
        businesses, political subdivisions of the State, and the State 
        of Iowa, the cultural and historical resources of the area have 
        not realized full potential and may be lost without some 
        assistance from the Federal Government.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to interpret, retain, enhance, and promote the unique 
        and significant contributions to national and international 
        agriculture of certain natural, historic, and cultural 
        resources within Waterloo, Iowa, and northeast Iowa;
            (2) to provide a partnership management framework to assist 
        volunteer associations, private businesses, political 
        subdivisions of the State, and the State of Iowa in developing 
        and implementing Management Plan policies and programs that 
        will assist in the interpretation, retention, enhancement, and 
        promotion of the cultural, natural, and recreational resources 
        of northeast Iowa;
            (3) to allow for local, State, and Federal contributions 
        through limited grants and technical assistance to create 
        America's Agricultural Heritage Partnership through cooperative 
        agreements among volunteer associations, private businesses, 
        political subdivisions of the State, the State of Iowa, and 
        residents of the area; and
            (4) to provide for an economically self-sustaining 
        Partnership for the educational and inspirational benefit of 
        current and future generations concerning the story of American 
        agriculture.

        TITLE VIII--OHIO & ERIE CANAL NATIONAL HERITAGE CORRIDOR

SEC. 801. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Ohio & Erie Canal National 
Heritage Corridor Act of 1996''.

SEC. 802. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Ohio & Erie Canal, which opened for commercial 
        navigation in 1832, was the first inland waterway to connect 
        the Great Lakes at Lake Erie with the Gulf of Mexico via the 
        Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and a part of a canal network in 
        Ohio that was one of America's most extensive and successful 
        systems during a period in history when canals were essential 
        to the Nation's growth.
            (2) The Ohio & Erie Canal spurred economic growth in the 
        State of Ohio that took the State from near bankruptcy to the 
        third most economically prosperous State in the Union in just 
        20 years.
            (3) A 4-mile section of the Ohio & Erie Canal was 
        designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966 and other 
        portions of the Ohio & Erie Canal and many associated 
        structures were placed on the National Register of Historic 
        Places.
            (4) In 1974, 19 miles of the Ohio & Erie Canal were 
        declared nationally significant under National Park Service new 
        area criteria with the designation of Cuyahoga Valley National 
        Recreation Area.
            (5) The National Park Service found the Ohio & Erie Canal 
        nationally significant in a 1975 study entitled ``Suitability/
        Feasibility Study, Proposed Ohio & Erie Canal''.
            (6) A 1993 Special Resources Study of the Ohio & Erie Canal 
        Corridor conducted by the National Park Service entitled ``A 
        Route to Prosperity'' has concluded that the corridor is 
        eligible as a National Heritage Corridor.
            (7) Local governments, the State of Ohio, and private 
        sector interests have embraced the heritage corridor concept 
        and desire to enter into partnership with the Federal 
        Government to preserve, protect, and develop the corridor for 
        public benefit.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to preserve and interpret for the educational and 
        inspirational benefit of present and future generations the 
        unique and significant contributions to our national heritage 
        of certain historic and cultural lands, waterways, and 
        structures within the 87-mile Ohio & Erie Canal Corridor 
        between Cleveland and Zoar;
            (2) to encourage within the corridor a broad range of 
        economic opportunities enhancing the quality of life for 
        present and future generations;
            (3) to provide a management framework to assist the State 
        of Ohio, its political subdivisions, and nonprofit 
        organizations, or combinations thereof, in preparing and 
        implementing an integrated Corridor Management Plan and in 
        developing policies and programs that will preserve, enhance, 
        and interpret the cultural, historical, natural, recreation, 
        and scenic resources of the corridor; and
            (4) to authorize the Secretary to provide financial and 
        technical assistance to the State of Ohio, its political 
        subdivisions, and nonprofit organizations, or combinations 
        thereof, in preparing and implementing a Corridor Management 
        Plan.

        movements in American art and architecture through the work of 
        Andrew Jackson Downing, Alexander Jackson Davis, Thomas Cole,

        recognition of the esthetic value of the landscape and the 
        development of an American esthetic ideal.
            (4) The Hudson River Valley played an important role in the 
        development of the iron, textile, and collar and cuff 
        industries in the 19th century, exemplified in surviving 
        structures such as the Harmony Mills complex at Cohoes, and in 
        the development of early men's and women's labor and

        evidence of these traditions and the traditions of other more 
        recent ethnic and social groups.
