        <DELETED>    (4) the Federal lands described in subsection

United States may acquire and exercise such water rights as it deems

portable electronic communication or tracking systems in support of 
military operations so long as installation, maintenance, and removal 
of such systems does not require construction of temporary or permanent 
roads.

SEC. 8. AIR QUALITY.

    (a) In General.--The Congress does not intend that designation of 
wilderness areas in the State of Utah by this Act lead to 
reclassification of any airshed to a more stringent Prevention of 
Significant Deterioration (PSD) classification.
    (b) Role of State.--Air quality reclassification for the wilderness 
areas established by this Act shall be the prerogative of the State of

(but not limited to) Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, 
Outstanding Natural Areas, National Natural Landmarks, Research Natural 
Areas, Primitive Areas, Visual Resource Management Class I areas, and

wilderness study areas which are under study status by States adjacent

        trust lands are located within or adjacent to areas designated 
        as wilderness by this Act, including 15,000 acres of mineral

            (2) such lands were originally granted to the State of Utah

        this purpose.
    (b) Exchange.--If, not later than seven years after the date of the 
enactment of this Act and in accordance with this section, the State of 
Utah offers to transfer all its right, title, and interest in and to 
the school and institutional trust lands described in subsection (c)(1)

180 days after the date of such acceptance, in exchange for such lands 
initiate transfers to the State of Utah of all right, title, and 
interest of the United States in and to the Federal lands described in

to) the right of the State of Utah to receive, and distribute pursuant 
to State law, 50 percent of the revenue, less a reasonable 
administrative fee, from the production of minerals that are leased or
