                                 AN ACT


 
   To deem the activities of the Miccosukee Tribe on the Miccosukee 
  Reserved Area to be consistent with the purposes of the Everglades 
                 National Park, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Miccosukee Reserved Area Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since 1964, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida 
        have lived and governed their own affairs on a strip of land on 
        the northern edge of the Everglades National Park pursuant to 
        permits from the National Park Service and other legal 
        authority. The current permit expires in 2014.
            (2) Since the commencement of the Tribe's permitted use and 
        occupancy of the Special Use Permit Area, the Tribe's 
        membership has grown, as have the needs and desires of the 
        Tribe and its members for modern housing, governmental and 
        administrative facilities, schools and cultural amenities, and 
        related structures.
            (3) The United States, the State of Florida, the Miccosukee 
        Tribe, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida are participating in a 
        major intergovernmental effort to restore the South Florida 
        ecosystem, including the restoration of the environment of the 
        Park.
            (4) The Special Use Permit Area is located within the 
        northern boundary of the Park, which is critical to the 
        protection and restoration of the Everglades, as well as to the 
        cultural values of the Miccosukee Tribe.
            (5) The interests of both the Miccosukee Tribe and the 
        United States would be enhanced by a further delineation of the 
        rights and obligations of each with respect to the Special Use 
        Permit Area and to the Park as a whole.
            (6) The amount and location of land allocated to the Tribe 
        fulfills the purposes of the Park.
            (7) The use of the Miccosukee Reserved Area by the 
        Miccosukee Tribe does not constitute an abandonment of the 
        Park.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To replace the special use permit with a legal 
        framework under which the Tribe can live permanently and govern 
        the Tribe's own affairs in a modern community within the Park.
            (2) To protect the Park outside the boundaries of the 
        Miccosukee Reserved Area from adverse effects of structures or 
        activities within that area, and to support restoration of the 
        South Florida ecosystem, including restoring the environment of 
        the Park.

                        standards within the MRA that are at least as 
                        protective as the water quality standards for 
                        the area encompassed by Everglades National 
                        Park approved by the Administrator under the

                        the MRA under clause (i) that are more 
                        restrictive than the water quality standards 
                        adopted by the Tribe for contiguous reservation
