    (b) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) September 2, 1997, marked the 52nd anniversary of the 
        United States victory over Japan in World War II.
            (2) The Battle of Midway proved to be the turning point in 
        the war in the Pacific, as United States Navy forces inflicted 
        such severe losses on the Imperial Japanese Navy during the 
        battle that the Imperial Japanese Navy never again took the 
        offensive against the United States or the allied forces.
            (3) During the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942, an 
        outnumbered force of the United States Navy, consisting of 29 
        ships and other units of the Armed Forces under the command of 
        Admiral Nimitz and Admiral Spruance, out-maneuvered and out-
        fought 350 ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
            (4) It is in the public interest to study whether Midway 
        Atoll should be established as a national memorial to the 
        Battle of Midway to express the enduring gratitude of the 
        American people for victory in the battle and to inspire future 
        generations of Americans with the heroism and sacrifice of the 
        members of the Armed Forces who achieved that victory.
            (5) The historic structures and facilities on Midway Atoll 
        should be protected and maintained.
    (c) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to require a study of the 
feasibility and suitability of designating the Midway Atoll as a 
National Memorial to the Battle of Midway within the boundaries of the 
Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The study of the Midway Atoll 
and its environs shall include, but not be limited to, identification 
of interpretative opportunities for the educational and inspirational 
benefit of present and future generations, and of the unique and 
significant circumstances involving the defense of the island by the 
United States in World War II and the Battle of Midway.
    (d) Study of the Establishment of Midway Atoll as a National 
Memorial to the Battle of Midway.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than six months after the date 
        of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall, 
        acting through the Director of the National Park Service and in 
        consultation with the Director of the United States Fish and 
        Wildlife Service, the International Midway Memorial Foundation, 
        Inc. (hereafter referred to as the ``Foundation''), and Midway 
        Phoenix Corporation, carry out a study of the suitability and 
        feasibility of establishing Midway Atoll as a national memorial 
        to the Battle of Midway.
            (2)Considerations.--In studying the establishment of Midway 
        Atoll as a national memorial to the Battle of Midway under 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall address the following:
                    (A) The appropriate federal agency to manage such a 
                memorial, and whether and under what conditions, to 
                lease or otherwise allow the Foundation or another 
                appropriate entity to administer, maintain, and fully 
                utilize the lands (including any equipment, facilities, 
                infrastructure, and other improvements) and waters of 
                Midway Atoll if designated as a national memorial.
                    (B) Whether designation as a national memorial 
                would conflict with current management of Midway Atoll 
                as a wildlife refuge and whether, and under what 
                circumstances, the needs and requirements of the 
                wildlife refuge should take precedence over the needs 
                and requirements of a national memorial on Midway 
                Atoll.
                    (C) Whether, and under what conditions, to permit 
                the use of the facilities on Sand Island for purposes 
                other than a wildlife refuge or a national memorial.
                    (D) Whether to impose conditions on public access 
                to Midway Atoll as a national memorial.
            (3) Report.--Upon completion of the study required under 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall submit, to the Committee on 
        Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate and 
        the Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives, a 
        report on the study, which shall include any recommendations 
        for further legislative action. The report shall also include 
        an inventory of all known past and present facilities and 
        structures of historical significance on Midway Atoll and its 
        environs. The report shall include a description of each 
        historic facility and structure and a discussion of how each 
        will contribute to the designation and interpretation of the 
        proposed national memorial.
    (e) Continuing Discussions.--Nothing in this Act shall be construed 
to delay or prohibit discussions between the Foundation and the United 
States Fish and Wildlife Service or any other government entity 
regarding the future role of the Foundation on Midway Atoll.

    Sec. 327. No timber in Region 10 of the Forest Service shall be 
advertised for sale which, when using domestic Alaska western red cedar 
selling values and manufacturing costs, fails to provide at least 60 
percent of normal profit and risk of the appraised timber, except at 
the written request by a prospective bidder. Program accomplishments 
shall be based on volume sold. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal year 
2000, the annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity 
called for in the current Tongass Land Management Plan which provides 
greater than 60 percent of normal profit and risk at the time of the 
sale advertisement, all of the western red cedar timber from those 
sales which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska, 
shall be made available to domestic processors in the contiguous 48 
United States based on values in the Pacific Northwest as determined by 
the Forest Service and stated in the timber sale contract. Should 
Region 10 sell, in fiscal year 2000, less than the annual average 
portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the 
current Tongass Land Management Plan meeting the 60 percent of normal 
profit and risk standard at the time of sale advertisement, the volume 
of western red cedar timber available to domestic processors at rates 
specified in the timber sale contract in the contiguous 48 states shall 
be that volume: (i) which is surplus to the needs of domestic 
processors in Alaska; and (ii) is that percent of the surplus western 
red cedar volume determined by calculating the ratio of the total 
timber volume which has been sold on the Tongass to the annual average 
portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the 
current Tongass Land Management Plan. The percentage shall be 
calculated by Region 10 on a rolling basis as each sale is sold. (For 
purposes of this amendment, a ``rolling basis'' shall mean that the 
determination of how much western red cedar is eligible for sale to 
various markets shall be made at the time each sale is awarded.) 
Western red cedar shall be deemed ``surplus to the needs of domestic 
processors in Alaska'' when the timber sale holder has presented to the 
Forest Service documentation of the inability to sell western red cedar 
logs from a given sale to domestic Alaska processors at a price equal 
to or greater than the log selling value stated in the contract. All 
additional western red cedar volume not sold to Alaska or contiguous 48 
United States domestic processors may be exported to foreign markets at 
the election of the timber sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be 
sold at prevailing export prices at the election of the timber sale 
holder.
    Sec. 328. For fiscal year 2000, the Secretary of Agriculture, with 
respect to lands within the National Forest System, and the Secretary 
of the Interior, with respect to lands under the jurisdiction of the 
Bureau of Land Management, shall use the best available scientific and 
commercial data in amending or revising resource management plans for, 
and offering sales, issuing leases, or otherwise authorizing or 
undertaking management activities on, lands under their respective 
jurisdictions: Provided, That the Secretaries may at their discretion 
determine whether any additional information concerning wildlife 
resources shall be collected prior to approving any such plan, sale, 
lease or other activity, and, if so, the type of, and collection 
procedures for, such information.

        1596-7);
            (b) make the report available for public comment for a 
        period of not less than 120 days; and
            (c) include the information contained in the report and a 
        detailed response or responses to any such public comment in 
        any final environmental impact statement associated with the 
        Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Project.
    Sec. 330. Section 7 of the Service Contract Act (SCA), 41 U.S.C. 
section 356 is amended by adding the following paragraph:
            ``(8) any concession contract with Federal land management 
        agencies, the principal purpose of which is the provision of 
        recreational services to the general public, including lodging, 
        campgrounds, food, stores, guiding, recreational equipment, 
        fuel, transportation, and skiing, provided that this exemption

Secretary of Agriculture shall establish appraisal methods and bidding 
procedures to ensure that the amounts collected for special forest 
products are not less than fair market value.
    (c) Fees.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall charge

            (2) Security.--The Secretary of Agriculture may require a 
        person that is assessed a fee under this subsection to provide 
        security to ensure that the Secretary of Agriculture receives

    Sec. 337. No federal monies appropriated for the purchase of land 
by the Forest Service in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area 
(``CRGNSA'') may be used unless the Forest Service complies with the 
acquisition protocol set out in this section:
            (a) Purchase Option Requirement.--Upon the Forest Service 
        making a determination that the agency intends to pursue 
        purchase of land or an interest in land located within the 
        boundaries of the CRGNSA, the Forest Service and the owner of 
        the land or interest in land to be purchased shall enter into a 
        written purchase option agreement in which the landowner agrees 
        to retain ownership of the interest in land to be acquired for 
        a period not to exceed one year. In return, the Forest Service 
        shall agree to abide by the bargaining and arbitration process 
        set out in this section.
            (b) Opt Out.--After the Forest Service and landowner have 
        entered into the purchase option agreement, the landowner may 
        at any time prior to federal acquisition voluntarily opt out of 
        the purchase option agreement.
            (c) Selection of Appraisers.--Once the landowner and Forest 
        Service both have executed the required purchase option, the 
        landowner and Forest Service each shall select an appraiser to 
        appraise the land or interest in land described in the purchase 
        option. The landowner and Forest Service both shall instruct 
        their appraiser to estimate the fair market value of the land 
        or interest in land to be acquired. The landowner and Forest 
        Service both shall instruct their appraiser to comply with the 
        Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions 
        (Interagency Land Acquisition Conference 1992) and Public Law 
        91-646 as amended. Both appraisers shall possess 
        qualifications consistent with state regulatory requirements 
        that meet the intent of Title XI, Financial Institutions 
        Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989.
            (d) Period to Complete Appraisals.--The landowner and 
        Forest Service each shall be allowed a period of 180 days to 
        provide to the other an appraisal of the land or interest in 
        land described in the purchase option. This 180-day period 
        shall commence upon execution of a purchase option by the 
        landowner and the Forest Service.
            (e) Bargaining Period.--Once the landowner and Forest 
        Service each have provided to the other a completed appraisal, 
        a 45-day period of good faith bargaining and negotiation shall 
        commence. If the landowner and Forest Service cannot agree 
        within this period on the proper purchase price to be paid by 
        the United States for the land or interest in land described in 
        the purchase option, the landowner may request arbitration 
        under subsection (f) of this section.
            (f) Arbitration Process.--If a landowner and the Forest 
        Service are unable to reach a negotiated settlement on value 
        within the 45-day period of good faith bargaining and 
        negotiation, during the 10 days following this period of good 
        faith bargaining and negotiation the landowner may request 
        arbitration. The process for arbitration shall commence with 
        each party submitting its appraisal and a copy of this 
        legislation, and only its appraisal and a copy of this 
        legislation, to the arbitration panel within 10 days following 
        the receipt by the Forest Service of the request for 
        arbitration. The arbitration panel shall render a written 
        advisory decision on value within 45 days of receipt of both 
        appraisals. This advisory decision shall be forwarded to the 
        Secretary of Agriculture by the arbitration panel with a 
        recommendation to the Secretary that if the land or interest in 
        land at issue is to be purchased that the United States pay a 
        sum certain for the land or interest in land. This sum certain 
        shall fall within the value range established by the two 
        appraisals. Costs of employing the arbitration panel shall be 
        divided equally between the Forest Service and the landowner, 
        unless the arbitration panel recommends either the landowner or 
        the Forest Service bear the entire cost of employing the 
        arbitration panel. The arbitration panel shall not make such a 
        recommendation unless the panel finds that one of the 
        appraisals submitted fails to conform to the Uniform Appraisal 
        Standard for Federal Land Acquisition (Interagency Land 
        Acquisition Conference 1992). In no event, shall the cost of 
        employing the arbitration panel exceed $10,000.
            (g) Arbitration Panel.--The arbitration panel shall consist 
        of one appraiser and two lawyers who have substantial 
        experience working with the purchase of land and interests in 
        land by the United States. The Secretary is directed to ask the 
        Federal Center for Dispute Resolution at the American 
        Arbitration Association to develop lists of no less than ten 
        appraisers and twenty lawyers who possess substantial 
        experience working with federal land purchases to serve as 
        third-party neutrals in the event arbitration is requested by a 
        landowner. Selection of the arbitration panel shall be made by 
        mutual agreement of the Forest Service and landowner. If mutual 
        agreement cannot be reached on one or more panel members, 
        selection of the remaining panel members shall be by blind draw 
        once each party has been allowed the opportunity to strike up 
        to 25 percent of the third-party neutrals named on either list. 
        Of the funds available to the Forest Service, up to $15,000 
        shall be available to the Federal Center for Dispute Resolution 
        to cover the initial cost of establishing this program. Once 
        established, costs of administering the program shall be borne 
        by the Forest Service, but shall not exceed $5,000 a year.
            (h) Qualifications of Third-Party Neutrals.--Each appraiser 
        selected by the Federal Dispute Resolution Center, in addition 
        to possessing substantial experience working with federal land 
        purchases, shall possess qualifications consistent with state 
        regulatory requirements that meet the intent of Title XI, 
        Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery & Enforcement Act of 
        1989. Each lawyer selected by the Federal Dispute Resolution 
        Center, in addition to possessing substantial experience 
        working with federal land purchases, shall be an active member 
        in good standing of the bar of one of the 50 states or the 
        District of Columbia.
            (i) Decision Required by the Secretary of Agriculture.--
        Upon receipt of a recommendation by an arbitration panel 
        appointed under subsection (g), the Secretary of Agriculture 
        shall notify the landowner and the CRGNSA of the day the 
        recommendation was received. The Secretary shall make a 
        determination to adopt or reject the arbitration panel's 
        advisory decision and notify the landowner and the CRGNSA of 
        this determination within 45 days of receipt of the advisory 
        decision.
            (j)Admissability.--Neither the fact that arbitration 
        pursuant to this act has occurred nor the recommendation of the 
        arbitration panel shall be admissible in any court or 
        administrative proceeding.
            (k) Expiration Date.--This act shall expire on October 1, 
        2002.
    Sec. 338. A project undertaken by the Forest Service under the 
Recreation Fee Demonstration Program as authorized by Section 315 of 
the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 
for Fiscal Year 1996, as amended, shall not result in--
            (1) displacement of the holder of an authorization to 
        provide commercial recreation services on Federal lands. Prior 
        to initiating any project, the Secretary shall consult with 
        potentially affected holders to determine what impacts the 
        project may have on the holders. Any modifications to the 
        authorization shall be made within the terms and conditions of 
        the authorization and authorities of the impacted agency.
            (2) the return of a commercial recreation service to the 
        Secretary for operation when such services have been provided 
        in the past by a private sector provider, except when--
                    (A) the private sector provider fails to bid on 
                such opportunities,
                    (B) the private sector provider terminates its 
                relationship with the agency, or,
                    (C) the agency revokes the permit for non-
                compliance with the terms and conditions of the 
                authorization.
In such cases, the agency may use the Recreation Fee Demonstration 
Program to provide for operations until a subsequent operator can be 
found through the offering of a new prospectus.
