         TITLE III--NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE SYSTEM CENTENNIAL

SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``National Wildlife Refuge System 
Centennial Act''.

SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
        (1) President Theodore Roosevelt began the National Wildlife 
    Refuge System by establishing the first refuge at Pelican Island, 
    Florida, on March 14, 1903;
        (2) the National Wildlife Refuge System is comprised of more 
    than 93,000,000 acres of Federal land managed by the United States 
    Fish and Wildlife Service in more than 532 individual refuges and 
    thousands of waterfowl production areas located in all 50 States 
    and the territories of the United States;
        (3) the System is the only network of Federal land dedicated 
    singularly to wildlife conservation and where wildlife-dependent 
    recreation and environmental education are priority public uses;
        (4) the System serves a vital role in the conservation of 
    millions of migratory birds, dozens of endangered species and 
    threatened species, some of the premier fisheries of the United 
    States, marine mammals, and the habitats on which such species of 
    fish and wildlife depend;
        (5) each year the System provides millions of Americans with 
    opportunities to participate in wildlife-dependent recreation, 
    including hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation;
        (6)(A) public visitation to national wildlife refuges is 
    growing, with more than 35,000,000 visitors annually; and
        (B) it is essential that visitor centers and public use 
    facilities be properly constructed, operated, and maintained;
        (7) the National Wildlife Refuge System Volunteer and Community 
    Partnership Enhancement Act of 1998 (16 U.S.C. 742f note; Public 
    Law 105-242), and the amendments made by that Act, significantly 
    enhance the ability of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service 
    to incorporate volunteers and partnerships in refuge management;
        (8) as of the date of the enactment of this Act, the System has 
    an unacceptable backlog of critical operation and maintenance 
    needs; and
        (9) the occasion of the centennial of the System, in 2003, 
    presents a historic opportunity to enhance natural resource 
    stewardship and expand public enjoyment of the national wildlife 
    refuges of the United States.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
        (1) to establish a commission to promote awareness by the 
    public of the National Wildlife Refuge System as the System 
    celebrates its centennial in 2003;
        (2) to develop a long-term plan to meet the priority operation, 
    maintenance, and construction needs of the System;
        (3) to require an annual report on the needs of the System 
    prepared in the context of--
            (A) the budget submission of the Department of the Interior 
        to the President; and
            (B) the President's budget request to Congress; and
        (4) to improve public use programs and facilities of the System 
    to meet the increasing needs of the public for wildlife-dependent 
    recreation in the 21st century.
