rata share of funds to reimburse the Bureau for the use of the real and 
personal property (including buses and vans), the funds of the charter 
school are kept separate and apart from Bureau funds, and the Bureau

charter school and performing functions related to the charter school's

or to carry out and administer projects to improve forest health 
conditions, which may include the repair or reconstruction of roads, 
bridges, and trails on National Forest System lands in the wildland-
community interface where there is an abnormally high risk of fire. The 
projects shall emphasize reducing risks to human safety and public 
health and property and enhancing ecological functions, long-term 
forest productivity, and biological integrity. The Secretary shall 
commence the projects during fiscal year 2001, but the projects may be

    Sec. 329. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised if the 
indicated rate is deficit when appraised under the transaction evidence 
appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for western red cedar: 
Provided, That sales which are deficit when appraised under the 
transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for 
western red cedar may be advertised upon receipt of a written request 
by a prospective, informed bidder, who has the opportunity to review 
the Forest Service's cruise and harvest cost estimate for that timber. 
Program accomplishments shall be based on volume sold. Should Region 10 
sell, in fiscal year 2001, the annual average portion of the decadal 
allowable sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land 
Management Plan in sales which are not deficit when appraised under the 
transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for 
western red cedar, 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 at prevailing domestic prices. Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal 
year 2001, less than the annual average portion of the decadal 
allowable sale quantity called for in the current Tongass Land 
Management Plan in sales which are not deficit when appraised under the 
transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska values for 
western red cedar, the volume of western red cedar timber available to 
domestic processors at prevailing domestic prices in the contiguous 48 
United States shall be that volume: (1) which is surplus to the needs 
of domestic processors in Alaska; and (2) 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 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. 330. None of the funds appropriated by this Act shall be used 
to propose or issue rules, regulations, decrees, or orders for the 
purpose of implementation, or in preparation for implementation, of the

at the Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework 
Convention on Climate Change, which has not been submitted to the 
Senate for advice and consent to ratification pursuant to article II, 
section 2, clause 2, of the United States Constitution, and which has 
not entered into force pursuant to article 25 of the Protocol.
    Sec. 331. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the 
funds in this Act may be used to enter into any new or expanded self-
determination contract or grant or self-governance compact pursuant to 
the Indian Self-Determination Act of 1975, as amended, for any 
activities not previously covered by such contracts, compacts or 
grants. Nothing in this section precludes the continuation of those 
specific activities for which self-determination and self-governance 
contracts, compacts and grants currently exist or the renewal of 
contracts, compacts and grants for those activities or compliance with 
25 U.S.C. 2005.
    Sec. 332. In fiscal years 2001 through 2005, the Secretaries of the 
Interior and Agriculture may pilot test joint permitting and leasing 
programs, subject to annual review of Congress, and promulgate special 
rules as needed to test the feasibility of issuing unified permits, 
applications, and leases. The Secretaries of the Interior and 
Agriculture may make reciprocal delegations of their respective 
authorities, duties and responsibilities in support of the ``Service 
First'' initiative to promote customer service and efficiency. Nothing 
herein shall alter, expand or limit the applicability of any public law 
or regulation to lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management or 
the Forest Service.
    Sec. 333. Federal and State Cooperative Watershed Restoration and 
Protection in Colorado. (a) Use of Colorado State Forest Service.--
Until September 30, 2004, the Secretary of Agriculture, via cooperative 
agreement or contract (including sole source contract) as appropriate, 
may permit the Colorado State Forest Service to perform watershed 
restoration and protection services on National Forest System lands in 
the State of Colorado when similar and complementary watershed 
restoration and protection services are being performed by the State 
Forest Service on adjacent State or private lands. The types of 
services that may be extended to National Forest System lands include 
treatment of insect infected trees, reduction of hazardous fuels, and 
other activities to restore or improve watersheds or fish and wildlife 
habitat across ownership boundaries.
    (b) State as Agent.--Except as provided in subsection (c), a 
cooperative agreement or contract under subsection (a) may authorize 
the State Forester of Colorado to serve as the agent for the Forest 
Service in providing all services necessary to facilitate the 
performance of watershed restoration and protection services under 
subsection (a). The services to be performed by the Colorado State 
Forest Service may be conducted with subcontracts utilizing State 
contract procedures. Subsections (d) and (g) of section 14 of the 
National Forest Management Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 472a) shall not apply 
to services performed under a cooperative agreement or contract under 
subsection (a).
    (c) Retention of NEPA Responsibilities.--With respect to any 
watershed restoration and protection services on National Forest System 
lands proposed for performance by the Colorado State Forest Service 
under subsection (a), any decision required to be made under the 
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) may 
not be delegated to the State Forester of Colorado or any other officer 
or employee of the Colorado State Forest Service.
    Sec. 334. None of the funds made available under this Act may be 
used to issue a record of decision or any policy implementing the 
Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project not prepared 
pursuant to law as set forth in chapter 6 of title 5, United States 
Code.

funded by this Act, shall be expended for the purposes of design, 
planning or management of Federal Lands as National Monuments that are 
designated as National Monuments under the 1906 Antiquities Act, since 
1999.
