        $15,000,000, and in any such case, the allocation provisions of 
        this paragraph shall not apply and all such interest shall be

        subparagraph (A), up to the authorized limit of such program. 
        Interest shall cease to be available for obligation or

<DELETED>    (a) In General.--It is the intent of the Congress in this 
Act that States not use this Act as an opportunity to reduce State or 
local resources for the programs funded by this Act. Except as provided 
in subsection (b), no State or local government shall receive any funds

Federal funds for recurrent expenditures for programs for which funding 
is provided under this Act will be less than its expenditures were for 
such programs during the preceding fiscal year. No State or local 
government shall receive funding under this Act with respect to a 
program unless the Secretary is satisfied that such a grant will be so

of State, local, or other non-Federal funds available for such 
program.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Exception.--The Secretary may provide funding under 
this Act to a State or local government not meeting the requirements of

        expenditures for the programs of all executive branch agencies 
        of the State or local government; or</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) is a result of reductions in State or local

<DELETED>    (c) Use of Fund To Meet Matching Requirements.--All funds 
received by a State or local government under this Act shall be treated

 <DELETED>TITLE I--IMPACT ASSISTANCE AND COASTAL CONSERVATION</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 101. IMPACT ASSISTANCE FORMULA AND PAYMENTS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Impact Assistance Payments to States.--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) Grant program.--Amounts transferred to the 
        Secretary of the Interior from the Conservation and 
        Reinvestment Act Fund under section 5(b)(1) of this Act for 
        purposes of making payments to coastal States under this title 
        in any fiscal year shall be allocated by the Secretary of the 
        Interior among coastal States as provided in this section in 
        each such fiscal year. In each such fiscal year, the Secretary 
        of the Interior shall, without further appropriation, disburse 
        such allocated funds to those coastal States for which the 
        Secretary has approved a Coastal State Conservation and Impact 
        Assistance Plan as required by this title. Payments for all 
        projects shall be made by the Secretary to the Governor of the 
        State or to the State official or agency designated by the 
        Governor or by State law as having authority and responsibility 
        to accept and to administer funds paid hereunder. No payment 
        shall be made to any State until the State has agreed to 
        provide such reports to the Secretary, in such form and 
        containing such information, as may be reasonably necessary to 
        enable the Secretary to perform his duties under this title, 
        and provide such fiscal control and fund accounting procedures 
        as may be necessary to assure proper disbursement and 
        accounting for Federal revenues paid to the State under this 
        title.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Failure to have plan approved.--At the end of 
        each fiscal year, the Secretary shall return to the 
        Conservation and Reinvestment Act Fund any amount that the 
        Secretary allocated, but did not disburse, in that fiscal year 
        to a coastal State that does not have an approved plan under 
        this title before the end of the fiscal year in which such 
        grant is allocated, except that the Secretary shall hold in 
        escrow until the final resolution of the appeal any amount 
        allocated, but not disbursed, to a coastal State that has 
        appealed the disapproval of a plan submitted under this 
        title.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Allocation Among Coastal States.--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) Allocable share for each state.--For each 
        coastal State, the Secretary shall determine the State's 
        allocable share of the total amount of the revenues transferred 
        from the Fund under section 5(b)(1) for each fiscal year using 
        the following weighted formula:</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) Fifty percent of such revenues shall 
                be allocated among the coastal States as provided in 
                paragraph (2).</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) Twenty-five percent of such revenues 
                shall be allocated to each coastal State based on the 
                ratio of each State's shoreline miles to the shoreline 
                miles of all coastal States.</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) Twenty-five percent of such revenues 
                shall be allocated to each coastal State based on the 
                ratio of each State's coastal population to the coastal 
                population of all coastal States.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Offshore outer continental shelf share.--If 
        any portion of a producing State lies within a distance of 200 
        miles from the geographic center of any leased tract with 
        qualified Outer Continental Shelf revenues, the Secretary of 
        the Interior shall determine such State's allocable share under 
        paragraph (1)(A) based on the formula set forth in this 
        paragraph. Such State share shall be calculated as of the date 
        of the enactment of this Act. Each such State's allocable share 
        of the revenues disbursed under paragraph (1)(A) shall be based 
        on qualified Outer Continental Shelf revenues from each leased 
        tract or portion of a leased tract the geographic center of 
        which is within a distance (to the nearest whole mile) of 200 
        miles from the coastline of the State and shall be inversely 
        proportional to the distance between the nearest point on the 
        coastline of such State and the geographic center of each such 
        leased tract or portion, as determined by the Secretary. In 
        applying this paragraph a leased tract or portion of a leased 
        tract shall be excluded if the tract or portion is located in a 
        geographic area subject to a leasing moratorium on January 1, 
        1999, unless the lease was issued prior to the establishment of 
        the moratorium and was in production on January 1, 
        1999.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) Minimum state share.--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) In general.--The allocable share of 
                revenues determined by the Secretary under this 
                subsection for each coastal State with an approved 
                coastal management program (as defined by the Coastal 
                Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1451)), or which is 
                making satisfactory progress toward one, shall not be 
                less in any fiscal year than 0.50 percent of the total 
                amount of the revenues transferred by the Secretary of 
                the Treasury to the Secretary of the Interior for 
                purposes of this title for that fiscal year under 
                subsection (a). For any other coastal State the 
                allocable share of such revenues shall not be less than 
                0.25 percent of such revenues.</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) Recomputation.--Where one or more 
                coastal States' allocable shares, as computed under 
                paragraphs (1) and (2), are increased by any amount 
                under this paragraph, the allocable share for all other 
                coastal States shall be recomputed and reduced by the 
                same amount so that not more than 100 percent of the 
                amount transferred by the Secretary of the Treasury to 
                the Secretary of the Interior for purposes of this 
                title for that fiscal year under section 5(b)(1) is 
                allocated to all coastal States. The reduction shall be 
                divided pro rata among such other coastal 
                States.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) Payments to Political Subdivisions.--In the case of a 
producing State, the Governor of the State shall pay 50 percent of the 
State's allocable share, as determined under subsection (b), to the 
coastal political subdivisions in such State. Such payments shall be 
allocated among such coastal political subdivisions of the State 
according to an allocation formula analogous to the allocation formula 
used in subsection (b) to allocate revenues among the coastal States, 
except that a coastal political subdivision in the State of California 
that has a coastal shoreline, that is not within 200 miles of the 
geographic center of a leased tract or portion of a leased tract, and 
in which there is located one or more oil refineries shall be eligible 
for that portion of the allocation described in subsection (b)(1)(A) 
and (b)(2) in the same manner as if that political subdivision were 
located within a distance of 50 miles from the geographic center of the 
closest leased tract with qualified Outer Continental Shelf 
revenues.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (d) Time of Payment.--Payments to coastal States and 
coastal political subdivisions under this section shall be made not 
later than December 31 of each year from revenues received during the 
immediately preceding fiscal year.</DELETED>

State publishes an accurate and current State Action Agenda for 
Community Conservation and Recreation (in this Act referred to as the 
`State Action Agenda') indicating the needs it has identified and the

Recovery action programs developed by urban localities under section 
1007 of the Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Act of 1978 shall be 
used by a State as a guide to the conclusions, priorities, and action 
schedules contained in State Action Agenda. Each State shall assure 
that any requirements for local outdoor conservation and recreation 
planning, promulgated as conditions for grants, minimize redundancy of 
local efforts by allowing, wherever possible, use of the findings, 
priorities, and implementation schedules of recovery action programs to 
meet such requirements.''.</DELETED>

subdivisions under this Act.

SEC. 4. ANNUAL REPORTS.

    (a) State Reports.--As a condition for receiving amounts from the 
Conservation and Reinvestment Act Fund, each Governor receiving such 
amounts shall account for all amounts so received during the previous 
fiscal year in a written report to the Secretary of the Interior, the 
Secretary of Agriculture, or the Secretary of Commerce, as appropriate. 
The report shall include, in accordance with regulations prescribed by 
the Secretary, a description of all projects and activities funded 
under this Act, including a listing of all lands or interests in lands 
acquired and the circumstances surrounding each acquisition. In order 
to avoid duplication, such report may incorporate by reference any 
other reports required to be submitted by the Governor, under other 
provisions of law, to the Secretary regarding any portion of such 
amounts.

Secretaries under subsection (a).

SEC. 5. MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT AND MATCHING FUNDING.

Agriculture shall monitor the use of grant funds to ensure compliance 
with this intent and shall identify in the annual report required under 
section 4 any State or subdivision that, in the judgment of the 
Secretary, is not maintaining a sufficient local commitment or uses 
funds received under this Act to reduce its expenditure of non-Federal 
funds.
    (b) Use of Amounts From the Conservation and Reinvestment Act Fund 
To Meet Matching Requirements.--All amounts received by a State or 
local government under this Act shall be treated as Federal funds for 
purposes of compliance with the requirement under any other law that 
non-Federal funds be used to provide a portion of the funding for any 
program or project.

U.S.C. 1451 et seq.).
    ``(s) The term `Coastal State' has the same meaning as provided by 
subsection 304(4) of the Coastal Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C. 
1453(4)).
    ``(t) The term `coastline' has the same meaning as the term `coast 
line' as defined in subsection 2(c) of the Submerged Lands Act (43 
U.S.C. 1301(c)).
    ``(u) The term `leased tract' means a tract maintained under

within a distance of 200 miles from any part of the coastline of any 
Coastal State, including bonus bids, rents, royalties (including 
payments for royalties taken in kind and sold), net profit share 
payments, and related late payment interest. Such term does not include 
any revenues from a leased tract or portion of a leased tract that is 
included within any area of the Outer Continental Shelf where a 
moratorium on new leasing was in effect as of January 1, 2000, unless 
the lease was issued prior to the establishment of the moratorium and 
was in production on January 1, 2000.''.

SEC. 102. COASTAL IMPACT ASSISTANCE.

    The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.) is 
amended by adding at the end the following:

``SEC. 31. COASTAL IMPACT ASSISTANCE.

    ``(a) Definitions.--When used in this section--
            ``(1) The term `coastal political subdivision' means a 
        county, parish, or any equivalent subdivision of a Producing 
        Coastal State which subdivision lies within the coastal zone 
        (as defined in section 304(1) of the Coastal Zone Management 
        Act (16 U.S.C. 1453(1)) and within a distance of 200 miles from 
        the geographic center of any leased tract.
            ``(2) The term `distance' means minimum great circle 
        distance, measured in statute miles.
            ``(3) The term `Producing Coastal State' means a Coastal 
        State with a coastal seaward boundary within 200 miles from the 
        geographic center of a leased tract other than a leased tract 
        within any area of the Outer Continental Shelf where a 
        moratorium on new leasing was in effect as of January 1, 2000, 
        unless the lease was issued prior to the establishment of the 
        moratorium and was in production on January 1, 2000.
    ``(b) ``Funding.--Amounts transferred to the Secretary under 
section 2(b)(1) of the Conservation and Reinvestment Act in a fiscal 
year shall be available for obligation and expenditure for the purposes 
of this section, without further appropriation and without fiscal year 
limitation.
    ``(c) Impact assistance payments to states and political 
subdivisions.--Notwithstanding section 9, the Secretary shall make 
payments from the amounts available under this section to Producing 
Coastal States with an approved Coastal Impact Assistance Plan, and to 
coastal political subdivisions as follows:
            ``(1) Allocations to producing coastal states.--In each 
        fiscal year, each Producing Coastal State's allocable share 
        shall be equal to the sum of the following:
                    ``(A) $245,000,000 equally divided among all 
                Producing Coastal States;
                    ``(B) $185,000,000 divided among Producing Coastal 
                States based on Outer Continental Shelf production.
            ``(2) Calculation.--The amount for each Producing Coastal 
        State under paragraph (1)(B) shall be calculated based on the 
        ratio of qualified OCS revenues generated off the coastline of 
        the Producing Coastal State to the qualified OCS revenues 
        generated off the coastlines of all Producing Coastal States, 
        for the preceding five-year period and recalculated each fifth 
        year thereafter. Where there is more than one Producing Coastal 
        State within 200 miles of a leased tract, the amount of each 
        Producing Coastal State's payment under paragraph (1)(B) for 
        such leased tract shall be inversely proportional to the 
        distance between the nearest point on the coastline of such 
        State and the geographic center of each leased tract or portion 
        of the leased tract (to the nearest whole mile) that is within 
        200 miles of that coastline, as determined by the Secretary for 
        the 5-year period concerned. A leased tract or portion of a 
        leased tract shall be excluded if the tract or portion is 
        located in a geographic area where a moratorium on new leasing 
        was in effect on January 1, 2000, unless the lease was issued 
        prior to the establishment of the moratorium and was in 
        production on January 1, 2000.
            ``(3) Payments to coastal political subdivisions.--Twenty 
        percent of each Producing Coastal State's allocable share as 
        determined under paragraph (1) shall be paid directly to the 
        coastal political subdivisions by the Secretary based on the 
        following formula:
                    ``(A) 25 percent shall be allocated based on the 
                ratio of such coastal political subdivision's coastal 
                population to the coastal population of all coastal 
                political subdivisions in the Producing Coastal State; 
                except that for those coastal political subdivisions in 
                the State of Louisiana without a coastline, the 
                coastline for purposes of this element of the formula 
                shall be the average length of the coastline of the 
                remaining coastal subdivisions in the state.
                    ``(B) 25 percent shall be allocated based on the 
                ratio of such coastal political subdivision's coastline 
                miles to the coastline miles of all coastal political 
                subdivisions in the Producing Coastal State.
                    ``(C) 50 percent shall be allocated based on the 
                relative distance of such coastal political subdivision 
                from any leased tract used to calculate the Producing 
                Coastal State's allocation using ratios that are 
                inversely proportional to the distance between the 
                point in the coastal political subdivision closest to 
                the geographic center of each leased tract or portion, 
                as determined by the Secretary; except that in the 
                State of Louisiana the funds for this element of the 
                formula shall be divided equally among all coastal 
                political subdivisions. For purposes of the 
                calculations under this subparagraph, a leased tract or 
                portion of a leased tract shall be excluded if the 
                leased tract or portion is located in a geographic area 
                where a moratorium on new leasing was in effect on 
                January 1, 2000, unless the lease was issued prior to 
                the establishment of the moratorium and was in 
                production on January 1, 2000.
            ``(4) Failure to have plan approved.--Any amount allocated 
        to a Producing Coastal State or coastal political subdivision 
        but not disbursed because of a failure to have an approved 
        Coastal Impact Assistance Plan under this section shall be 
        allocated equally by the Secretary among all other Producing 
        Coastal States in a manner consistent with this subsection 
        except that the Secretary shall hold in escrow such amount 
        until the final resolution of any appeal regarding the 
        disapproval of a plan submitted under this section. The 
        Secretary may waive the provisions of this paragraph and hold a 
        Producing Coastal State's allocable share in escrow if the 
        Secretary determines that such State is making a good faith 
        effort to develop and submit, or update, a Coastal Impact 
        Assistance Plan.
    ``(d) Coastal Impact Assistance Plan.--
            ``(1) Development and submission of state plans.--The 
        Governor of each Producing Coastal State shall prepare, and 
        submit to the Secretary, a Coastal Impact Assistance Plan which 
        shall incorporate the plans of coastal political subdivisions, 
        and may also incorporate the Statewide Coastal Conservation 
        Plan required under section 32 of this Act. The Governor shall 
        solicit local input and shall provide for public participation 
        in the development of the plan. The plan shall be submitted to 
        the Secretary by July 1, 2001 and updated at least once every 5 
        years thereafter. Amounts received by Producing Coastal States 
        and coastal political subdivisions may be used only for the 
        purposes specified in the Producing Coastal State's Coastal 
        Impact Assistance Plan.

        to read as follows:
    ``(d) State Action Agenda.--
            ``(1) A State Action Agenda for Community Recreation and 
        Conservation (in this Act referred to as the ``State Action 
        Agenda'') shall be required prior to the consideration by the 
        Secretary of financial assistance under this section. The State 
        Action Agenda shall be adequate if, in the judgment of the 
        Secretary, it encompasses and will promote the purposes of this 
        Act.
            ``(2) Each State, in partnership with its local governments 
        and Federal agencies, shall develop a State Action Agenda 
        within 5 years after the date of enactment of the Conservation 
        and Reinvestment Act. Each State may define its own priorities 
        and criteria for selection of outdoor recreation and 
        conservation acquisition and development projects eligible for 
        grants under this Act so long as it provides for public 
        involvement in this process. The State Action Agenda shall be 
        strategic, originating in broad-based and long-term needs, but 
        focused on actions that can be funded over the next 5 years. A 
        State Action Agenda must be updated at least once every 5 
        years.
            ``(3) The State Action Agenda shall contain:
                    ``(A) the name of the State agency that will have 
                authority to represent and act for the State in dealing 
                with the Secretary for the purposes of this Act;

                agenda's conclusions and proposed actions reflect an 
                ample opportunity for public participation.
            ``(4) State Action Agendas shall take into account all 
        providers of recreation and conservation lands within each 
        State, including Federal, regional, and local government 
        resources, and shall be correlated whenever possible with other 
        State, regional, and local plans for parks, recreation, open 
        space, and wetlands conservation. Recovery action programs 
        developed by urban localities under section 1007 of the Urban 
        Park and Recreation Recovery Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2506) shall 
        be used by a State as a guide to the conclusions, priorities, 
        and action schedules contained in State Action Agenda. Each 
        State shall assure that any requirements for local outdoor 
        recreation and conservation planning, promulgated as conditions 
        for grants, minimize redundancy of local efforts by allowing, 
        wherever possible, use of the findings, priorities, and 
        implementation schedules of recovery action programs to meet 
        such requirements.''.
            (2) Existing state plans.--Comprehensive State Plans 
        developed by any State under section 6(d) of the Land and Water 
        Conservation Fund Act of 1965 before the date of enactment of 
        this Act shall remain in effect in that State until a State 
        Action Agenda has been adopted pursuant to the amendment made 
        by this subsection, but no later than 5 years after the 
        enactment of this Act.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--(1) Section 6(e) of the Land and Water 
Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 460l-8(e)) is amended--
            (A) in the first sentence by striking ``State comprehensive 
        plan'' and inserting ``State Action Agenda''; and

            (1) by inserting ``(A)'' before ``No property''; and
            (2) by striking the second sentence (including the proviso)

                are no longer viable as an outdoor recreation and 
                conservation facility due to changes in demographics or 
                which must be abandoned because of environmental 
                contamination or other condition that endangers public 
                health and safety, the Secretary shall approve such 
                conversion only if the State demonstrates no prudent or 
                feasible alternative exists. Any conversion must 
                satisfy such conditions as the Secretary deems 
                necessary to assure the substitution of other 
                recreation and conservation properties of at least 
                equal fair market value and reasonably equivalent 
                usefulness and location and which are consistent with 
                the existing State Action Agenda.''.

SEC. 207. FEDERAL LAND ACQUISITION.

amended--
            (1) by striking ``Moneys appropriated'' and all that 
        follows through ``subpurposes:'' and inserting the following:
            ``(1)(A) The President shall transmit, as part of the 
        annual budget proposal, a priority list for Federal land 
        acquisition projects that fully allocates the amount 
made available for Federal land acquisition projects for that fiscal 
year. The President shall require the Secretary of the Interior and the 
Secretary of Agriculture to develop priority lists for projects under 
each Secretary's jurisdiction. The Secretaries shall prepare the lists 
in consultation with the head of each affected bureau or agency, taking 
into account the best professional judgment regarding the land 
acquisition priorities and policies of each bureau or agency. In 
preparing the lists, the Secretaries shall consider whether land 
exchanges, consolidation of Federal land ownership within a State, or 
the acquisition of conservation easements can be used with respect to 
proposed acquisitions. The Secretaries also shall consult with the 
Governors of the States and shall carefully consider any 
recommendations made by the Governor for any land acquisition within 
the State and any concerns on the acquisition of individual parcels.
            ``(B) The President shall also transmit the priority list 
        to the Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives 
        and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate 
        together with a list of all expenditures made during the prior 
        fiscal year and the specific statutory authorization for each 
        proposed land acquisition on the priority list. The Committee 
        on Energy and Natural Resources shall review the priority list
