        is in recognition of the Pueblo's specific rights and interests

                uses;
                    (B) the right to consultation regarding modified 
                uses;
                    (C) the right to consultation regarding the

administered by the Secretary through the Forest Service.
    (c) Compensable Interest.--
            (1) If, by an Act of Congress enacted subsequent to the 
        effective date of this Act, Congress diminishes the Wilderness 
        and National Forest designation of the Area by authorizing a 
        use prohibited by section 4(f) in all or any portion of the 
        Area, or permanently denies the Pueblo access for any 
        traditional and cultural uses in all or any portion of the 
        Area, the United States shall compensate the Pueblo as if the 
        Pueblo had held a fee title interest in the affected portion of 
        the Area and as though the United States had acquired such 
        interest by legislative exercise of its power of eminent 
        domain, and the restrictions of sections 4(f) and 6(a) shall be 
        disregarded in determining just compensation owed to the 
        Pueblo.
            (2) Any compensation made to the Pueblo pursuant to 
        subsection (c)(1) does not in any way affect the extinguishment 
        of claims set forth in section 10.

              AREA.

    (a) Limitations.--The Pueblo's rights and interests recognized in

use rights as authorized in section 5(a)(4) of this Act may be 
prosecuted for a Federal wildlife offense requiring proof of a 
violation of a State law or regulation.

SEC. 7. MANAGEMENT OF THE AREA.

    (a) Process.--
            (1) General.--
                    (A) The Forest Service shall consult with the 
                Pueblo of Sandia not less than twice a year, unless 
                otherwise mutually agreed, concerning protection, 
                preservation, and management of the Area, including new 
                and modified uses and activities in the Area and 
                authorizations that are anticipated during the next six 
                months and approved in the preceding six months.
            (2) New uses and activities.--
                    (A) If after consultation the Pueblo of Sandia 
                denies its consent for a new use or activity within 30 
                days of the consultation, the Forest Service will not 
                be authorized to proceed with the activity or use. If 
                the Pueblo consents to the new use or activity in 
                writing or fails to respond within 30 days, the Forest 
                Service may proceed with the notice and comment process 
                and the environmental analysis.
                    (B) Before the Forest Service signs a Record of 
                Decision (ROD) or Decision Notice (DN) for a proposed 
                use or activity, the Forest Service will again request 
                Pueblo consent within 30 days of the Pueblo's receipt 
                of the proposed ROD or DN. If the Pueblo refuses to 
consent, the activity or use will not be authorized. If the Pueblo 
fails to respond to the consent request within 30 days after the 
proposed ROD or DN is provided to the Pueblo, the Pueblo will be deemed 
to have consented to the proposed ROD or DN and the Forest Service may 
proceed to issue the final ROD or DN.
            (3) Public involvement.--
                    (A) For proposed new and modified uses and 
                activities, the public shall be provided notice of--
                            (i) the purpose and need for the proposed 
                        action or activity,
                            (ii) the Pueblo's role in the decision-
                        making process, and
                            (iii) the Pueblo's position on the 
                        proposal.
                Any member of the public may file an action in the 
                United States District Court for the District of New 
                Mexico to challenge Forest Service determinations of 
                what constitutes a new or a modified use or activity.
    (b) Emergencies and Emergency Closure Orders.--The Forest Service 
shall retain its existing authorities to manage emergency situations, 
to provide for public safety, and to issue emergency closure orders in 
the Area subject to applicable law. The Forest Service shall notify the 
Pueblo of Sandia regarding emergencies, public safety issues, and 
emergency closure orders as soon as possible. Such actions are not 
subject to the Pueblo's right to withhold consent to new uses in the 
Area as set forth in section 5(a)(3)(i).
    (c) Disputes Involving Forest Service Management and Pueblo 
Traditional Uses.--
            (1) General.--In the event that Forest Service management 
        of the Area and Pueblo traditional and cultural uses conflict, 
        and the conflict does not pertain to new or modified uses 
        subject to the process set forth in subsection (a), the process 
        for dispute resolution set forth in this subsection shall take 
        effect.
            (2) Dispute resolution process.--(A) When there is a 
        dispute between the Pueblo and the Forest Service regarding 
        Pueblo traditional and cultural use and Forest Service 
        management of the Area, the party identifying the dispute shall 
        notify the other party in writing addressed to the Governor of 
        the Pueblo or the Regional Forester respectively, setting forth 
        the nature of the dispute. The Regional Forester or designee 
        and the Governor of the Pueblo or designee shall attempt to 
        resolve the dispute for no less than 30 days after notice has 
        been provided before filing an action in United States District 
        Court for the District of New Mexico.
            (B) Disputes requiring immediate resolution.--In the event 
        of a conflict that requires immediate resolution to avoid 
        imminent, substantial and irreparable harm, the party alleging 
        such conflict shall notify the other party and seek to resolve 
        the dispute within 3 days of the date of notification. If the 
        parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 3 days, either 
        party may file an action for immediate relief in federal court 
        in New Mexico, and the procedural exhaustion requirements set 
        forth above shall not apply.

SEC. 8. JURISDICTION OVER THE AREA.

    (a) Criminal Jurisdiction.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, jurisdiction over crimes committed in the Area shall be allocated 
as follows:
            (1) To the extent that the allocations of criminal 
        jurisdiction over the Area under paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) 
        of this subsection are overlapping, they should be construed to 
        allow for the exercise of concurrent criminal jurisdiction.
            (2) The Pueblo shall have jurisdiction over crimes 
        committed by its members or by members of another federally 
        recognized Indian tribe who are present in the Area with the 
        Pueblo's permission pursuant to section 5(a)(4).
            (3) The United States shall have jurisdiction over--
                    (A) the offenses listed in section 1153 of title 
                18, U.S. Code, including any offenses added to the list 
                in that statute by future amendments thereto, when such 
                offenses are committed by members of the Pueblo and 
                other federally recognized Indian tribes;
                    (B) crimes committed by any person in violation of 
                laws and regulations pertaining to the protection and 
                management of National Forests;
                    (C) enforcement of federal criminal laws of general 
                applicability; and
                    (D) any other offense committed by a member of the 
                Pueblo against a non-member of the Pueblo. Any offense 
                which is not defined and punished by federal law in 
                force within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United 
                States shall be defined and punished in accordance with 
                the laws of the State of New Mexico.
            (4) The State of New Mexico shall have jurisdiction over 
        any crime under its laws committed by a person not a member of 
        the Pueblo.
    (b) Civil Jurisdiction.--
            (1) Except as provided in paragraphs (2), (3), (4), and 
        (5), the United States, the State of New Mexico, and local 
        public bodies shall have the same civil 
adjudicatory, regulatory, and taxing jurisdiction over the Area as they 
exercised prior to the enactment of this Act.
            (2) The Pueblo shall have exclusive civil adjudicatory 
        jurisdiction over--
                    (A) disputes involving only members of the Pueblo;
                    (B) civil actions brought by the Pueblo against 
                members of the Pueblo; and
                    (C) civil actions brought by the Pueblo against 
                members of other federally recognized Indian tribes for 
                violations of understandings between the Pueblo and 
                that member's tribe regarding use or access to the Area 
                for traditional and cultural purposes.
            (3) The Pueblo shall have no regulatory jurisdiction over 
        the Area with the exception of:
                    (A) exclusive authority to regulate traditional and 
                cultural uses by the Pueblo's own members and to 
                administer access to the Area by other federally 
                recognized Indian tribes for traditional and cultural 
                uses, to the extent such regulation is consistent with 
                this Act; and
                    (B) the Pueblo shall have exclusive authority to 
                regulate hunting and trapping in the Area by its 
                members that is related to traditional and cultural 
                purposes. Such authority shall not vest or continue 
                until the Pueblo enacts and thereafter maintains and 
                enforces regulations substantially similar to those of 
                the State of New Mexico concerning seasons, game 
                management, types of weapons, proximity of hunting and 
                trapping to trails and residences, and comparable 
                safety restrictions. Prior to adopting such 
                regulations, the Pueblo shall provide the Forest 
                Service and the New Mexico Game and Fish Department 
                with notice and an opportunity to comment on the 
                regulations. The Pueblo shall consult and exchange 
                information with the New Mexico Game and Fish 
                Department on a periodic basis to assist the Department 
                with its ongoing responsibility to protect wildlife 
                populations.
            (4) The Pueblo shall have no authority to impose taxes 
        within the Area.
            (5) The State of New Mexico and local public bodies shall

        property of the Pueblo, its members, or members of other 
        federally recognized Indian tribes authorized to use the Area 
        under section 5(a)(4) of this Act.

SEC. 9. SUBDIVISIONS AND OTHER PROPERTY INTERESTS.

    (a) Subdivisions.--The subdivisions are excluded from the Area. The 
Pueblo shall have no civil or criminal jurisdiction for any purpose, 
including adjudicatory, taxing, zoning, regulatory or any other form of 
jurisdiction, over the subdivisions and property interests therein, and 
the laws of the Pueblo shall not apply to the subdivisions. The 
jurisdiction of the State of New Mexico and local public bodies over 
the subdivisions and property interests therein shall continue in 
effect, except that a tract comprised of approximately 35 contiguous, 
non-subdivided acres in the northern section of Evergreen Hills owned 
in fee by the Pueblo at the time of enactment of this Act, shall be 
transferred to the United States and held in trust for the Pueblo by 
the United States and administered by the Secretary of the Interior. 
Such trust land shall be subject to all limitations on use pertaining 
to the Area contained in this Act.
    (b) Piedra Lisa.--The Piedra Lisa tract is excluded from the Area 
notwithstanding any subsequent acquisition of the tract by the Pueblo. 
If the Forest Service acquires the tract, it shall be included in the 
Area. Unless the Piedra Lisa tract is acquired by the Pueblo, the 
Pueblo shall have no civil or criminal jurisdiction over the tract and 
property interests therein, and the laws of the Pueblo shall not apply 
to the tract. Except as provided in subsection (e), the jurisdiction of 
the State of New Mexico and local bodies over the Piedra Lisa tract and 
property interests therein shall continue in effect. If the Forest 
Service acquires the tract, the jurisdictional provisions of section 8 
of this Act shall apply.
    (c) Crest Facilities.--The lands on which the crest facilities are 
located are excluded from the Area. The Pueblo shall have no civil or 
criminal jurisdiction for any purpose, including adjudicatory, taxing, 
zoning, regulatory or any other form of jurisdiction, over the lands on 
which the crest facilities are located and property interests therein, 
and the laws of the Pueblo shall not apply to those lands. The pre-
existing jurisdictional status of those lands shall continue in effect.
    (d) Special Use Permit Area.--The lands described in the special 
use permit are excluded from the Area. The Pueblo shall have no civil 
or criminal jurisdiction for any purpose, including adjudicatory, 
taxing, zoning, regulatory, or any other form of jurisdiction, over the 
lands described in the special use permit, and the laws of the Pueblo 
shall not apply to those lands. The pre-existing jurisdictional status 
of these lands shall continue in effect. In the event the special use 
permit, during its existing term or any future terms or extensions, 
requires amendment to include other lands in the Area necessary to 
realign the existing or any future replacement tram line, associated 
structures, or facilities, the lands subject to that amendment shall 
thereafter be excluded from the Area and shall have the same status 
under this Act as the lands currently described in the special use 
permit. Any lands dedicated to aerial tramway and related uses and 
associated facilities that are excluded from the special use permit 
through expiration, termination or the amendment process shall 
thereafter be included in the Area but only after final agency action 
no longer subject to any appeals.
    (e) La Luz Tract and Subsequent Acquisition.--The La Luz tract now 
owned in fee by the Pueblo is excluded from the Area and shall be 
transferred to the United States and held in trust for the Pueblo by 
the United States and administered by the Secretary of the Interior. If 
the Pueblo acquires the Piedra Lisa tract, the tract shall be 
transferred to the United States and held in trust for the Pueblo by 
the United States and administered by the Secretary of the Interior. 
Such trust land shall be subject to all limitations on use pertaining 
to the Area contained in this Act. The restriction contained in section 
6(a)(4) shall not apply outside of Forest Service System trails.
    (f) Evergreen Hills Access.--The Secretary, consistent with section 
1323(a) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (16 
U.S.C. 3210), shall ensure that Forest Service Road 333D, as depicted 
on the map, is maintained in an adequate condition consistent with the 
terms of section 1323(a) of the Alaska National Interest Lands 
Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 3210).
    (g) Pueblo Fee Lands.--Those properties not specifically addressed 
in subsection (a) or (e) of this section that are owned in fee by the 
Pueblo within the subdivisions are excluded from the Area and shall be 
subject to the jurisdictional provisions of subsection (a) of this 
section.
    (h) Rights-of-Way.--
            (1) Road rights-of-way.--
                    (A) In accordance with the Pueblo having given its 
                consent in the Settlement Agreement, the Secretary of 
                the Interior shall grant to the County of Bernalillo, 
                New Mexico, in perpetuity, the following irrevocable

                Heights South Subdivision, and the Area:
                            (i) a right-of-way for Tramway Road;

                            (iii) a right-of-way for Juniper Hill Road 
                        South;
                            (iv) a right-of-way for Sandia Heights 
                        Road; and
                            (v) a right-of-way for Juan Tabo Canyon 
                        Road (Forest Road No. 333).
                    (B) The road rights-of-way shall be subject to the 
                following conditions:
                            (i) Such rights-of-way may not be expanded 
                        or otherwise modified without the Pueblo's 
                        written consent, but road maintenance to the 
                        rights of way shall not be subject to Pueblo 
                        consent.
                            (ii) The rights-of-way shall not authorize 
                        uses for any purpose other than roads without 
                        the Pueblo's written consent.
                            (iii) Existing rights-of-way or leasehold 
                        interests held by the Sandia Peak Tram Company 
                        and its affiliates, shall be preserved and 
                        protected.
            (2) Utility rights-of-way.--In accordance with the Pueblo 
        having given its consent in the Settlement Agreement, the 
        Secretary of the Interior shall grant irrevocable utility 
        rights-of-way in perpetuity across Pueblo lands to appropriate 
        utility or other service providers serving Sandia Heights 
        Addition, Sandia Heights North Units I, II, and 3, the special 
        use permit lands, and Tierra Monte, including rights-of-way for 
        natural gas, power, water, telecommunications, and cable 
        television services. Such rights-of-way shall be within 
        existing utility corridors as depicted on the map or, for 
        certain water lines, as described in the existing grant of 
        easement to the Sandia Peak Utility Company; provided that use 
        of water line easements outside the utility corridors depicted 
        on the map shall not be used for utility purposes other than 
        water lines and associated facilities. Except where above-
        ground facilities already exist, all new utility facilities 
        shall be installed underground unless the Pueblo agrees 
        otherwise. To the extent that enlargement of existing utility 
        corridors is required for any technologically-advanced 
        telecommunication, television, or utility services, the Pueblo 
        shall not unreasonably withhold agreement to a reasonable 
        enlargement of the easements described above.
    (i) Forest Service Rights-of-Way.--In accordance with the Pueblo 
having given its consent in the Settlement Agreement, the Secretary of 
the Interior shall grant to the Forest Service the following

        (Trail No. 84), crossing a portion of the La Luz tract, as 
        identified on the map;
            (2) a right-of-way for the extension of the Foothills Trail

        North-South Trail (Trail No. 135) crossing the Piedra Lisa 
        tract, if the Pueblo ever acquires the Piedra Lisa tract.

SEC. 10. EXTINGUISHMENT OF CLAIMS.

    (a) General.--Except for the rights and interests in and to the 
Area specifically recognized in sections 4, 5, 8, and 9, all Pueblo 
claims to right, title and interest of any kind, including aboriginal

interests therein, as well as related boundary, survey, trespass, and 
monetary damage claims, are hereby permanently extinguished. The United 
States' title to the Area is hereby confirmed.
    (b) Subdivisions and Piedra Lisa.--Any Pueblo claims to right,

the subdivisions and the Piedra Lisa tract and property interests 
therein, as well as related boundary, survey, trespass, and monetary 
damage claims, are hereby permanently extinguished.
    (c) Special Use and Crest Facilities Areas.--Any Pueblo right, 
title and interest of any kind, including aboriginal claims, and 
related boundary, survey, trespass, and monetary damage claims, are 
hereby permanently extinguished in and to--
            (1) the lands described in the special use permit; and
            (2) the lands on which the crest facilities are located.
    (d) Pueblo Agreement.--As provided in the Settlement Agreement, the 
Pueblo has agreed to the relinquishment and extinguishment of those 
claims, rights, titles and interests extinguished pursuant to 
subsection (a), (b) and (c) of this section.
    (e) Consideration.--The recognition of the Pueblo's rights and 
interests in this Act constitutes adequate consideration for the 
Pueblo's agreement to the extinguishment of the Pueblo's claims in this 
section and the right-of-way grants contained in section 9, and it is 
the intent of Congress that those rights and interests may only be 
diminished by a future Act of Congress specifically authorizing 
diminishment of such rights, with express reference to this Act.
