Region 10 of the Forest Service to individuals and entities in 
historically timber-dependent areas in the States of Washington, 
Oregon, northern California, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska that have been

designing procurements which create economic opportunities for local 
contractors.
    Sec. 311. Of the funds provided to the National Endowment for the 
Arts--
            (1) The Chairperson shall only award a grant to an 
        individual if such grant is awarded to such individual for a 
        literature fellowship, National Heritage Fellowship, or 
        American Jazz Masters Fellowship.
            (2) The Chairperson shall establish procedures to ensure 
        that no funding provided through a grant, except a grant made 
        to a State or local arts agency, or regional group, may be used 
        to make a grant to any other organization or individual to 
        conduct activity independent of the direct grant recipient.

furtherance of the functions of the National Endowment for the Arts and 
the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any proceeds from such 
gifts, bequests, or devises, after acceptance by the National Endowment 
for the Arts or the National Endowment for the Humanities, shall be

The Chairman shall enter the proceeds in a special interest-bearing 
account to the credit of the appropriate endowment for the purposes 
specified in each case.
    Sec. 313. (a) In providing services or awarding financial 
assistance under the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities 
Act of 1965 from funds appropriated under this Act, the Chairperson of 
the National Endowment for the Arts shall ensure that priority is given 
to providing services or awarding financial assistance for projects, 
productions, workshops, or programs that serve underserved populations.
    (b) In this section:
            (1) The term ``underserved population'' means a population 
        of individuals, including urban minorities, who have 
        historically been outside the purview of arts and humanities 
        programs due to factors such as a high incidence of income 
        below the poverty line or to geographic isolation.
            (2) The term ``poverty line'' means the poverty line (as 
        defined by the Office of Management and Budget, and revised 
        annually in accordance with section 673(2) of the Community 
        Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 9902(2))) applicable to a 
        family of the size involved.
    (c) In providing services and awarding financial assistance under 
the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965 with 
funds appropriated by this Act, the Chairperson of the National 
Endowment for the Arts shall ensure that priority is given to providing 
services or awarding financial assistance for projects, productions, 
workshops, or programs that will encourage public knowledge, education, 
understanding, and appreciation of the arts.
    (d) With funds appropriated by this Act to carry out section 5 of 
the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965--
            (1) the Chairperson shall establish a grant category for 
        projects, productions, workshops, or programs that are of 
        national impact or availability or are able to tour several 
        States;
            (2) the Chairperson shall not make grants exceeding 15 
        percent, in the aggregate, of such funds to any single State, 
        excluding grants made under the authority of paragraph (1);
            (3) the Chairperson shall report to the Congress annually 
        and by State, on grants awarded by the Chairperson in each 
        grant category under section 5 of such Act; and
            (4) the Chairperson shall encourage the use of grants to 
        improve and support community-based music performance and 
        education.
    Sec. 314. No part of any appropriation contained in this Act shall 
be expended or obligated to complete and issue the 5-year program under 
the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act.
    Sec. 315. None of the funds in this Act may be used to support 
Government-wide administrative functions unless such functions are 
justified in the budget process and funding is approved by the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
    Sec. 316. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none of the 
funds in this Act may be used for GSA Telecommunication Centers.
    Sec. 317. None of the funds in this Act may be used for planning, 
design or construction of improvements to Pennsylvania Avenue in front 
of the White House without the advance approval of the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations.
    Sec. 318. Amounts deposited during fiscal year 2002 in the roads 
and trails fund provided for in the 14th paragraph under the heading 
``FOREST SERVICE'' of the Act of March 4, 1913 (37 Stat. 843; 16 U.S.C. 
501), shall be used by the Secretary of Agriculture, without regard to 
the State in which the amounts were derived, to repair or reconstruct 
roads, bridges, and trails on National Forest System lands 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 projects may be completed in a subsequent 
fiscal year. Funds shall not be expended under this section to replace 
funds which would otherwise appropriately be expended from the timber 
salvage sale fund. Nothing in this section shall be construed to exempt 
any project from any environmental law.
    Sec. 319. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised if the 
indicated rate is deficit when appraised using a residual value 
approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western redcedar. 
Program accomplishments shall be based on volume sold. Should Region 10 
sell, in fiscal year 2003, 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 using a 
residual value approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western 
redcedar, all of the western redcedar 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 2003, 
less than the annual average portion of the decadal allowable sale 
quantity called for in the Tongass Land Management Plan in sales which 
are not deficit when appraised using a residual value approach that 
assigns domestic Alaska values for western redcedar, the volume of 
western redcedar timber available to domestic processors at prevailing 
domestic prices in the contiguous 48 United 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 redcedar 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 
redcedar is eligible for sale to various markets shall be made at the 
time each sale is awarded). Western redcedar 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 redcedar 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 redcedar 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. 320. 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.
    Sec. 321. Revision of Forest Plans. Prior to October 1, 2003, the 
Secretary of Agriculture shall not be considered to be in violation of 
subparagraph 6(f)(5)(A) of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources 
Planning Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 1604(f)(5)(A)) solely because more than 
15 years have passed without revision of the plan for a unit of the 
National Forest System. Nothing in this section exempts the Secretary 
from any other requirement of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable 
Resources Planning Act (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.) or any other law: 
Provided, That if the Secretary is not acting expeditiously and in good 
faith, within the funding available, to revise a plan for a unit of the 
National Forest System, this section shall be void with respect to such 
plan and a court of proper jurisdiction may order completion of the 
plan on an accelerated basis.
    Sec. 322. No funds provided in this Act may be expended to conduct 
preleasing, leasing and related activities under either the Mineral 
Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) or the Outer Continental Shelf 
Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.) within the boundaries of a National 
Monument established pursuant to the Act of June 8, 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 
et seq.) as such boundary existed on January 20, 2001, except where 
such activities are allowed under the Presidential proclamation 
establishing such monument.
    Sec. 323. Section 347(a) of the Department of the Interior and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as included in Public Law 
105-277 is amended by striking ``2004'' and inserting ``2005''. The 
authority to enter into stewardship and end result contracts provided 
to the Forest Service in accordance with section 347 of title III of 
section 101(e) of division A of Public Law 105-277 is hereby expanded 
to authorize the Forest Service to enter into an additional 28 
contracts subject to the same terms and conditions as provided in that 
section: Provided, That of the additional contracts authorized by this 
section at least 9 shall be allocated to Region 1.
    Sec. 324. Employees of the foundations established by Acts of 
Congress to solicit private sector funds on behalf of Federal land 
management agencies shall, beginning in fiscal year 2004, qualify for 
General Service Administration contract airfares.
    Sec. 325. In entering into agreements with foreign countries 
pursuant to the Wildfire Suppression Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 1856m) 
the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior are 
authorized to enter into reciprocal agreements in which the individuals 
furnished under said agreements to provide wildfire services are 
considered, for purposes of tort liability, employees of the country 
receiving said services when the individuals are fighting fires. The 
Secretary of Agriculture or the Secretary of the Interior shall not 
enter into any agreement under this provision unless the foreign 
country (either directly or through its fire organization) agrees to 
assume any and all liability for the acts or omissions of American 
firefighters engaged in firefighting in a foreign country. When an 
agreement is reached for furnishing fire fighting services, the only 
remedies for acts or omissions committed while fighting fires shall be 
those provided under the laws of the host country and those remedies 
shall be the exclusive remedies for any claim arising out of fighting 
fires in a foreign country. Neither the sending country nor any 
organization associated with the firefighter shall be subject to any 
action whatsoever pertaining to or arising out of fighting fires.
    Sec. 326. A grazing permit or lease issued by the Secretary of the 
Interior or a grazing permit issued by the Secretary of Agriculture 
where National Forest System lands are involved that expires, is 
transferred, or waived during fiscal year 2003 shall be renewed under 
Section 402 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as 
amended (43 U.S.C. 1752), Section 19 of the Granger-Thye Act, as 
amended (16 U.S.C. 580l), or, if applicable, section 510 of the 
California Desert Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 410aaa-50). The terms and 
conditions contained in the expired, transferred, or waived permit or 
lease shall continue in effect under the renewed permit or lease until 
such time as the Secretary of the Interior or Secretary of Agriculture 
as appropriate completes processing of such permit or lease in 
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, at which time such 
permit or lease may be canceled, suspended or modified, in whole or in 
part, to meet the requirements of such applicable laws and regulations. 
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to alter the statutory 
authority of the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of 
Agriculture: Provided, That where National Forest System lands are 
involved and the Secretary of Agriculture has renewed an expired or 
waived grazing permit prior to fiscal year 2003 under the authority of 
Section 504 of the Rescissions Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-19), the 
terms and conditions of the renewed grazing permit shall remain in 
effect until such time as the Secretary of Agriculture completes 
processing of the renewed permit in compliance with all applicable laws 
and regulations or until the expiration of the renewed permit, 
whichever comes first. Upon completion of the processing, the permit 
may be canceled, suspended or modified, in whole or in part, to meet 
the requirements of applicable laws and regulations. Nothing in this 
section shall be deemed to alter the Secretary of Agriculture's 
statutory authority.
    Sec. 327. In awarding a Federal Contract with funds made available 
by this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the 
Interior (the ``Secretaries'') may, in evaluating bids and proposals, 
give consideration to local contractors who are from, and who provide 
employment and training for, dislocated and displaced workers in an 
economically disadvantaged rural community, including those 
historically timber-dependent areas that have been affected by reduced 
timber harvesting on Federal lands and other forest-dependent rural 
communities isolated from significant alternative employment 
opportunities: Provided, That the contract is for forest hazardous 
fuels reduction, watershed or water quality monitoring or restoration, 
wildlife or fish population monitoring, or habitat restoration or 
management: Provided further, That the terms ``rural community'' and 
``economically disadvantaged'' shall have the same meanings as in 
section 2374 of Public Law 101-624: Provided further, That the 
Secretaries shall develop guidance to implement this section: Provided 
further, That nothing in this section shall be construed as relieving 
the Secretaries of any duty under applicable procurement laws, except 
as provided in this section.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Department of the Interior and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2003''.
