        defined by the Office of Management and Budget, and revised

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

to be excess of the cost of doing work described in subsection (a), but 
which has not been transferred by that date) shall be transferred to 
miscellaneous receipts, National Forest Fund, as a National Forest 
receipt, but only if the Secretary also determines that--
            ``(1) the excess amounts will not be needed for emergency 
        wildfire suppression during the fiscal year in which the 
        transfer would be made; and
            ``(2) the amount to be transferred to miscellaneous

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; and
            (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

                compliance with the terms and conditions of the

Program to provide for operations until a subsequent operator can be 
found through the offering of a new prospectus.
    Sec. 319. Prior to October 1, 2005, 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.
    Sec. 320. No funds provided in this Act may be expended to conduct

declarations of taking or complaints in condemnation without the 
approval of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations:

    (c) Limitation on Competitive Sourcing Studies.--
            (1) Of the funds made available by this or any other Act to

    (d) Limitation on Conversion to Contractor Performance.--
            (1) None of the funds made available in this or any other

        activity or function of the Forest Service, an activity or 
        function of the Department of the Interior performed under 
        programs, projects, and activities for which funds are 
        appropriated by this Act, or an activity or function of the 
        Department of Energy performed under programs, projects, and 
        activities for which funds are appropriated by this Act, if 
        such activity or function is performed on or after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act by more than 10 Federal employees 
        unless--
                    (A) the conversion is based on the result of a 
                public-private competition that includes a more 
                efficient and cost effective organization plan 
                developed by such activity or function; and
                    (B) the Competitive Sourcing Official determines 
                that, over all performance periods stated in the 
                solicitation of offers for performance of the activity 
                or function, the cost of performance of the activity or 
                function by a contractor would be less costly to the 
                Federal Government by an amount that equals or exceeds 
                the lesser of--
                            (i) 10 percent of the more efficient 
                        organization's personnel-related costs for 
                        performance of that activity or function by 
                        Federal employees; or

        industrial type function that--
                    (A) is included on the procurement list established 
                pursuant to section 2 of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act 
                (41 U.S.C. 47);
                    (B) is planned to be converted to performance by a
