Heritage Area Act''.

SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) northern New Mexico encompasses a mosaic of cultures 
        and history, including eight Pueblos and the descendants of 
        Spanish ancestors who settled in the area in 1598;
            (2) the combination of cultures, languages, folk arts, 
        customs, and architecture make northern New Mexico unique;
            (3) the area includes spectacular natural, scenic, and 
        recreational resources;
            (4) there is broad support from local governments and 
        interested individuals to establish a National Heritage Area to 
        coordinate and assist in the preservation and interpretation of 
        these resources;
            (5) in 1991, the National Park Service study Alternative 
        Concepts for Commemorating Spanish Colonization identified 
        several alternatives consistent with the establishment of a 
        National Heritage Area, including conducting a comprehensive 
        archaeological and historical research program, coordinating a 
        comprehensive interpretation program, and interpreting a 
        cultural heritage scene; and
            (6) establishment of a National Heritage Area in northern 
        New Mexico would assist local communities and residents in 
        preserving these unique cultural, historical and natural 
        resources.

               TITLE II--NATIONAL AVIATION HERITAGE AREA

SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``National Aviation Heritage Area 
Act''.

SEC. 202. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Few technological advances have transformed the world 
        or our Nation's economy, society, culture, and national 
        character as the development of powered flight.
            (2) The industrial, cultural, and natural heritage legacies 
        of the aviation and aerospace industry in the State of Ohio are 
        nationally significant.
            (3) Dayton, Ohio, and other defined areas where the 
        development of the airplane and aerospace technology 
        established our Nation's leadership in both civil and military 
        aeronautics and astronautics set the foundation for the 20th 
        Century to be an American Century.
            (4) Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, is the 
        birthplace, the home, and an integral part of the future of 
        aerospace.
            (5) The economic strength of our Nation is connected 
        integrally to the vitality of the aviation and aerospace 
        industry, which is responsible for an estimated 11,200,000 
        American jobs.
            (6) The industrial and cultural heritage of the aviation 
        and aerospace industry in the State of Ohio includes the social 
        history and living cultural traditions of several generations.
            (7) The Department of the Interior is responsible for 
        protecting and interpreting the Nation's cultural and historic 
        resources, and there are significant examples of these 
        resources within Ohio to merit the involvement of the Federal 
        Government to develop programs and projects in cooperation with 
        the Aviation Heritage Foundation, Incorporated, the State of 
        Ohio, and other local and governmental entities to adequately 
        conserve, protect, and interpret this heritage for the 
        educational and recreational benefit of this and future 
        generations of Americans, while providing opportunities for 
        education and revitalization.
            (8) Since the enactment of the Dayton Aviation Heritage 
        Preservation Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-419), partnerships 
        among the Federal, State, and local governments and the private 
        sector have greatly assisted the development and preservation 
        of the historic aviation resources in the Miami Valley.
            (9) An aviation heritage area centered in Southwest Ohio is 
        a suitable and feasible management option to increase 
        collaboration, promote heritage tourism, and build on the 
        established partnerships among Ohio's historic aviation 
        resources and related sites.
            (10) A critical level of collaboration among the historic 
        aviation resources in Southwest Ohio cannot be achieved without 
        a congressionally established national heritage area and the 
        support of the National Park Service and other Federal agencies 
        which own significant historic aviation-related sites in Ohio.
            (11) The Aviation Heritage Foundation, Incorporated, would 
        be an appropriate management entity to oversee the development 
        of the National Aviation Heritage Area.
            (12) Five National Park Service and Dayton Aviation 
        Heritage Commission studies and planning documents: ``Study of 
        Alternatives: Dayton's Aviation Heritage'', ``Dayton Aviation 
        Heritage National Historical Park Suitability/Feasibility 
        Study'', ``Dayton Aviation Heritage General Management Plan'', 
        ``Dayton Historic Resources Preservation and Development 
        Plan'', and Heritage Area Concept Study, demonstrated that 
        sufficient historical resources exist to establish the National 
        Aviation Heritage Area.
            (13) With the advent of the 100th anniversary of the first 
        powered flight in 2003, it is recognized that the preservation 
        of properties nationally significant in the history of aviation 
        is an important goal for the future education of Americans.
            (14) Local governments, the State of Ohio, and private 
        sector interests have embraced the heritage area concept and 
        desire to enter into a partnership with the Federal government 
        to preserve, protect, and develop the Heritage Area for public 
        benefit.
            (15) The National Aviation Heritage Area would complement 
        and enhance the aviation-related resources within the National 
        Park Service, especially the Dayton Aviation Heritage National 
        Historical Park, Ohio.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to establish the 
Heritage Area to--
            (1) encourage and facilitate collaboration among the 
        facilities, sites, organizations, governmental entities, and 
        educational institutions within the Heritage Area to promote 
        heritage tourism and to develop educational and cultural 
        programs for the public;
            (2) preserve and interpret for the educational and 
        inspirational benefit of present and future generations the 
        unique and significant contributions to our national heritage 
        of certain historic and cultural lands, structures, facilities, 
        and sites within the National Aviation Heritage Area;
            (3) encourage within the National Aviation Heritage Area a 
        broad range of economic opportunities enhancing the quality of 
        life for present and future generations;
            (4) provide a management framework to assist the State of 
        Ohio, its political subdivisions, other areas, and private 
        organizations, or combinations thereof, in preparing and 
        implementing an integrated Management Plan to conserve their 
        aviation heritage and in developing policies and programs that 
        will preserve, enhance, and interpret the cultural, historical, 
        natural, recreation, and scenic resources of the Heritage Area; 
        and
            (5) authorize the Secretary to provide financial and 
        technical assistance to the State of Ohio, its political 
        subdivisions, and private organizations, or combinations 
        thereof, in preparing and implementing the private Management

            (1) The Oil Region of Northwestern Pennsylvania, with 
        numerous sites and districts listed on the National Register of 
        Historic Places, and designated by the Governor of Pennsylvania 
        as one of the State Heritage Park Areas, is a region with 
        tremendous physical and natural resources and possesses a story 
        of State, national, and international significance.
            (2) The single event of Colonel Edwin Drake's drilling of 
        the world's first successful oil well in 1859 has affected the 
        industrial, natural, social, and political structures of the 
        modern world.
            (3) Six national historic districts are located within the 
        State Heritage Park boundary, in Emlenton, Franklin, Oil City, 
        and Titusville, as well as 17 separate National Register sites.
            (4) The Allegheny River, which was designated as a 
        component of the national wild and scenic rivers system in 1992 
        by Public Law 102-271, traverses the Oil Region and connects 
        several of its major sites, as do some of the river's 
        tributaries such as Oil Creek, French Creek, and Sandy Creek.
            (5) The unspoiled rural character of the Oil Region 
        provides many natural and recreational resources, scenic 
        vistas, and excellent water quality for people throughout the 
        United States to enjoy.
            (6) Remnants of the oil industry, visible on the landscape 
        to this day, provide a direct link to the past for visitors, as 
        do the historic valley settlements, riverbed settlements, 
        plateau developments, farmlands, and industrial landscapes.
            (7) The Oil Region also represents a cross section of 
        American history associated with Native Americans, frontier 
        settlements, the French and Indian War, African Americans and 
        the Underground Railroad, and immigration of Swedish and Polish 
        individuals, among others.
            (8) Involvement by the Federal Government shall serve to 
        enhance the efforts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, local 
        subdivisions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, volunteer

        national, and recreational resources of the region in order to 
        fulfill their full potential.

management framework to assist the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, its 
units of local government, and area citizens in conserving, enhancing,

             TITLE IX--WESTERN RESERVE HERITAGE AREAS STUDY

SEC. 901. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Western Reserve Heritage Areas Study 
Act''.

SEC. 902. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE STUDY REGARDING THE WESTERN RESERVE, 
              OHIO.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The area that encompasses the modern-day counties of 
        Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula, Portage, Geagua, Lake, Cuyahoga, 
        Summit, Medina, Huron, Lorain, Erie, Ottawa, and Ashland in 
        Ohio with the rich history in what was once the Western 
        Reserve, has made a unique contribution to the cultural, 
        political and industrial development of the United States.
            (2) The Western Reserve is distinctive as the land settled 
        by the people of Connecticut after the Revolutionary War. The 
        Western Reserve holds a unique mark as the original wilderness 
        land of the West that many settlers migrated to in order to 
        begin life outside of the original 13 colonies.
            (3) The Western Reserve played a significant role in 
        providing land to the people of Connecticut whose property and 
        land was destroyed during the Revolution. These settlers were 
        descendants of the brave immigrants who came to the Americas in 
        the 17th century.
            (4) The Western Reserve offered a new destination for those 
        who moved west in search of land and prosperity. The 
        agricultural and industrial base that began in the Western 
        Reserve still lives strong in these prosperous and historical 
        counties.
            (5) The heritage of the Western Reserve remains transfixed 
        in the counties of Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula, Portage, 
        Geagua, Lake, Cuyahoga, Summit, Medina, Huron, Lorain, Erie, 
        Ottawa, and Ashland in Ohio. The people of these counties are 
        proud of their heritage as shown through the unwavering 
        attempts to preserve agricultural land and the industrial 
        foundation that has been embedded in this region since the 
        establishment of the Western Reserve. Throughout these 
        counties, historical sites, and markers preserve the unique 
        traditions and customs of its original heritage.
            (6) The counties that encompass the Western Reserve 
        continue to maintain a strong connection to its historic past 
        as seen through its preservation of its local heritage, 
        including historic homes, buildings, and centers of public 
        gatherings.
            (7) There is a need for assistance for the preservation and 
        promotion of the significance of the Western Reserve as the 
        natural, historic and cultural heritage of the counties of 
        Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula, Portage, Geagua, Lake, Cuyahoga, 
        Summit, Medina, Huron, Lorain, Erie, Ottawa and Ashland in 
        Ohio.
            (8) The Department of the Interior is responsible for 
        protecting the Nation's cultural and historical resources. 
        There are significant examples of such resources within these 
        counties and what was once the Western Reserve to merit the 
        involvement of the Federal Government in the development of 
        programs and projects, in cooperation with the State of Ohio 
        and other local governmental entities, to adequately conserve, 
        protect, and interpret this heritage for future generations, 
        while providing opportunities for education and revitalization.
    (b) Study.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall, in consultation with 
        the State of Ohio, the counties of Trumbull, Mahoning, 
        Ashtabula, Portage, Geagua, Lake, Cuyahoga, Summit, Medina, 
        Huron, Lorain, Erie, Ottawa, and Ashland, and other appropriate 
        organizations, carry out a study regarding the suitability and 
        feasibility of establishing the Western Reserve Heritage Area 
        in these counties in Ohio.
            (2) Contents.--The study shall include analysis and 
        documentation regarding whether the Study Area--

                are best managed through partnerships among public and 
                private entities and by combining diverse and sometimes 
                noncontiguous resources and active communities;
                    (B) reflects traditions, customs, beliefs, and

                concept of a national heritage area;
                    (G) has a potential management entity to work in 
                partnership with residents, business interests, 
                nonprofit organizations, and local and State 
                governments to develop a national heritage area 
                consistent with continued local and State economic 
                activity;

        area designated by this title and wilderness study areas 
        located near lands withdrawn for military use and beneath 
        special use airspace critical to the support of military test 
        and training missions at the Utah Test and Training Range, 
        including the Deep Creek, Fish Springs, Swasey Mountain, Howell

SEC. 1103. MILITARY OPERATIONS AND OVERFLIGHTS, UTAH TEST AND TRAINING 
              RANGE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The testing and development of military weapons systems 
        and the training of military forces are critical to ensuring 
        the national security of the United States.
            (2) The Utah Test and Training Range in the State of Utah 
        is a unique and irreplaceable national asset at the core of the 
        test and training mission of the Department of Defense.
            (3) The Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area designated by 
        section 1105, as well as several wilderness study areas, are 
        located near lands withdrawn for military use or are beneath 
        special use airspace critical to the support of military test 
        and training missions at the Utah Test and Training Range.
            (4) The Utah Test and Training Range and special use 
        airspace withdrawn for military uses create unique management 
        circumstances for the covered wilderness in this title, and it 
        is not the intent of Congress that passage of this title shall 
        be construed as establishing a precedent with respect to any 
        future national conservation area or wilderness designation.
            (5) Continued access to the special use airspace and lands 
        that comprise the Utah Test and Training Range, under the terms 
        and conditions described in this section, is a national 
        security priority and is not incompatible with the protection 
        and proper management of the natural, environmental, cultural, 
        and other resources of such lands.
    (b) Overflights.--Nothing in this title or the Wilderness Act shall 
preclude low-level overflights and operations of military aircraft, 
helicopters, missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles over the covered 
wilderness, including military overflights and operations that can be 
seen or heard within the covered wilderness.
    (c) Special Use Airspace and Training Routes.--Nothing in this 
title or the Wilderness Act shall preclude the designation of new units 
of special use airspace, the expansion of existing units of special use 
airspace, or the use or establishment of military training routes over 
the covered wilderness.
    (d) Communications and Tracking Systems.--Nothing in this title 
shall prevent any required maintenance of existing communications, 
instrumentation, or electronic tracking systems (or infrastructure 
supporting such systems) or prevent the installation of new 
communication, instrumentation, or other equipment necessary for 
effective testing and training to meet military requirements in 
wilderness study areas located beneath special use airspace comprising 
the Utah Test and Training Range, including the Deep Creek, Fish 
Springs, Swasey Mountain, Howell Peak, Notch Peak, King Top, Wah Wah 
Mountain, and Conger Mountain units designated by the Department of 
Interior, so long as the Secretary of the Interior, after consultation 
with the Secretary of the Air Force, determines that the installation 
and maintenance of such systems, when considered both individually and 
collectively, comply with section 603 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1782).
    (e) Emergency Access and Response.--Nothing in this title or the 
Wilderness Act shall preclude the continuation of the memorandum of 
understanding in existence as of the date of enactment of this title 
between the Department of the Interior and the Department of the Air 
Force with respect to emergency access and response.
    (f) Prohibition on Ground Military Operations.--Except as provided 
in subsections (d) and (e), nothing in this section shall be construed 
to permit a military operation to be conducted on the ground in covered 
wilderness in the Utah Test and Training Range unless such ground 
operation is otherwise permissible under Federal law and consistent 
with the Wilderness Act.

shall not grant or issue any authorizations for rights-of-way under 
section 501(a)(6) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 
(43 U.S.C. 1761(a)(6)) upon Federal lands identified as inventory units

    (a) Designation.--Certain Federal lands in Tooele County, Utah, as 
generally depicted on the map entitled ``Cedar Mountain Wilderness'' 
and dated March 7, 2004, are hereby designated as wilderness and, 
therefore, as a component of the National Wilderness Preservation 
System to be known as the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area.
    (b) Withdrawal.--Subject to valid existing rights, the Federal 
lands in the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area are hereby withdrawn from 
all forms of entry, appropriation, or disposal under the public land 
laws, from location, entry, and patent under the United States mining 
laws, and from disposition under all laws pertaining to mineral and 
geothermal leasing, and mineral materials, and all amendments to such 
laws.
    (c) Map and Description.--(1) As soon as practicable after the date 
of the enactment of this title, the Secretary of the Interior shall 
transmit a map and legal description of the Cedar Mountain Wilderness 
Area to the Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives and 
the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate.
    (2) The map and legal description shall have the same force and 
effect as if included in this title, except that the Secretary of the 
Interior may correct clerical and typographical errors in the map and 
legal description.
    (3) The map and legal description shall be on file and available 
for public inspection in the office of the Director of the Bureau of 
Land Management and the office of the State Director of the Bureau of 
Land Management in the State of Utah.
    (d) Administration.--Subject to valid existing rights and this 
title, the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area shall be administered by the 
Secretary of the Interior in accordance with the provisions of the 
Wilderness Act, except that any reference in such provisions to the 
effective date of the Wilderness Act (or any similar reference) shall 
be deemed to be a reference to the date of the enactment of this title.
    (e) Land Acquisition.--Any lands or interest in lands within the 
boundaries of the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area acquired by the United 
States after the date of the enactment of this Act shall be added to 
and administered as part of the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area.
    (f) Fish and Wildlife Management.--As provided in section 4(d)(7) 
of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(7)), nothing in this title 
shall be construed as affecting the jurisdiction of the State of Utah 
with respect to fish and wildlife on the Federal lands located in that 
State.
    (g) Grazing.--Within the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area, the 
grazing of livestock, where established before the date of the 
enactment of this title, shall be permitted to continue subject to such 
reasonable regulations, policies, and practices as the Secretary of the 
Interior considers necessary, as long as such regulations, policies, 
and practices fully conform with and implement the intent of Congress 
regarding grazing in such areas, as such intent is expressed in the 
Wilderness Act, section 101(f) of Public Law 101-628 (104 Stat. 4473), 
and appendix A of the Report of the Committee on Interior and Insular 
Affairs to accompany H.R. 2570 of the 101st Congress (H. Rept. 101-
405).
    (h) Buffer Zones.--Congress does not intend for the designation of 
the Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area to lead to the creation of 
protective perimeters or buffer zones around the wilderness area. The 
fact that nonwilderness activities or uses can be seen or heard within 
the wilderness area shall not, of itself, preclude such activities or 
uses up to the boundary of the wilderness area.
    (i) Release From Wilderness Study Area Status.--The lands 
identified as the Browns Spring Cherrystem on the map entitled 
``Proposed Browns Spring Cherrystem'' and dated May 11, 2004, are

longer be subject to the requirements of section 603(c) of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1782(c)) pertaining 
to the management of wilderness study areas in a manner that does not 
impair the suitability of those areas for preservation of wilderness.

subsection (a), the Secretary of the Interior shall--
            (1) consult with leaders of the Tribe and the Governor of 
        Utah; and
            (2) ensure that the land has ready access to State or

            (1) affects any valid right-of-way, lease, permit, mining 
        claim, grazing permit, water right, or other right or interest 
        of any person or entity (other than the United States) in or to 
        the trust land that exists before the date on which the land is

        claim of the Tribe to any land or interest in land based on 
        Aboriginal or Indian title that exists before the date of the 
        enactment of this title;
            (3) constitutes an express or implied reservation of water 
        or water right for any purpose with respect to the trust land; 
        or
            (4) affects any water right of the Tribe that exists before
