        1131 et seq.) and this section, except that, with respect to 
        any wilderness areas designated by this section, any reference 
        in the Wilderness Act to the effective date of the Wilderness 
        Act shall be deemed to be a reference to the date of enactment 
        of this Act.
            (B) To fulfill the purposes of this section and the 
        Wilderness Act and to achieve administrative efficiencies, the 
        Secretary of Agriculture may manage the area designated by this 
        section as a comprehensive part of the larger complex of 
        adjacent and nearby wilderness areas.
        (2) New trails.--
            (A) The Secretary of Agriculture shall consult with

    Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to use helicopter access to 
    construct and maintain a joint Forest Service and Snohomish County

    Service approved communications site plan, for the purposes of 
    improving communications for safety, health, and emergency 
    services.
        (4) Float plane access.--As provided by section 4(d)(1) of the 
    Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)), the use of floatplanes on 
    Lake Isabel, where such use has already become established, shall 
    be permitted to continue subject to such reasonable restrictions as 
    the Secretary of Agriculture determines to be desirable.
        (5) Evergreen mountain lookout.--The designation under this

    acres on the Wenatchee National Forest in the State of Washington.
        (3) The exchange directed by this section shall be consummated 
    if Chelan County Public Utility District conveys title acceptable 
    to the Secretary and provided there is no hazardous material on the 
    site, which is objectionable to the Secretary.
        (4) In the event Chelan County Public Utility District 
    determines there is no longer a need to maintain a telemetry site 
    to monitor the snow pack for calculating expected runoff into the 
    Lake Chelan hydroelectric project and the hydroelectric projects in 
    the Columbia River Basin, the Secretary shall be notified in 
    writing and the easement shall be extinguished and all rights

            Subtitle D--Memorials, Commissions, and Museums

    SEC. 331. COMMEMORATIVE WORK TO HONOR BRIGADIER GENERAL FRANCIS 
      MARION AND HIS FAMILY.
    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
        (1) Francis Marion was born in 1732 in St. John's Parish, 
    Berkeley County, South Carolina. He married Mary Esther Videau on 
    April 20th, 1786. Francis and Mary Esther Marion had no children, 
    but raised a son of a relative as their own, and gave the child 
    Francis Marion's name.
        (2) Brigadier General Marion commanded the Williamsburg Militia 
    Revolutionary force in South Carolina and was instrumental in 
    delaying the advance of British forces by leading his troops in 
    disrupting supply lines.
        (3) Brigadier General Marion's tactics, which were unheard of 
    in rules of warfare at the time, included lightning raids on 
    British convoys, after which he and his forces would retreat into 
    the swamps to avoid capture. British Lieutenant Colonel Tarleton 
    stated that ``as for this damned old swamp fox, the devil himself 
    could not catch him''. Thus, the legend of the ``Swamp Fox'' was 
    born.
        (4) His victory at the Battle of Eutaw Springs in September of 
    1781 was officially recognized by Congress.
        (5) Brigadier General Marion's troops are believed to be the 
    first racially integrated force fighting for the United States, as 
    his band was a mix of Whites, Blacks, both free and slave, and 
    Native Americans.
        (6) As a statesman, he represented his parish in the South 
    Carolina senate as well as his State at the Constitutional 
    Convention.
        (7) Although the Congress has authorized the establishment of 
    commemorative works on Federal lands in the District of Columbia 
    honoring such celebrated Americans as George Washington, Thomas 
    Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln, the National Capital has no 
    comparable memorial to Brigadier General Francis Marion for his 
    bravery and leadership during the Revolutionary War, without which 
    the United States would not exist.
        (8) Brigadier General Marion's legacy must live on. Since 1878, 
    United States Reservation 18 has been officially referred to as 
    Marion Park. Located between 4th and 6th Streets, S.E., at the 
    intersection of E Street and South Carolina Avenue, S.E., in 
    Washington, DC, the park lacks a formal commemoration to this South 
    Carolina hero who was important to the initiation of the Nation's 
    heritage.
        (9) The time has come to correct this oversight so that future 
    generations of Americans will know and understand the preeminent 
    historical and lasting significance to the Nation of Brigadier 
    General Marion's contributions. Such a South Carolina hero deserves 
    to be given the proper recognition.
    (b) Authority To Establish Commemorative Work.--The Marion Park 
Project, a committee of the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, may 
establish a commemorative work on Federal land in the District of 
Columbia and its environs to honor Brigadier General Francis Marion and 
his service.
    (c) Compliance With Standards for Commemorative Works.--The 
commemorative work authorized by subsection (b) shall be established in 
accordance with chapter 89 of title 40, United States Code (commonly 
known as the ``Commemorative Works Act'').
    (d) Use of Federal Funds Prohibited.--Federal funds may not be used 
to pay any expense of the establishment of the commemorative work 
authorized by subsection (b). The Marion Park Project, a committee of 
the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, shall be solely responsible for 
acceptance of contributions for, and payment of the expenses of, the 
establishment of that commemorative work.
    (e) Deposit of Excess Funds.--If, upon payment of all expenses of 
the establishment of the commemorative work authorized by subsection 
(b) (including the maintenance and preservation amount provided for in 
section 8906(b) of title 40, United States Code), or upon expiration of 
the authority for the commemorative work under chapter 89 of title 40, 
United States Code, there remains a balance of funds received for the 
establishment of that commemorative work, the Marion Park Project, a 
committee of the Palmetto Conservation Foundation, shall transmit the 
amount of the balance to the Secretary of the Treasury for deposit in 
the account provided for in section 8906(b)(1) of such title.
    (f) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section, the terms 
``commemorative work'' and ``the District of Columbia and its 
environs'' have the meanings given to such terms in section 8902(a) of 
title 40, United States Code.

    SEC. 344. WILD AND SCENIC RIVER DESIGNATION, EIGHTMILE RIVER, 
      CONNECTICUT.
    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) The Eightmile River Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2001 
    (Public Law 107-65; 115 Stat. 484) authorized the study of the 
    Eightmile River in the State of Connecticut from its headwaters 
    downstream to its confluence with the Connecticut River for 
    potential inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
        (2) The segments of the Eightmile River covered by the study 
    are in a free-flowing condition, and the outstanding resource 
    values of the river segments include the cultural landscape, water 
    quality, watershed hydrology, unique species and natural 
    communities, geology, and watershed ecosystem.
        (3) The Eightmile River Wild and Scenic Study Committee has 
    determined that--
            (A) the outstanding resource values of these river segments 
        depend on sustaining the integrity and quality of the Eightmile 
        River watershed;
            (B) these resource values are manifest within the entire 
        watershed; and
            (C) the watershed as a whole, including its protection, is 
        itself intrinsically important to this designation.
        (4) The Eightmile River Wild and Scenic Study Committee took a 
    watershed approach in studying and recommending management options 
    for the river segments and the Eightmile River watershed as a 
    whole.
        (5) During the study, the Eightmile River Wild and Scenic Study 
    Committee, with assistance from the National Park Service, prepared 
    a comprehensive management plan for the Eightmile River watershed, 
    dated December 8, 2005 (in this section referred to as the 
    ``Eightmile River Watershed Management Plan''), which establishes 
    objectives, standards, and action programs that will ensure long-
    term protection of the outstanding values of the river and 
    compatible management of the land and water resources of the 
    Eightmile River and its watershed, without Federal management of 
    affected lands not owned by the United States.
        (6) The Eightmile River Wild and Scenic Study Committee voted 
    in favor of inclusion of the Eightmile River in the National Wild 
    and Scenic Rivers System and included this recommendation as an 
    integral part of the Eightmile River Watershed Management Plan.
        (7) The residents of the towns lying along the Eightmile River 
    and comprising most of its watershed (Salem, East Haddam, and Lyme, 
    Connecticut), as well as the Boards of Selectmen and Land Use 
    Commissions of these towns, voted to endorse the Eightmile River 
    Watershed Management Plan and to seek designation of the river as a 
    component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
        (8) The State of Connecticut General Assembly enacted Public 
    Act 05-18 to endorse the Eightmile River Watershed Management Plan 
    and to seek designation of the river as a component of the National 
    Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
    (b) Designation.--Section 3(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act 
(16 U.S.C. 1274(a)) is amended--
        (1) by redesignating paragraph (167) (relating to the 
    Musconetcong River, New Jersey) as paragraph (169);
        (2) by designating the undesignated paragraph relating to the 
    White Salmon River, Washington, as paragraph (167);
        (3) by designating the undesignated paragraph relating to the 
    Black Butte River, California, as paragraph (168); and
        (4) by adding at the end the following:

Act (16 U.S.C. 1281(e), 1282(b)(1)) with the State of Connecticut, the 
towns of Salem, Lyme, and East Haddam, Connecticut, and appropriate 
local planning and environmental organizations. All cooperative 
agreements authorized by this subsection shall be consistent with the 
Eightmile River Watershed Management Plan and may include provisions 
for financial or other assistance from the United States.
    (f) Relation to National Park System.--Notwithstanding section 
10(c) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1281(c)), the 
Eightmile River shall not be administered as part of the National Park 
System or be subject to regulations which govern the National Park 
System.
    (g) Land Management.--The zoning ordinances adopted by the towns of 
Salem, East Haddam, and Lyme, Connecticut, in effect as of December 8, 
2005, including provisions for conservation of floodplains, wetlands, 
and watercourses associated with the segments, are deemed to satisfy 
the standards and requirements of section 6(c) of the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1277 (c)). For the purpose of section 6(c) of 
that Act, such towns shall be deemed ``villages'' and the provisions of 
that section, which prohibit Federal acquisition of lands by 
condemnation, shall apply to the segments designated by subsection (b). 
The authority of the Secretary to acquire lands for the purposes of 
this section shall be limited to acquisition by donation or acquisition 
with the consent of the owner thereof, and shall be subject to the 
additional criteria set forth in the Eightmile River Watershed 
Management Plan.
    (h) Watershed Approach.--
        (1) In general.--In furtherance of the watershed approach to 
    resource preservation and enhancement articulated in the Eightmile 
    River Watershed Management Plan, the tributaries of the Eightmile 
    River watershed specified in paragraph (2) are recognized as

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
        (1) development of energy resources, including oil, natural 
    gas, coalbed methane, and geothermal resources, frequently results 
    in bringing to the surface water extracted from underground 
    sources;

    purposes, but most of the water is returned to the subsurface or 
    otherwise disposed of as waste;
        (3) reducing the quantity of produced water returned to the 
    subsurface and increasing the quantity of produced water that is 
    made available for irrigation and other uses--
            (A) would augment water supplies;
            (B) could reduce the costs to energy developers for 
        disposing of the water; and
            (C) in some cases, could increase the efficiency of energy 
        development activities; and

                  TITLE VII--NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS
              Subtitle A--Immigration, Security, and Labor

    SEC. 701. STATEMENT OF CONGRESSIONAL INTENT.
    (a) Immigration and Growth.--In recognition of the need to ensure 
uniform adherence to long-standing fundamental immigration policies of 
the United States, it is the intention of the Congress in enacting this 
subtitle--
        (1) to ensure that effective border control procedures are 
    implemented and observed, and that national security and homeland 
    security issues are properly addressed, by extending the 
    immigration laws (as defined in section 101(a)(17) of the 
    Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 (a)(17)), to apply 
    to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (referred to in 
    this subtitle as the ``Commonwealth''), with special provisions to 
    allow for--
            (A) the orderly phasing-out of the nonresident contract 
        worker program of the Commonwealth; and
            (B) the orderly phasing-in of Federal responsibilities over 
        immigration in the Commonwealth; and
        (2) to minimize, to the greatest extent practicable, potential 
    adverse economic and fiscal effects of phasing-out the 
    Commonwealth's nonresident contract worker program and to maximize 
    the Commonwealth's potential for future economic and business 
    growth by--
            (A) encouraging diversification and growth of the economy 
        of the Commonwealth in accordance with fundamental values 
        underlying Federal immigration policy;
            (B) recognizing local self-government, as provided for in 
        the Covenant To Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern 
        Mariana Islands in Political Union With the United States of 
        America through consultation with the Governor of the 
        Commonwealth;
            (C) assisting the Commonwealth in achieving a progressively 
        higher standard of living for citizens of the Commonwealth 
        through the provision of technical and other assistance;
            (D) providing opportunities for individuals authorized to 
        work in the United States, including citizens of the freely 
        associated states; and
            (E) providing a mechanism for the continued use of alien 
        workers, to the extent those workers continue to be necessary 
        to supplement the Commonwealth's resident workforce, and to 
        protect those workers from the potential for abuse and 
        exploitation.
    (b) Avoiding Adverse Effects.--In recognition of the Commonwealth's 
unique economic circumstances, history, and geographical location, it 
is the intent of the Congress that the Commonwealth be given as much 
flexibility as possible in maintaining existing businesses and other 
revenue sources, and developing new economic opportunities, consistent 
with the mandates of this subtitle. This subtitle, and the amendments 
made by this subtitle, should be implemented wherever possible to 
expand tourism and economic development in the Commonwealth, including 
aiding prospective tourists in gaining access to the Commonwealth's 
memorials, beaches, parks, dive sites, and other points of interest.
    SEC. 702. IMMIGRATION REFORM FOR THE COMMONWEALTH.
    (a) Amendment to Joint Resolution Approving Covenant Establishing 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.--The Joint Resolution 
entitled ``A Joint Resolution to approve the `Covenant To Establish a 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with 
the United States of America', and for other purposes'', approved March 
24, 1976 (Public Law 94-241; 90 Stat. 263), is amended by adding at the 
end the following new section:
``SEC. 6. IMMIGRATION AND TRANSITION.
    ``(a) Application of the Immigration and Nationality Act and 
Establishment of a Transition Program.--
        ``(1) In general.--Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), effective 
    on the first day of the first full month commencing 1 year after 
    the date of enactment of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 
    2008 (hereafter referred to as the `transition program effective 
    date'), the provisions of the `immigration laws' (as defined in 
    section 101(a)(17) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
    1101(a)(17))) shall apply to the Commonwealth of the Northern 
    Mariana Islands (referred to in this section as the 
    `Commonwealth'), except as otherwise provided in this section.
        ``(2) Transition period.--There shall be a transition period 
    beginning on the transition program effective date and ending on 
    December 31, 2014, except as provided in subsections (b) and (d), 
    during which the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation 
    with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of 
    Labor, and the Secretary of the Interior, shall establish, 
    administer, and enforce a transition program to regulate 
    immigration to the Commonwealth, as provided in this section 
    (hereafter referred to as the `transition program').
        ``(3) Delay of commencement of transition period.--
            ``(A) In general.--The Secretary of Homeland Security, in 
        the Secretary's sole discretion, in consultation with the 
        Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Labor, the 
        Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Governor of 
        the Commonwealth, may determine that the transition program

        180 days after such date.
            ``(B) Congressional notification.--The Secretary of 
        Homeland Security shall notify the Congress of a determination 
        under subparagraph (A) not later than 30 days prior to the

            ``(C) Congressional review.--A delay of the transition 
        program effective date shall not take effect until 30 days 
        after the date on which the notification under subparagraph (B) 
        is made.

    Security, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Labor, and the 
    Secretary of the Interior shall negotiate and implement agreements 
    among their agencies to identify and assign their respective duties 
    so as to ensure timely and proper implementation of the provisions 
    of this section. The agreements should address, at a minimum, 
    procedures to ensure that Commonwealth employers have access to 
    adequate labor, and that tourists, students, retirees, and other 
    visitors have access to the Commonwealth without unnecessary delay 
    or impediment. The agreements may also allocate funding between the 
    respective agencies tasked with various responsibilities under this 
    section.
        ``(6) Certain education funding.--In addition to fees charged 
    pursuant to section 286(m) of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
    (8 U.S.C. 1356(m)) to recover the full costs of providing 
    adjudication services, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall 
    charge an annual supplemental fee of $150 per nonimmigrant worker 
    to each prospective employer who is issued a permit under 
    subsection (d) of this section during the transition period. Such 
    supplemental fee shall be paid into the Treasury of the 
    Commonwealth government for the purpose of funding ongoing 
    vocational educational curricula and program development by 
    Commonwealth educational entities.
        ``(7) Asylum.--Section 208 of the Immigration and Nationality 
    Act (8 U.S.C. 1158) shall not apply during the transition period to 
    persons physically present in the Commonwealth or arriving in the 
    Commonwealth (whether or not at a designated port of arrival), 
    including persons brought to the Commonwealth after having been 
    interdicted in international or United States waters.
    ``(b) Numerical Limitations for Nonimmigrant Workers.--An alien, if 
otherwise qualified, may seek admission to Guam or to the Commonwealth 
during the transition program as a nonimmigrant worker under section 
101(a)(15)(H) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
1101(a)(15)(H)) without counting against the numerical limitations set 
forth in section 214(g) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1184(g)). This subsection 
does not apply to any employment to be performed outside of Guam or the 
Commonwealth. Not later than 3 years following the transition program 
effective date, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall issue a report 
to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the Committee on 
the Judiciary of the Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources and 
the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives 
projecting the number of asylum claims the Secretary anticipates 
following the termination of the transition period, the efforts the 
Secretary has made to ensure appropriate interdiction efforts, provide 
for appropriate treatment of asylum seekers, and prepare to accept and 
adjudicate asylum claims in the Commonwealth.
    ``(c) Nonimmigrant Investor Visas.--
        ``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding the treaty requirements in 
    section 101(a)(15)(E) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 
    U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(E)), during the transition period, the Secretary 
    of Homeland Security may, upon the application of an alien, 
    classify an alien as a CNMI-only nonimmigrant under section 
    101(a)(15)(E)(ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
    1101(a)(15)(E)(ii)) if the alien--
            ``(A) has been admitted to the Commonwealth in long-term 
        investor status under the immigration laws of the Commonwealth 
        before the transition program effective date;
            ``(B) has continuously maintained residence in the 
        Commonwealth under long-term investor status;
            ``(C) is otherwise admissible; and
            ``(D) maintains the investment or investments that formed 
        the basis for such long-term investor status.
        ``(2) Requirement for regulations.--Not later than 60 days 
    before the transition program effective date, the Secretary of 
    Homeland Security shall publish regulations in the Federal Register 
    to implement this subsection.
    ``(d) Special Provision To Ensure Adequate Employment; Commonwealth 
Only Transitional Workers.--An alien who is seeking to enter the 
Commonwealth as a nonimmigrant worker may be admitted to perform work 
during the transition period subject to the following requirements:
        ``(1) Such an alien shall be treated as a nonimmigrant 
    described in section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality 
    Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)), including the ability to apply, if 
    otherwise eligible, for a change of nonimmigrant classification 
    under section 248 of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1258) or adjustment of 
    status under this section and section 245 of such Act (8 U.S.C. 
    1255).
        ``(2) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish, 
    administer, and enforce a system for allocating and determining the 
    number, terms, and conditions of permits to be issued to 
    prospective employers for each such nonimmigrant worker described 
    in this subsection who would not otherwise be eligible for 
    admission under the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 
    et seq.). In adopting and enforcing this system, the Secretary 
    shall also consider, in good faith and not later than 30 days after 
    receipt by the Secretary, any comments and advice submitted by the 
    Governor of the Commonwealth. This system shall provide for a 
    reduction in the allocation of permits for such workers on an 
    annual basisto zero, during a period not to extend beyond December 
    31, 2014, unless extended pursuant to paragraph 5 of this 
    subsection. In no event shall a permit be valid beyond the 
    expiration of the transition period. This system may be based on 
    any reasonable method and criteria determined by the Secretary of 
    Homeland Security to promote the maximum use of, and to prevent 
    adverse effects on wages and working conditions of, workers 
    authorized to be employed in the United States, including lawfully 
    admissible freely associated state citizen labor. No alien shall be 
    granted nonimmigrant classification or a visa under this subsection 
    unless the permit requirements established under this paragraph 
    have been met.
        ``(3) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall set the 
    conditions for admission of such an alien under the transition 
    program, and the Secretary of State shall authorize the issuance of 
    nonimmigrant visas for such an alien. Such a visa shall not be 
    valid for admission to the United States, as defined in section 
    101(a)(38) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
    1101(a)(38)), except admission to the Commonwealth. An alien 
    admitted to the Commonwealth on the basis of such a visa shall be 
    permitted to engage in employment only as authorized pursuant to 
    the transition program.
        ``(4) Such an alien shall be permitted to transfer between 
    employers in the Commonwealth during the period of such alien's 
    authorized stay therein, without permission of the employee's 
    current or prior employer, within the alien's occupational category 
    or another occupational category the Secretary of Homeland Security 
    has found requires alien workers to supplement the resident 
    workforce.
        ``(5)(A) Not later than 180 days prior to the expiration of the 
    transition period, or any extension thereof, the Secretary of 
    Labor, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, the 
    Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Interior, and the 
    Governor of the Commonwealth, shall ascertain the current and 
    anticipated labor needs of the Commonwealth and determine whether 
    an extension of up to 5 years of the provisions of this subsection 
    is necessary to ensure an adequate number of workers will be 
    available for legitimate businesses in the Commonwealth. For the 
    purpose of this subparagraph, a business shall not be considered 
    legitimate if it engages directly or indirectly in prostitution, 
    trafficking in minors, or any other activity that is illegal under 
    Federal or local law. The determinations of whether a business is 
    legitimate and to what extent, if any, it may require alien workers 
    to supplement the resident workforce, shall be made by the 
    Secretary of Homeland Security, in the Secretary's sole discretion.
        ``(B) If the Secretary of Labor determines that such an 
    extension is necessary to ensure an adequate number of workers for 
    legitimate businesses in the Commonwealth, the Secretary of Labor 
    may, through notice published in the Federal Register, provide for 
    an additional extension period of up to 5 years.
        ``(C) In making the determination of whether alien workers are 
    necessary to ensure an adequate number of workers for legitimate 
    businesses in the Commonwealth, and if so, the number of such 
    workers that are necessary, the Secretary of Labor may consider, 
    among other relevant factors--
            ``(i) government, industry, or independent workforce 
        studies reporting on the need, or lack thereof, for alien 
        workers in the Commonwealth's businesses;
            ``(ii) the unemployment rate of United States citizen 
        workers residing in the Commonwealth;
            ``(iii) the unemployment rate of aliens in the Commonwealth 
        who have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence;
            ``(iv) the number of unemployed alien workers in the 
        Commonwealth;
            ``(v) any good faith efforts to locate, educate, train, or 
        otherwise prepare United States citizen residents, lawful 
        permanent residents, and unemployed alien workers already 
        within the Commonwealth, to assume those jobs;
            ``(vi) any available evidence tending to show that United 
        States citizen residents, lawful permanent residents, and 
        unemployed alien workers already in the Commonwealth are not 
        willing to accept jobs of the type offered;
            ``(vii) the extent to which admittance of alien workers 
        will affect the compensation, benefits, and living standards of 
        existing workers within those industries and other industries 
        authorized to employ alien workers; and
            ``(viii) the prior use, if any, of alien workers to fill 
        those industry jobs, and whether the industry requires alien 
        workers to fill those jobs.
        ``(6) The Secretary of Homeland Security may authorize the 
    admission of a spouse or minor child accompanying or following to 
    join a worker admitted pursuant to this subsection.

Law.--

    may be waived by the Secretary of Homeland Security, in the case of 
    an alien applying for admission as a nonimmigrant visitor for 
    business or pleasure and solely for entry into and stay in Guam or 
    the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands for a period not 
    to exceed 45 days, if the Secretary of Homeland Security, after

    the Northern Mariana Islands, determines that--
            ``(A) an adequate arrival and departure control system has

        Mariana Islands; and
            ``(B) such a waiver does not represent a threat to the 
        welfare, safety, or security of the United States or its 
        territories and commonwealths.
        ``(2) Alien waiver of rights.--An alien may not be provided a 
    waiver under this subsection unless the alien has waived any 
    right--
            ``(A) to review or appeal under this Act an immigration 
        officer's determination as to the admissibility of the alien at 
        the port of entry into Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern 
        Mariana Islands; or
            ``(B) to contest, other than on the basis of an application 
        for withholding of removal under section 241(b)(3) of this Act 
        or under the Convention Against Torture, or an application for 
        asylum if permitted under section 208, any action for removal 
        of the alien.
        ``(3) Regulations.--All necessary regulations to implement this 
    subsection shall be promulgated by the Secretary of Homeland 
    Security, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior and 
    the Secretary of State, on or before the 180th day after the date 
    of enactment of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008. The 
    promulgation of such regulations shall be considered a foreign 
    affairs function for purposes of section 553(a) of title 5, United 
    States Code. At a minimum, such regulations should include, but not 
    necessarily be limited to--
            ``(A) a listing of all countries whose nationals may obtain 
        the waiver also provided by this subsection, except that such 
        regulations shall provide for a listing of any country from 
        which the Commonwealth has received a significant economic 
        benefit from the number of visitors for pleasure within the 
        one-year period preceding the date of enactment of the 
        Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008, unless the 
        Secretary of Homeland Security determines that such country's 
        inclusion on such list would represent a threat to the welfare, 
        safety, or security of the United States or its territories; 
        and
            ``(B) any bonding requirements for nationals of some or all 
        of those countries who may present an increased risk of 
        overstays or other potential problems, if different from such 
        requirements otherwise provided by law for nonimmigrant 
        visitors.
        ``(4) Factors.--In determining whether to grant or continue 
    providing the waiver under this subsection to nationals of any 
    country, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with 
    the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of State, shall 
    consider all factors that the Secretary deems relevant, including 
    electronic travel authorizations, procedures for reporting lost and 
    stolen passports, repatriation of aliens, rates of refusal for 
    nonimmigrant visitor visas, overstays, exit systems, and 
    information exchange.
        ``(5) Suspension.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall 
    monitor the admission of nonimmigrant visitors to Guam and the 
    Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands under this subsection. 
    If the Secretary determines that such admissions have resulted in 
    an unacceptable number of visitors from a country remaining 
    unlawfully in Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
    Islands, unlawfully obtaining entry to other parts of the United 
    States, or seeking withholding of removal or asylum, or that 
    visitors from a country pose a risk to law enforcement or security 
    interests of Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
    Islands or of the United States (including the interest in the 
    enforcement of the immigration laws of the United States), the 
    Secretary shall suspend the admission of nationals of such country 
    under this subsection. The Secretary of Homeland Security may in 
    the Secretary's discretion suspend the Guam and Northern Mariana 
    Islands visa waiver program at any time, on a country-by-country 
    basis, for other good cause.
        ``(6) Addition of countries.--The Governor of Guam and the 
    Governor of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands may 
    request the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Homeland 
    Security to add a particular country to the list of countries whose 
    nationals may obtain the waiver provided by this subsection, and 
    the Secretary of Homeland Security may grant such request after 
    consultation with the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary 
    of State, and may promulgate regulations with respect to the 
    inclusion of that country and any special requirements the 
    Secretary of Homeland Security, in the Secretary's sole discretion, 
    may impose prior to allowing nationals of that country to obtain 
    the waiver provided by this subsection.''.
    (c) Special Nonimmigrant Categories for Guam and the Commonwealth 
of the Northern Mariana Islands.--The Governor of Guam and the Governor 
of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (referred to in 
this subsection as ``CNMI'') may request that the Secretary of Homeland 
Security study the feasibility of creating additional Guam or CNMI-only 
nonimmigrant visas to the extent that existing nonimmigrant visa 
categories under the Immigration and Nationality Act do not provide for 
the type of visitor, the duration of allowable visit, or other 
circumstance. The Secretary of Homeland Security may review such a 
request, and, after consultation with the Secretary of State and the 
Secretary of the Interior, shall issue a report to the Committee on 
Energy and Natural Resources and the Committee on the Judiciary of the 
Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources and the Committee on the 
Judiciary of the House of Representatives with respect to the 
feasibility of creating those additional Guam or CNMI-only visa 
categories. Consideration of such additional Guam or CNMI-only visa 
categories may include, but are not limited to, special nonimmigrant 
statuses for investors, students, and retirees, but shall not include 
nonimmigrant status for the purpose of employment in Guam or the CNMI.
    (d) Inspection of Persons Arriving From the Commonwealth of the 
Northern Mariana Islands; Guam and Northern Mariana Islands-Only Visas 
Not Valid for Entry Into Other Parts of the United States.--Section 
212(d)(7) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(7)) 
is amended by inserting ``the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
Islands,'' after ``Guam,''.
    (e) Technical Assistance Program.--

    with the Governor of the Commonwealth, the Secretary of Labor, and 
    the Secretary of Commerce, and as provided in the Interagency

        diversification and growth of, the economy of the Commonwealth;
            (B) technical assistance, including assistance in 
        recruiting, training, and hiring of workers, to assist 
        employers in the Commonwealth in securing employees first from 
        among United States citizens and nationals resident in the 
        Commonwealth and if an adequate number of such workers are not 
        available, from among legal permanent residents, including 
        lawfully admissible citizens of the freely associated states; 
        and

        teachers and students for such skills.
        (2) Consultation.--In providing such technical assistance under 
    paragraph (1), the Secretaries shall--
            (A) consult with the Government of the Commonwealth, local

        experts in the economy of the Commonwealth; and
            (B) assist in the development and implementation of a 
        process to identify opportunities for and encourage 
        diversification and growth of the economy of the Commonwealth 
        and to identify and encourage opportunities to meet the labor 
        needs of the Commonwealth.
        (3) Cost-sharing.--For the provision of technical assistance or 
    support under this paragraph (other than that required to pay the 
    salaries and expenses of Federal personnel), the Secretary of the 
    Interior shall require a non-Federal matching contribution of 10
