SEC. 2. SEDONA-RED ROCK NATIONAL SCENIC AREA, COCONINO NATIONAL FOREST, 
              ARIZONA.

    (a) Establishment.--There is established in the Coconino National 
Forest, Arizona, the Sedona-Red Rock National Scenic Area (in this 
section referred to as the ``Scenic Area'') for the purposes of--
            (1) limiting exchanges of land involving National Forest 
        System land included in the Scenic Area; and
            (2) managing the National Forest System land included in 
        the Scenic Area as provided in the land and resource management 
        plan for the Coconino National Forest.
    (b) Boundaries.--The Scenic Area shall consist of approximately 
160,000 acres of National Forest System land in the Coconino National 
Forest, as generally depicted on the map entitled ``Sedona-Red Rocks 
National Scenic Area'' and dated June 7, 2010. The Scenic Area shall 
not include any land located outside the boundaries of the Coconino 
National Forest.
    (c) Map and Boundary Description.--As soon as practicable after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture shall 
file a map and boundary description of the Scenic Area with the 
Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. The map and 
boundary description shall have the same force and effect as if 
included in this Act, except that the Secretary may correct clerical 
and typographical errors in the map and description. The map and 
boundary description shall be on file and available for public 
inspection in the Office of the Chief of the Forest Service.
    (d) Administration.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall administer 
the Scenic Area in accordance with this Act, the land and resource 
management plan for the Coconino National Forest (including any 
subsequent amendment or revision of the plan), and the laws and 
regulations generally applicable to the National Forest System. In the 
event of conflict between this Act and such other laws and regulations, 
this Act shall take precedence.
    (e) Restriction on Scenic Area Land Exchanges.--With regard to 
acquisitions of land for public purposes, land exchanges that dispose 
of National Forest System land included in the Scenic Area may occur 
only if--
            (1) the exchange results in the acquisition of land within 
        the boundaries of the Scenic Area from a willing seller for 
        inclusion in the Scenic Area;
            (2) there is no net loss of National Forest System land 
        within the boundaries of the Scenic Area; and
            (3) an environmental analysis in accordance with the 
        National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 
        seq.) and consistent with the applicable forest plan amendment 
        is completed before any land exchange within the boundaries of 
        the Scenic Area.
    (f) Deposit of Consideration From Certain Land Sales; Use.--
            (1) Deposit of proceeds.--Moneys received by the Secretary 
        of Agriculture from the sale or exchange of land located in the 
        Coconino National Forest shall be deposited in the fund 
        established by Public Law 90-171 (commonly known as the Sisk 
        Act; 16 U.S.C. 484a).
            (2) Use of funds.--Notwithstanding the limitations on the 
        use of moneys deposited in the fund established by Public Law 
        90-171, moneys deposited under paragraph (1) shall be available 
        for use by the Secretary of Agriculture, without further 
        appropriation and until expended, for the acquisition of land 
        or interests in land within the National Forest System in 
        Arizona.
    (g) No Effect on Surrounding Land, Roads, or Easements.--The 
establishment of the Scenic Area does not affect--
            (1) the maintenance or use of public, private, or Forest 
        Service roads within the Scenic Area;
            (2) the legal status, maintenance, or use of rights-of-way 
        and utility easements within the Scenic Area;
            (3) the management of State, municipal, or private land 
        located in the vicinity of or within the boundaries of the 
        Scenic Area;
            (4) the management of National Forest System land that is 
        not included in the Scenic Area; or
            (5) the construction or siting of transportation projects 
        or water projects (and associated facilities) within the Scenic 
        Area or in areas outside the Scenic Area.
    (h) No Cause of Action.--Nothing in this Act creates a private 
cause of action in any Federal, state or tribal court.
