SEC. 404. ADMINISTRATION.

    (a) Management.--Subject to valid existing rights, the wilderness 
areas shall be administered by the Secretary in accordance with the 
Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), except that--
            (1) any reference in that Act to the effective date of that 
        Act shall be considered to be a reference to the date of 
        enactment of this Act; and
            (2) any reference in that Act to the Secretary of 
        Agriculture shall be considered to be a reference to the 
        Secretary.
    (b) Incorporation of Acquired Land and Interests.--Any land or 
interest in land within the boundaries of a wilderness area that is 
acquired by the United States after the date of enactment of this Act 
shall be added to, and administered as part of, the wilderness area 
within which the acquired land or interest is located.
    (c) Water Rights.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
                    (A) the land designated as a wilderness area--
                            (i) is within the Mojave Desert;
                            (ii) is arid in nature; and
                            (iii) includes ephemeral streams;
                    (B) the hydrology of the land designated as a 
                wilderness area is locally characterized by complex 
                flow patterns and alluvial fans with impermanent 
                channels;
                    (C) the subsurface hydrogeology of the region 
                within which the land designated as a wilderness area 
                is located is characterized by ground water subject to 
                local and regional flow gradients and artesian 
                aquifers;
                    (D) the land designated as a wilderness area is 
                generally not suitable for use or development of new 
                water resource facilities;
                    (E) there are no actual or proposed water resource 
                facilities and no opportunities for diversion, storage, 
                or other uses of water occurring outside the land 
                designated as a wilderness area that would adversely 
                affect the wilderness or other values of the land; and
                    (F) because of the unique nature and hydrology of 
                the desert land designated as a wilderness area and the 
                existence of the Clark County Multi-Species Habitat 
                Conservation Plan, it is possible to provide for proper 
                management and protection of the wilderness, perennial 
                springs, and other values of the land in ways different 
                than the methods used in other laws.
            (2) Statutory construction.--
                    (A) No reservation.--Nothing in this title 
                constitutes an express or implied reservation by the 
                United States of any water or water rights with respect 
                to the land designated as a wilderness area.
                    (B) State rights.--Nothing in this title affects 
                any water rights in the State existing on the date of 
                enactment of this Act, including any water rights held 
                by the United States.
                    (C) No precedent.--Nothing in this subsection 
                establishes a precedent with regard to any future 
                wilderness designations.
                    (D) No effect on compacts.--Nothing in this title 
                limits, alters, modifies, or amends any of the 
                interstate compacts or equitable apportionment decrees 
                that apportion water among and between the State and 
                other States.
                    (E) Clark county multi-species habitat conservation 
                plan.--Nothing in this title limits, alters, modifies, 
                or amends the Clark County Multi-Species Habitat 
                Conservation Plan with respect to the land designated 
                as a wilderness area, including specific management 
                actions for the conservation of perennial springs.
            (3) Nevada water law.--The Secretary shall follow the 
        procedural and substantive requirements of State law in order 
        to obtain and hold any water rights not in existence on the 
        date of enactment of this Act with respect to the land 
        designated as a wilderness area.
            (4) New projects.--
                    (A) Definition.--
                            (i) In general.--In this paragraph, the 
                        term ``water resource facility'' means 
                        irrigation and pumping facilities, reservoirs, 
                        water conservation works, aqueducts, canals, 
                        ditches, pipelines, wells, hydropower projects, 
                        and transmission and other ancillary 
                        facilities, and other water diversion, storage, 
                        and carriage structures.
                            (ii) Exclusion.--In this paragraph, the 
                        term ``water resource facility'' does not 
                        include wildlife guzzlers.
                    (B) No licenses or permits.--Except as otherwise 
                provided in this title, on and after the date of 
                enactment of this Act, neither the President nor any 
                other officer, employee, or agent of the United States 
                shall fund, assist, authorize, or issue a license or 
                permit for the development of any new water resource 
                facility within the land designated as a wilderness 
                area.
    (d) Withdrawal.--Subject to valid existing rights, any Federal land 
within the wilderness areas, including any land or interest in land 
that is acquired by the United States within the Gold Butte National 
Monument after the date of enactment of this Act, is withdrawn from--
            (1) entry, appropriation, or disposal under the public land 
        laws;
            (2) location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and
            (3) operation of the mineral leasing, mineral materials, 
        and geothermal leasing laws.

SEC. 405. ADJACENT MANAGEMENT.

    (a) No Buffer Zones.--Congress does not intend for the designation 
of land as wilderness areas to lead to the creation of protective 
perimeters or buffer zones around the wilderness areas.
    (b) Nonwilderness Activities.--The fact that nonwilderness 
activities or uses can be seen or heard from areas within a wilderness 
area shall not preclude the conduct of those activities or uses outside 
the boundary of the wilderness area.

SEC. 406. MILITARY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND EMERGENCY OVERFLIGHTS.

    Nothing in this title restricts or precludes--
            (1) low-level overflights of military, law enforcement, or 
        emergency medical services aircraft over the area designated as 
        wilderness by this title, including military, law enforcement, 
        or emergency medical services overflights that can be seen or 
        heard within the wilderness area;
            (2) flight testing and evaluation; or
            (3) the designation or creation of new units of special use 
        airspace, or the establishment of military, law enforcement, or 
        emergency medical services flight training routes, over the 
        wilderness area.

SEC. 407. RELEASE OF WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS.

    (a) Finding.--Congress finds that, for the purposes of section 603 
of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1782), 
the Bureau of Land Management land in any portion of the wilderness 
study areas located within the Gold Butte National Monument not 
designated as a wilderness area has been adequately studied for 
wilderness designation.
    (b) Release.--Any Bureau of Land Management land described in 
subsection (a) that is not designated as a wilderness area--
            (1) is no longer subject to section 603(c) of the Federal 
        Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1782(c));
            (2) shall be managed in accordance with--
                    (A) the land management plans adopted under section 
                202 of that Act (43 U.S.C. 1712); and
                    (B) cooperative conservation agreements in 
                existence on the date of enactment of this Act; and
            (3) shall be subject to--
                    (A) the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
                1531 et seq.); and
                    (B) title I.

SEC. 408. NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS USES.

    Nothing in this title diminishes--
            (1) the rights of any Indian Tribe; or
            (2) Tribal rights regarding access to Federal land for 
        Tribal activities, including spiritual, cultural, and 
        traditional food-gathering activities.

SEC. 409. WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT.

    (a) In General.--In accordance with section 4(d)(7) of the 
Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(7)), nothing in this title affects or 
diminishes the jurisdiction of the State with respect to fish and 
wildlife management, including the regulation of hunting, fishing, and 
trapping, in the wilderness areas.
    (b) Management Activities.--
            (1) In general.--In furtherance of the purposes and 
        principles of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), 
        management activities to maintain or restore fish and wildlife 
        populations and the habitats to support the populations may be 
        carried out within the wilderness areas, if the activities--
                    (A) are consistent with relevant wilderness 
                management plans; and
                    (B) are carried out in accordance with appropriate 
                policies, such as those set forth in Appendix B of 
                House Report 101-405.
            (2) Use of motorized vehicles.--The management activities 
        under paragraph (1) may include the occasional and temporary 
        use of motorized vehicles, if the use, as determined by the 
        Secretary, would--
                    (A) promote healthy, viable, and more naturally 
                distributed wildlife populations that would enhance 
                wilderness values; and
                    (B) accomplish the purposes described in 
                subparagraph (A) with the minimum impact necessary to 
                reasonably accomplish the task.
    (c) Existing Activities.--Consistent with section 4(d)(1) of the 
Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)) and in accordance with

helicopters) to survey, capture, transplant, monitor, and provide water 
for wildlife populations, including bighorn sheep, and feral stock, 
horses, and burros.
    (d) Wildlife Water Development Projects.--Subject to subsection 
(f), the Secretary shall authorize structures and facilities, including 
existing structures and facilities, for wildlife water development 
projects, including guzzlers, in the wilderness areas if--
            (1) the structures and facilities will, as determined by 
        the Secretary, enhance wilderness values by promoting healthy, 
        viable and more naturally distributed wildlife populations; and
            (2) the visual impacts of the structures and facilities on 
        the wilderness areas can reasonably be minimized.
    (e) Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary may designate, by 
        regulation, areas in which, and establish periods during which, 
        for reasons of public safety, administration, or compliance 
        with applicable laws, no hunting, fishing, or trapping will be 
        permitted in the wilderness areas.
            (2) Consultation.--Except in emergencies, the Secretary 
        shall consult with the appropriate State agency before 
        promulgating regulations under paragraph (1).
    (f) Cooperative Agreement.--The State, including a designee of the 
State, may conduct wildlife management activities in the wilderness 
areas--
            (1) in accordance with the terms and conditions specified 
        in the cooperative agreement between the Secretary and the 
        State entitled ``Memorandum of Understanding between the Bureau 
        of Land Management and the Nevada Department of Wildlife 
        Supplement No. 9'' and signed November and December 2003, 
        including any amendments to the cooperative agreement agreed to 
        by the Secretary and the State; and
            (2) subject to all applicable laws (including regulations).

SEC. 410. WILDFIRE, INSECT, AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT.

    (a) In General.--In accordance with section 4(d)(1) of the 
Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)), the Secretary may take such 
measures in each wilderness area as the Secretary determines to be 
necessary for the control of fire, insects, and diseases (including, as 
the Secretary determines to be appropriate, the coordination of the 
activities with a State or local agency).
    (b) Effect.--Nothing in this title precludes a Federal, State, or 
local agency from conducting wildfire management operations (including 
operations using aircraft or mechanized equipment) in accordance with 
section 4(d)(1) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)).

SEC. 411. CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA COLLECTION.

    Subject to such terms and conditions as the Secretary may require, 
nothing in this title precludes the installation and maintenance of 
hydrologic, meteorologic, or climatological collection devices in the 
wilderness areas if the facilities and access to the facilities are 
essential to flood warning, flood control, and water reservoir 
operation activities.
                                 <all>
