                CALIFORNIA DESERT PROTECTION ACT OF 1993

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Also under the previous order, the Senate 
will proceed to the consideration of S. 21, which the clerk will 
report.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A bill (S. 21) to designate certain lands in the California 
     desert as wilderness, to establish Death Valley, Joshua Tree, 
     and Mojave National Parks, and for other purposes.

  The Senate proceeded to consider the bill, which had been reported 
from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, with an amendment 
to strike all after the enacting clause and insert in lieu thereof the 
following:

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``California Desert Protection 
     Act of 1993''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

       (a) The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) the federally owned desert lands of southern California 
     constitute a public wildland resource of extraordinary and 
     inestimable value for this and future generations;
       (2) these desert wildlands display unique scenic, 
     historical, archeological, environmental, ecological, 
     wildlife, cultural, scientific, educational, and recreational 
     values used and enjoyed by millions of Americans for hiking 
     and camping, scientific study and scenic appreciation;
       (3) the public land resources of the California desert now 
     face and are increasingly threatened by adverse pressures 
     which would impair, dilute, and destroy their public and 
     natural values;
       (4) the California desert, embracing wilderness lands, 
     units of the National Park System, other Federal lands, State 
     parks and other State lands, and private lands, constitutes a 
     cohesive unit posing unique and difficult resource protection 
     and management challenges;
       (5) through designation of national monuments by 
     Presidential proclamation, through enactment of general 
     public land statutes (including section 601 of the Federal 
     Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 90 Stat. 2743, 43 
     U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and through interim administrative 
     actions, the Federal government has begun the process of 
     appropriately providing for protection of the significant 
     resources of the public lands in the California desert; and
       (6) statutory land unit designations are needed to afford 
     the full protection which the resources and public land 
     values of the California desert merit.
       (b) In order to secure for the American people of this and 
     future generations an enduring heritage of wilderness, 
     national parks, and public land values in the California 
     desert, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the 
     Congress that--
       (1) appropriate public lands in the California desert shall 
     be included within the National Park System and the National 
     Wilderness Preservation System, in order to--
       (A) preserve unrivaled scenic, geologic, and wildlife 
     values associated with these unique natural landscapes;
       (B) perpetuate in their natural state significant and 
     diverse ecosystems of the California desert;
       (C) protect and preserve historical and cultural values of 
     the California desert associated with ancient Indian 
     cultures, patterns of western exploration and settlement, and 
     sites exemplifying the mining, ranching and railroading 
     history of the Old West;
       (D) provide opportunities for compatible outdoor public 
     recreation, protect and interpret ecological and geological 
     features and historic, paleontological, and archeological 
     sites, maintain wilderness resource values, and promote 
     public understanding and appreciation of the California 
     desert; and
       (E) retain and enhance opportunities for scientific 
     research in undisturbed ecosystems.

  TITLE I--DESIGNATION OF WILDERNESS AREAS TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE 
                       BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) wilderness is a distinguishing characteristic of the 
     public lands in the California desert, one which affords an 
     unrivaled opportunity for experiencing vast areas of the Old 
     West essentially unaltered by man's activities, and which 
     merits preservation for the benefit of present and future 
     generations;
       (2) the wilderness values of desert lands are increasingly 
     threatened by and especially vulnerable to impairment, 
     alteration, and destruction by activities and intrusions 
     associated with incompatible use and development; and
       (3) preservation of desert wilderness necessarily requires 
     the highest forms of protective designation and management.

     administered by the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter in 
     this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') or the Secretary 
     of Agriculture, as appropriate, in accordance with the 
     provisions of the Wilderness Act, except that any reference 
     in such provisions to the effective date of the Wilderness 
     Act shall be deemed to be a reference to the effective date 
     of this title and any reference to the Secretary of 
     Agriculture shall be deemed to be a reference to the 
     Secretary who has administrative jurisdiction over the area.
       (b) Map and Legal Descriptions.--As soon as practicable 
     after the date of enactment of section 102, the Secretary 
     concerned shall file a map and legal description for each 
     wilderness area designated under this title with the 
     Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United 
     States Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the 
     United States House of Representatives. Each such map and 
     description shall have the same force and effect as if 
     included in this title, except that the Secretary or the 
     Secretary of Agriculture, as appropriate, may correct 
     clerical and typographical errors in each such legal 
     description and map. Each such map and legal description

     under section 102, the grazing of livestock, where 
     established prior to the date of enactment of this Act, shall 
     be permitted to continue subject to such reasonable 
     regulations, policies, and practices as the Secretary deems 
     necessary, as long as such regulations, policies, and

     expressed in the Wilderness Act and section 101(f) of Public 
     Law 101-628.
       (d) No Buffer Zones.--The Congress does not intend for the 
     designation of wilderness areas in section 102 of this Act to 
     lead to the creation of protective perimeters or buffer zones 
     around any such wilderness area. The fact that nonwilderness 
     activities or uses can be seen or heard from areas within a 
     wilderness area shall not, of itself, preclude such

       (A) precluding or otherwise affecting continued border 
     operations by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the 
     Drug Enforcement Administration, or the United States Customs 
     Service within such wilderness areas, in accordance with any

     and Naturalization Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, 
     or United States Custom Service border operations within such

     wilderness areas for the purpose for which such wilderness 
     areas were established, and in accordance with the Federal 
     Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et

     States, shall review all regulations and policies relating to 
     law enforcement activities within the wilderness areas

     subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall notify the Committee on 
     Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate and 
     the Committee on Natural Resources of the United States House 
     of Representatives on the adequacy of existing authority for 
     Federal law enforcement agencies to engage in law enforcement

     property with respect to which such permit was issued and to 
     which such permittee holds title, the Secretary shall make 
     the acquisition of such base property a priority as compared 
     with the acquisition of other lands within the park, provided 
     agreement can be reached concerning the terms and conditions 
     of such acquisition. Any such base property which is located 
     outside the park and acquired as a priority pursuant to this 
     section shall be managed by the Federal agency responsible 
     for the majority of the adjacent lands in accordance with the 
     laws applicable to such adjacent lands.

     exclude and thereby expose to incompatible development and 
     inconsistent management, contiguous Federal lands of 
     essential and superlative natural, ecological, archeological, 
     paleontological, cultural, historical, and wilderness values;
       (4) Joshua Tree National Monument should be enlarged by the 
     addition of contiguous Federal lands of national park 
     caliber, and afforded full recognition and statutory 
     protection as a national park; and

     Management depicted on the maps described in section 402 of 
     this title, without consideration, to the administrative 
     jurisdiction of the National Park Service for administration 
     as part of the National Park System. The boundaries of the 
     park shall be adjusted accordingly. The Secretary shall 
     administer the areas added to the park by this title in

     wilderness shall be administered by the Secretary in 
     accordance with the applicable provisions of the Wilderness 
     Act governing areas designated by that title as wilderness, 
     except that any reference in such provision to the effective 
     date of the Wilderness Act shall be deemed to be a reference 
     to the effective date of this title, and where appropriate, 
     and reference to the Secretary of Agriculture shall be deemed

                  TITLE VII--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     SEC. 701. TRANSFER OF LANDS TO RED ROCK CANYON STATE PARK.

       Upon enactment of this title, the Secretary shall transfer 
     to the State of California certain lands within the 
     California Desert Conservation Area, California, of the 
     Bureau of Land Management, comprising approximately twenty 
     thousand five hundred acres, as generally depicted on two 
     maps entitled ``Red Rock Canyon State Park Additions 1'' and 
     ``Red Rock Canyon State Park Additions 2'', dated May 1991, 
     for inclusion in the State of California Park System. Should 
     the State of California cease to manage these lands as part 
     of the State Park System, ownership of the lands shall revert 
     to the Department of the Interior to be managed as part of 
     California Desert Conservation Area to provide maximum 
     protection for the area's scenic and scientific values.

     SEC. 702. LAND TENURE ADJUSTMENTS.

       In preparing land tenure adjustment decisions with the 
     California Desert Conservation Area, of the Bureau of Land 
     Management, the Secretary shall give priority to 
     consolidating Federal ownership within the national park 
     units and wilderness areas designated by this Act.

     SEC. 703. LAND DISPOSAL.

       Except as provided in section 406, none of the lands within 
     the boundaries of the wilderness or park areas designated 
     under this Act shall be granted to or otherwise made 
     available for use by the Metropolitan Water District or any 
     other agencies or persons pursuant to the Boulder Canyon 
     Project Act (43 U.S.C. 617-619b) or any similar acts.

     SEC. 704. MANAGEMENT OF NEWLY ACQUIRED LANDS.

       Any lands within the boundaries of a wilderness area 
     designated under this Act which are acquired by the Federal 
     Government, shall become part of the wilderness area within 
     which they are located and shall be managed in accordance 
     with all the provisions of this Act and other laws applicable 
     to such wilderness area.

     SEC. 705. NATIVE AMERICAN USES AND INTERESTS.

       (a) Access.--In recognition of the past use of the parks 
     and wilderness areas designed under this Act by Indian people 
     for traditional cultural and religious purposes, the 
     Secretary shall ensure access to such parks and wilderness 
     areas by Indian people for such traditional cultural and 
     religious purposes. In implementing this section, the 
     Secretary, upon the request of an Indian tribe or Indian 
     religious community, shall temporarily close to the general 
     public use of one or more specific portions of park or 
     wilderness in order to protect the privacy of traditional 
     cultural and religious activities in such areas by Indian 
     people. Any such closure shall be made to affect the smallest 
     practicable area for the minimum period necessary for such 
     purposes. Such access shall be consistent with the purpose 
     and intent of Public Law 95-341 (42 U.S.C. 1996) commonly 
     referred to as the ``American Indian Religious Freedom Act'', 
     and with respect to areas designated as wilderness, the 
     Wilderness Act (78 Stat. 890; 16 U.S.C. 1131).
       (b) Cook Inlet Regional Corporation.--Section 12 of the Act 
     of January 2, 1976 (Public Law 94-204; 38 U.S.C. 1611 note), 
     as amended, is further amended--
       (1) by redesignating subsections (c) through (i) as 
     subsections (d) through (j), respectively;
       (2) by inserting after subsection (b) the following new 
     subsection:
       ``(c) The Native landowner shall be required to determine 
     the fair value of subsurface interests conveyed to it 
     pursuant to subsection (b) shall be the appraisal methodology 
     customarily used by the Minerals Management Service for 
     valuing similar interests (such as discounted cash flow based 
     methodology). The fair value of any subsurface interests in 
     land determined by a qualified independent appraiser 
     designated by the Region utilizing the methodology described 
     above shall be binding for all purposes, except for Federal 
     income tax matters, and provided that this exception shall 
     create no inference that the determination is not appropriate 
     for establishing fair value in such matters.''; and
       (3) in paragraph (9) of subsection (b), by striking 
     ``section 12(h)'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``section 
     12(i)''.

     SEC. 706. FEDERAL RESERVE WATER RIGHTS.

       (a) Except as otherwise provided in section 204, with 
     respect to each wilderness area designated by this Act, 
     Congress hereby reserves a quantity of water sufficient to 
     fulfill the purposes of this Act. The priority date of such 
     reserved water rights shall be the date of enactment of this 
     Act.
       (b) The Secretary and all other officers of the United 
     States shall take all steps necessary to protect the rights 
     reserved by this section, including the filing by the 
     Secretary of a claim for the quantification of such rights in 
     any present or future appropriate stream adjudication in the 
     courts of the State of California in which the United States 
     is or may be joined in accordance with section 208 of the Act 
     of July 10, 1952 (66 Stat. 560, 44 U.S.C. 666), commonly 
     referred to as the McCarran Amendment.
       (c) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as a 
     relinquishment or reduction of any water rights reserved or 
     appropriated by the United States in the State of California 
     on or before the date of enactment of this Act.
       (d) The Federal water rights reserved by this Act are 
     specific to the wilderness area located in the State of 
     California designated under this Act. Nothing in this Act 
     related to the reserved Federal water rights shall be 
     construed as establishing a precedent with regard to any 
     future designations, nor shall it constitute an 
     interpretation of any other Act or any designation made 
     thereto.

     SEC. 707. CALIFORNIA STATE SCHOOL LANDS.

     interests therein which are located within the boundaries of 
     one or more of the wilderness areas or park units designated 
     by this Act (hereinafter in this section referred to as 
     ``State School lands.''). The Secretary shall negotiate in 
     good faith to reach a land exchange agreement consistent with 
     the requirements of section 206 of the Federal Land Policy 
     and Management Act of 1976.
       (b) Preparation of List.--Within six months after the date 
     of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall send to the

     Resources of the United States Senate and the Committee on 
     Natural Resources of the United States House of 
     Representatives a list of the following:

     Reclamation that the Secretary determines are not needed for 
     any Bureau of Reclamation project; and

     1976, has determined to be suitable for disposal through 
     exchange.
       (3) Any other Federal land, or interest therein, within the 
     State of California which is or becomes surplus to the needs 
     of the Federal Government.
       (4) The Secretary shall maintain such list and shall 
     annually transmit such list to the Committee on Energy and 
     Natural Resources of the United States Senate and the 
     Committee on Natural Resources of the United States House of 
     Representatives until all of the State School lands 
     identified in paragraph (1) have been acquired.
       (c) Disposal of Surplus Federal Property.--(1) Effective 
     upon the date of enactment of this Act and until all State 
     School lands identified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section 
     are acquired, no Federal lands or interests therein within

     ownership unless--
       (A) the Secretary is notified of the availability of such 
     lands or interest therein;
       (B) the Secretary has notified the Commission of the 
     availability of such lands or interests therein for exchange; 
     and
       (C) the Commission has not notified the Secretary within

     exchange for such lands or interests therein.
       (2) If the Commission notifies the Secretary that it wishes 
     to consider an exchange for such lands or interests therein, 
     the Secretary shall attempt to conclude such exchange in 
     accordance with the provisions of this section as quickly as 
     possible.
       (3) If an agreement is reached and executed with the 
     Commission, then upon notice to the head of the agency having 
     administrative jurisdiction over such lands or interests 
     therein, the Secretary shall be vested with administrative 
     jurisdiction over such lands or interests therein for the 
     purpose of concluding such exchange.
       (4) Upon the acquisition of all State School lands or upon 
     notice by the Commission to the Secretary that it no longer 
     has an interest in such lands or interests therein, such 
     lands or interests shall be released to the agency that 
     originally had jurisdiction over such lands or interests for 
     disposal in accordance with the laws otherwise applicable to 
     such lands or interests.
       (d) No Effect on Military Base Closures.--The provisions of 
     this section shall not apply to the disposal of property 
     under title II of the Defense Authorization Amendments and

       (a) Short Title.--This title may be cited as the 
     ``California Military Lands Withdrawal and Overflights Act of 
     1993''.
       (b) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) military aircraft testing and training activities as 
     well as demilitarization activities in California are an 
     important part of the national defense system of the United 
     States, and are essential in order to secure for the American 
     people of this and future generations an enduring and viable 
     national defense system;
       (2) the National Parks and wilderness areas designated by 
     this Act lie within a region critical to providing training, 
     research, and development for the Armed Forces of the United 
     States and its allies;
       (3) there is a lack of alternative sites available for 
     these military training, testing, and research activities;
       (4) continued use of the lands and airspace in the 
     California desert region is essential for military purposes; 
     and
       (5) contination of these military activities, under 
     appropriate terms and conditions, is not incompatible with 
     the protection and proper management of the natural, 
     environmental, cultural, and other resources and values of 
     the Federal lands in the California desert area.

     SEC. 802. MILITARY OVERFLIGHTS.

       (a) Overflights.--Nothing in this Act, the Wilderness Act, 
     or other land management laws generally applicable to the new 
     units of the National Park or Wilderness Preservation Systems 
     (or any additions to existing units) designated by this Act, 
     shall restrict or preclude low-level overflights of military 
     aircraft over such units, including military overflights that 
     can be seen or heard within such units.
       (b) Special Airspace.--Nothing in this Act, the Wilderness 
     Act, or other land management laws generally applicable to 
     the new units of the National Park or Wilderness Preservation 
     Systems (or any additions to existing units) designated by

     units of special airspace or the use or establishment of 
     military flight training routes over such new park or 
     wilderness units.
       (c) No Effect on Other Laws.--Nothing in this section shall 
     be construed to modify, expand, or diminish any authority 
     under other Federal law.

     SEC. 805. MANAGEMENT OF WITHDRAWN LANDS.

       (a) Management by the Secretary of the Interior.--(1) 
     Except as provided in subsection (g), during the period of 
     the withdrawal the Secretary shall manage the lands withdrawn 
     under section 802 of this title pursuant to the Federal Land 
     Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) 
     and other applicable law, including this title.
       (2) To the extent consistent with applicable law and 
     Executive orders, the lands withdrawn under section 802 may 
     be managed in a manner permitting--
       (A) the continuation of grazing pursuant to applicable law 
     and Executive orders were permitted on the date of enactment 
     of this title;
       (B) protection of wildlife and wildlife habitat;
       (C) control of predatory and other animals;

       (3)(A) All nonmilitary use of such lands, including the 
     uses described in paragraph (2), shall be subject to such 
     conditions and restrictions as may be necessary to permit the 
     military use of such lands for the purposes specified in or 
     authorized pursuant to this title.
       (B) The Secretary may issue any lease, easement, right-of-
     way, or other authorization with respect to the nonmilitary 
     use of such lands only with the concurrence of the Secretary 
     of the Navy.
       (b) Closure to Public.--(1) If the Secretary of the Navy 
     determines that military operations, public safety, or 
     national security require the closure to public use of any 
     road, trail, or other portion of the lands withdrawn by this 
     title, the Secretary may take such action as the Secretary 
     determines necessary or desirable to effect and maintain such 
     closure.
       (2) Any such closure shall be limited to the minimum areas 
     and periods which the Secretary of the Navy determines are 
     required to carry out this subsection.
       (3) Before and during any closure under this subsection, 
     the Secretary of the Navy shall--
       (A) keep appropriate warning notices posted; and
       (B) take appropriate steps to notify the public concerning 
     such closures.
       (c) Management Plan.--The Secretary (after consultation 
     with the Secretary of the Navy) shall develop a plan for the 
     management of each area withdrawn under section 802 of this 
     title during the period of such withdrawal. Each plan shall--

     area; and
       (4) be developed not later than three years after the date 
     of enactment of this title.
       (d) Brush and Range Fires.--The Secretary of the Navy shall 
     take necessary precautions to prevent and suppress brush and 
     range fires occurring within and outside the lands withdrawn 
     under section 802 as a result of military activities and may 
     seek assistance from the Bureau of Land Management in the 
     suppression of such fires. The memorandum of understanding 
     required by subsection (e) shall provide for Bureau of Land 
     Management assistance in the suppression of such fires, and 
     for a transfer of funds from the Department of the Navy to 
     the Bureau of Land Management as compensation for such 
     assistance.
       (e) Memorandum of Understanding.--(1) The Secretary and the 
     Secretary of the Navy shall (with respect to each land 
     withdrawal under section 802 of this title) enter into a 
     memorandum of understanding to implement the management plan 
     developed under subsection (c). Any such memorandum of 
     understanding shall provide that the Director of the Bureau 
     of Land Management shall provide assistance in the 
     suppression of fires resulting from the military use of lands 
     withdrawn under section 802 if requested by the Secretary of

     Secretary of Defense shall promptly notify the Secretary in 
     the event that the lands withdrawn by this title will be used 
     for defense-related purposes other than those specified in 
     section 802. Such notification shall indicate the additional 
     use or uses involved, the proposed duration of such uses, and 
     the extent to which such additional military uses of the 
     withdrawn lands will require that additional or more 
     stringent conditions or restrictions be imposed on otherwise-
     permitted nonmilitary uses of the withdrawn land or portions 
     thereof.
       (g) Management of China Lake.--(1) The Secretary may assign 
     the management responsibility for the lands withdrawn under 
     section 802(a) to the Secretary of the Navy who shall manage 
     such lands, and issue leases, easements, rights-of-way, and 
     other authorizations, in accordance with this title and 
     cooperative management arrangements between the Secretary and 
     the Secretary of the Navy: Provided, That nothing in this 
     subsection shall affect geothermal leases issued by the 
     Secretary prior to the date of enactment of this title, or 
     the responsibility of the Secretary to administer and manage 
     such leases, consistent with the provisions of this section. 
     In the case that the Secretary assigns such management 
     responsibility to the Secretary of the Navy before the 
     development of the management plan under subsection (c), the 
     Secretary of the Navy (after consultation with the Secretary) 
     shall develop such management plan.
       (2) The Secretary shall be responsible for the issuance of 
     any lease, easement, right-of-way, and other authorization 
     with respect to any activity which involves both the lands 
     withdrawn under section 802(a) and any other lands. Any such 
     authorization shall be issued only with the consent of the 
     Secretary of the Navy and, to the extent that such activity 
     involves lands withdrawn under section 802(a), shall be 
     subject to such conditions as the Secretary of the Navy may 
     prescribe.
       (3) The Secretary of the Navy shall prepare and submit to 
     the Secretary an annual report on the status of the natural 
     and cultural resources and values of the lands withdrawn 
     under section 802(a). The Secretary shall transmit such 
     report to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of 
     the United States Senate and the Committee on Natural 
     Resources of the United States House of Representatives.
       (4) The Secretary of the Navy shall be responsible for the 
     management of wild horses and burros located on the lands 
     withdrawn under section 802(a) and may utilize helicopters 
     and motorized vehicles for such purposes. Such management 
     shall be in accordance with laws applicable to such 
     management on public lands and with an appropriate memorandum 
     of understanding between the Secretary and the Secretary of 
     the Navy.
       (5) Neither this title nor any other provision of law shall 
     be construed to prohibit the Secretary from issuing and 
     administering any lease for the development and utilization 
     of geothermal steam and associated geothermal resources on

     SEC. 808. REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWAL.

       (a) Notice and Filing.--(1) No later than three years prior 
     to the termination of the withdrawal and reservation 
     established by this title, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     advise the Secretary as to whether or not the Secretary of 
     the Navy will have a continuing military need for any of the 
     lands withdrawn under section 802 after the termination date 
     of such withdrawal and reservation.
       (2) If the Secretary of the Navy concludes that there will 
     be a continuing military need for any of such lands after the 
     termination date, the Secretary of the Navy shall file an 
     application for extension of the withdrawal and reservation 
     of such needed lands in accordance with the regulations and 
     procedures of the Department of the Interior applicable to 
     the extension of withdrawals of lands for military uses.
       (3) If, during the period of withdrawal and reservation, 
     the Secretary of the Navy decides to relinquish all or any of 
     the lands withdrawn and reserved by this title, the Secretary 
     of the Navy shall file a notice of intention to relinquish 
     with the Secretary.
       (b) Contamination.--(1) Before transmitting a notice of 
     intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a), the 
     Secretary of Defense, acting through the Department of the 
     Navy, shall prepare a written determination concerning 
     whether and to what extent the lands that are to be 
     relinquished are contaminated with explosive, toxic, or other 
     hazardous materials.
       (2) A copy of such determination shall be transmitted with 
     the notice of intention to relinquish.
       (3) Copies of both the notice of intention to relinquish 
     and the determination concerning the contaminated state of 
     the lands shall be published in the Federal Register by the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (c) Decontamination.--If any land which is the subject of a 
     notice of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) 
     is contaminated, and the Secretary, in consultation with the 
     Secretary of the Navy, determines that decontamination is 
     practicable and economically feasible (taking into 
     consideration the potential future use and value of the land) 
     and that upon decontamination, the land could be opened to 
     operation of some or all of the public land laws, including 
     the mining laws, the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     decontaminate the land to the extent that funds are 
     appropriated for such purpose.
       (d) Alternatives.--If the Secretary, after consultation 
     with the Secretary of the Navy, concludes that 
     decontamination of any land which is the subject of a notice 
     of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection (a) is not 
     practicable or economically feasible, or that the land cannot 
     be decontaminated sufficiently to be opened to operation of 
     some or all of the public land laws, or if Congress does not 
     appropriate a sufficient amount of funds for the 
     decontamination of such land, the Secretary shall not be 
     required to accept the land proposed for relinquishment.
       (e) Status of Contaminated Lands.--If, because of their 
     contaminated state, the Secretary declines to accept 
     jurisdiction over lands withdrawn by this title which have 
     been proposed for relinquishment, or if at the expiration of 
     the withdrawal made by this title the Secretary determines 
     that some of the lands withdrawn by this title are 
     contaminated to an extent which prevents opening such 
     contaminated lands to operation of the public land laws--
       (1) the Secretary of the Navy shall take appropriate steps 
     to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands 
     and any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
       (2) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary 
     of the Navy shall undertake no activities on such lands 
     except in connection with decontamination of such lands; and
       (3) the Secretary of the Navy shall report to the Secretary 
     and to the Congress concerning the status of such lands and 
     all actions taken in furtherance of this subsection.
       (f) Revocation Authority.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, the Secretary, upon deciding that it is in 
     the public interest to accept jurisdiction over lands 
     proposed for relinquishment pursuant to subsection (a), is 
     authorized to revoke the withdrawal and reservation 
     established by this title as it applies to such lands. Should 
     the decision be made to revoke the withdrawal and 
     reservation, the Secretary shall publish in the Federal 
     Register an appropriate order which shall--
       (1) terminate the withdrawal and reservation;
       (2) constitute official acceptance of full jurisdiction 
     over the lands by the Secretary; and
       (3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to 
     the operation of some or all of the public lands law, 
     including the mining laws.
