Presidio properties at minimal cost to the Federal taxpayer.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER laid before the Senate the following message 
from the House of Representatives:

       Resolved, That the bill from the House of Representatives 
     (H.R. 1296) entitled ``An Act to provide for the 
     administration of certain Presidio properties at minimal cost 
     to the Federal taxpayer.'', do pass with the following 
     amendment:
       Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert:

                 TITLE I--THE PRESIDIO OF SAN FRANCISCO

     SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

       The Congress finds that--
       (1) the Presidio, located amidst the incomparable scenic 
     splendor of the Golden Gate, is one of America's great 
     natural and historic sites;
       (2) the Presidio is the oldest continuously operated 
     military post in the Nation dating from 1776, and was 
     designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962;
       (3) preservation of the cultural and historic integrity of 
     the Presidio for public use recognizes its significant role 
     in the history of the United States;
       (4) the Presidio, in its entirety, is a part of the Golden 
     Gate National Recreation Area, in accordance with Public Law 
     92-589;
       (5) as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, 
     the Presidio's significant natural, historic, scenic, 
     cultural, and recreational resources must be managed in a 
     manner which is consistent with sound principles of land use 
     planning and management, and which protects the Presidio from 
     development and uses which would destroy the scenic beauty 
     and historic and natural character of the area and cultural 
     and recreational resources;
       (6) removal and/or replacement of some structures within 
     the Presidio must be considered as a management option in the 
     administration of the Presidio; and
       (7) the Presidio will be managed through an innovative 
     public/private partnership that minimizes cost to the United 
     States Treasury and makes efficient use of private sector 
     resources.

                   THE INTERIOR.

       (a) Interim Authority.--The Secretary of the Interior

     the Secretary and such proceeds shall be available, without 
     further appropriation, for the preservation, restoration, 
     operation and maintenance, improvement, repair and related 
     expenses incurred with respect to Presidio properties. The 
     Secretary may adjust the rental charge on any such lease for 
     any amounts to be expended by the lessee for preservation, 
     maintenance, restoration, improvement, repair and related 
     expenses with respect to properties and infrastructure within 
     the Presidio.

     that are not transferred to the administrative jurisdiction 
     of the Presidio Trust shall continue to be managed by the 
     Secretary. The Secretary and the Presidio Trust shall 
     cooperate to ensure adequate public access to all portions of

     projects that were funded prior to the enactment of this Act 
     shall be completed by the National Park Service.
       (d) Park Service Employees.--(1) Any career employee of the 
     National Park Service, employed at the Presidio at the time

     over whether to hire any such employee or request a detail of 
     such employee.

     or other orders from the Department of the Interior, the 
     Office of Management and Budget, or other Federal agencies.

     SEC. 103. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PRESIDIO TRUST.

     transfer such parcel to the administrative jurisdiction of 
     the Trust. Within one year after the first meeting of the

     encouraged to transfer to the administrative jurisdiction of 
     the Secretary open space areas which have high public use 
     potential and are contiguous to other lands administrated by 
     the Secretary.

     property to the Trust. Within one year after the first

     to be transferred should be transferred to the Trust.
       (3) The Secretary shall transfer, with the transfer of 
     administrative jurisdiction over any property, the

       (b) The Trust may participate in the development of 
     programs and activities at the properties transferred to the 
     Trust. The Trust shall have the authority to negotiate and

     organization, corporation or governmental entity, including, 
     without limitation, entities of Federal, State and local 
     governments as are necessary and appropriate to finance and

     revenues to the Federal Government to the maximum extent 
     possible. In carrying out this program, the Trust shall be 
     treated as a successor in interest to the National Park 
     Service with respect to compliance with the National 
     Environmental Policy Act and other environmental compliance 
     statutes. Such program shall consist of--

     its other authorities, shall have the following authorities 
     subject to the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C.

       (A) the terms of the guarantee are approved by the 
     Secretary of the Treasury;
       (B) adequate subsidy budget authority is provided in 
     advance in appropriations Acts; and
       (C) such guarantees are structured so as to minimize 
     potential cost to the Federal Government. No loan guarantee 
     under this title shall cover more than 75 percent of the 
     unpaid balance of the loan. The Trust may collect a fee 
     sufficient to cover its costs in connection with each loan 
     guaranteed under this Act. The authority to enter into any 
     such loan guarantee agreement shall expire at the end of 15 
     years after the date of enactment of this title.

     and only to the extent authorized in advance in 
     appropriations acts. The Secretary of the Treasury is 
     authorized to use as a public debt transaction the proceeds 
     from the sale of any securities issued under chapter 31 of 
     title 31, United States Code, and the purposes for which 
     securities may be issued under such chapter are extended to 
     include any purchase of such notes or obligations acquired by 
     the Secretary of the Treasury under this subsection. 
     Obligations issued under this subparagraph shall be in such 
     forms and denominations, bearing such maturities, and subject 
     to such terms and conditions, as may be prescribed by the 
     Secretary of the Treasury, and shall bear interest at a rate 
     determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking into 
     consideration current market yields on outstanding marketable

     principal or interest on, or redemption of, obligations 
     issued under this paragraph.
       (4) The aggregate amount of obligations issued under this 
     subsection which are outstanding at any one time may not 
     exceed $50,000,000.
       (e) The Trust may solicit and accept donations of funds, 
     property, supplies, or services from individuals, 
     foundations, corporations, and other private or public 
     entities for the purpose of carrying out its duties. The 
     Trust shall maintain a liaison with the Golden Gate National

     without further appropriation, for the administration, 
     preservation, restoration, operation and maintenance, 
     improvement, repair and related expenses incurred with 
     respect to Presidio properties under its administrative 
     jurisdiction. Upon the Request of the Trust, the Secretary of 
     the Treasury shall invest excess moneys of the Trust in 
     public debt securities with maturities suitable to the needs 
     of the Trust.
       (g) The Trust may sue and be sued in its own name to the 
     same extent as the Federal Government. Litigation arising out 
     of the activities of the Trust shall be conducted by the 
     Attorney General; except that the Trust may retain private

     for the Northern District of California shall have exclusive 
     jurisdiction over any suit filed against the Trust.
       (h) The Trust shall enter into a Memorandum of Agreement 
     with the Secretary, acting through the Chief of the United

       (i) The Trust may adopt, amend, repeal and enforce bylaws, 
     rules and regulations governing the manner in which its 
     business may be conducted and the powers vested in it may be 
     exercised. The Trust is authorized, in consultation with the 
     Secretary, to adopt and to enforce those rules and 
     regulations that are applicable to the Golden Gate National 
     Recreation Area and that may be necessary and appropriate to 
     carry out its duties and responsibilities under this title. 
     The Trust shall give notice of the adoption of such rules and 
     regulations by publication in the Federal Register.
       (j) For the purpose of compliance with applicable laws and 
     regulations concerning properties transferred to the Trust by 
     the Secretary, the Trust shall negotiate directly with

       (l) Building Code Compliance.--The Trust shall bring all 
     properties under its administrative jurisdiction into 
     compliance with Federal building codes and regulations 
     appropriate to use and occupancy within 10 years after the 
     enactment of this title to the extent practicable.
       (m) Leasing.--In managing and leasing the properties 
     transferred to it, the Trust considers the extent to which 
     prospective tenants contribute to the implementation of the 
     General Management Plan for the Presidio and to the reduction 
     of cost to the Federal Government. The Trust shall give 
     priority to the following categories of tenants: Tenants that 
     enhance the financial viability of the Presidio and tenant 
     that facilitate the cost-effective preservation of historic 
     buildings through their reuse of such buildings.
       (n) Reversion.--If, at the expiration of 15 years, the 
     Trust has not accomplished the goals and objectives of the 
     plan required in section 105(b) of this title, then all 
     property under the

[[Page S5278]]

     administrative jurisdiction of the Trust pursuant to section 
     103(b) of this title shall be transferred to the 
     Administrator of the General Services Administration to be 
     disposed of in accordance with the procedures outlined in the 
     Defense Authorization Act of 1990 (104 Stat. 1809), and any 
     real property so transferred shall be deleted from the 
     boundary of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. In the 
     event of such transfer, the terms and conditions of all 
     agreements and loans regarding such lands and facilities 
     entered into by the Trust shall be binding on any successor 
     in interest.

            TITLE XI--GILPIN COUNTY, COLORADO LAND EXCHANGE

     SEC. 1101. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds and declares that--
       (1) certain scattered parcels of Federal land located 
     within Gilpin County, Colorado, are currently administered by 
     the Secretary of the Interior as part of the Royal Gorge 
     Resource Area, Canon City District, United States Bureau of 
     Land Management;
       (2) these land parcels, which comprises approximately 133 
     separate tracts of land, and range in size from approximately 
     38 acres to much less than an acre have been identified as 
     suitable for disposal by the Bureau of Land Management 
     through its resource management planning process and are 
     appropriate for disposal; and
       (3) even though the Federal land parcels in Gilpin County, 
     Colorado, are scattered and small in size, they nevertheless 
     by virtue of their proximity to existing communities appear 
     to have a fair market value which may be used by the Federal 
     Government to exchange for lands which will better lend 
     themselves to Federal management and have higher values for 
     future public access, use and enjoyment, recreation, the 
     protection and enhancement of fish and wildlife and fish and 
     wildlife habitat, and the protection of riparian lands, 
     wetlands, scenic beauty and other public values.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to authorize, 
     direct, facilitate and expedite the land exchange set forth 
     herein in order to further the public interest by disposing 
     of Federal lands with limited public utility and acquire in 
     exchange therefor lands with important values for permanent 
     public management and protection.

[[Page S5285]]

     SEC. 1102. LAND EXCHANGE.

       (a) In General.--The exchange directed by this title shall 
     be consummated if within 90 days after enactment of this Act, 
     Lake Gulch, Inc., a Colorado Corporation (as defined in 
     section 1104 of this title) offers to transfer to the United 
     States pursuant to the provisions of this title the offered 
     lands or interests in land described herein.
       (b) Conveyance by Lake Gulch.--Subject to the provisions of 
     section 1103 of this title, Lake Gulch shall convey to the 
     Secretary of the Interior all right, title, and interest in 
     and to the following offered lands--
       (1) certain lands comprising approximately 40 acres with 
     improvements thereon located in Larimer County, Colorado, and 
     lying within the boundaries of Rocky Mountain National Park 
     as generally depicted on a map entitled ``Circle C Church 
     Camp'', dated August 1994, which shall upon their acquisition 
     by the United States and without further action by the 
     Secretary of the Interior be incorporated into Rocky Mountain 
     National Park and thereafter be administered in accordance 
     with the laws, rules and regulations generally applicable to 
     the National Park System and Rocky Mountain National Park;
       (2) certain lands located within and adjacent to the United 
     States Bureau of Land Management San Luis Resource Area in 
     Conejos County, Colorado, which comprise approximately 3,993 
     acres and are generally depicted on a map entitled ``Quinlan 
     Ranches Tract'', dated August 1994; and
       (3) certain lands located within the United States Bureau 
     of Land Management Royal Gorge Resource Area in Huerfano 
     County, Colorado, which comprise approximately 4,700 acres 
     and are generally depicted on a map entitled ``Bonham Ranch-
     Cucharas Canyon'', dated June 1995: Provided however, That it 
     is the intention of Congress that such lands may remain 
     available for the grazing of livestock as determined 
     appropriate by the Secretary in accordance with applicable 
     laws, rules, and regulations: Provided further, That if the 
     Secretary determines that certain of the lands acquired 
     adjacent to Cucharas Canyon hereunder are not needed for 
     public purposes they may be sold in accordance with the 
     provisions of section 203 of the Federal Land Policy and 
     Management Act of 1976 and other applicable law.
       (c) Substitution of Lands.--If one or more of the precise 
     offered land parcels identified above is unable to be 
     conveyed to the United States due to appraisal or other 
     problems, Lake Gulch and the Secretary may mutually agree to 
     substitute therefor alternative offered lands acceptable to 
     the Secretary.
       (d) Coveyance by the United States.--(1) Upon receipt of 
     title to the lands identified in subsection (a) the Secretary 
     shall simultaneously convey to Lake Gulch all right, title, 
     and interest of the United States, subject to valid existing 
     rights, in and to the following selected lands--
       (A) certain surveyed lands located in Gilpin County, 
     Colorado, Township 3 South, Range 72 West, Sixth Principal 
     Meridian, Section 18, Lots 118-220, which comprise 
     approximately 195 acres and are intended to include all 
     federally owned lands in section 18, as generally depicted on 
     a map entitled ``Lake Gulch Selected Lands'', dated July 
     1994;
       (B) certain surveyed lands located in Gilpin County, 
     Colorado, Township 3 South, Range 72 West, Sixth Principal 
     Meridian, Section 17, Lots 37, 38, 39, 40, 52, 53, and 54, 
     which comprise approximately 96 acres, as generally depicted 
     on a map entitled ``Lake Gulch Selected Lands'', dated July 
     1994; and
       (C) certain unsurveyed lands located in Gilpin County, 
     Colorado, Township 3 South, Range 73 West, Sixth Principal 
     Meridian, Section 13, which comprise approximately 11 acres, 
     and are generally depicted as parcels 302-304, 306 and 308-
     326 on a map entitled ``Lake Gulch Selected Lands'', dated 
     July 1994: Provided however, That a parcel or parcels of land 
     in section 13 shall not be transferred to Lake Gulch if at 
     the time of the proposed transfer the parcel or parcels are 
     under formal application for transfer to a qualified unit of 
     local government. Due to the small and unsurveyed nature of 
     such parcels proposed for transfer to Lake Gulch in section 
     13, and the high cost of surveying such small parcels, the 
     Secretary is authorized to transfer such section 13 lands to 
     Lake Gulch without survey based on such legal or other 
     description as the Secretary determines appropriate to carry 
     out the basic intent of the map cited in this subparagraph.
       (2) If the Secretary and Lake Gulch mutually agree, and the 
     Secretary determines it is in the public interest, the 
     Secretary may utilize the authority and direction of this 
     title to transfer to Lake Gulch lands in sections 17 and 13 
     that are in addition to those precise selected lands shown on 
     the map cited herein, and which are not under formal 
     application for transfer to a qualified unit of local 
     government, upon transfer to the Secretary of additional 
     offered lands acceptable to the Secretary or upon payment to 
     the Secretary by Lake Gulch of cash equalization money 
     amounting to the full appraised fair market value of any such 
     additional lands. If any such additional lands are located in 
     section 13 they may be transferred to Lake Gulch without 
     survey based on such legal or other description as the 
     Secretary determines appropriate as long as the Secretary 
     determines that the boundaries of any adjacent lands not 
     owned by Lake Gulch can be properly identified so as to avoid 
     possible future boundary conflicts or disputes. If the 
     Secretary determines surveys are necessary to convey any such 
     additional lands to Lake Gulch, the costs of such surveys 
     shall be paid by Lake Gulch but shall not be eligible for any 
     adjustment in the value of such additional lands pursuant to 
     section 206(f)(2) of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
     Act of 1976 (as amended by the Federal Land Exchange 
     Facilitation Act of 1988) (43 U.S.C. 1716(f)(2)).
       (3) Prior to transferring out of public ownership pursuant 
     to this title or other authority of law any lands which are 
     contiguous to North Clear Creek southeast of the City of 
     Black Hawk, Colorado in the County of Gilpin, Colorado, the 
     Secretary shall notify and consult with the county and city 
     and afford such units of local government an opportunity to 
     acquire or reserve pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and 
     Management Act of 1976 or other applicable law, such 
     easements or rights-of-way parallel to North Clear Creek as 
     may be necessary to serve public utility line or recreation 
     path needs: Provided however, That any survey or other costs 
     associated with the acquisition or reservation of such 
     easements or rights-of-way shall be paid for by the unit or 
     units of local government concerned.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (94 
     Stat. 2371), enacted on December 2, 1980, established Gates 
     of the Arctic National Park and Preserve and Gates of the 
     Arctic Wilderness. The village of Anaktuvuk Pass, located in 
     the highlands of the central Brooks Range, is virtually 
     surrounded by these national park and wilderness lands and is 
     the only Native village located within the boundary of a 
     National Park System unit in Alaska.
       (2) Unlike most other Alaskan Native communities, the 
     village of Anaktuvuk Pass is not located on a major river, 
     lake, or coastline that can be used as a means of access. The 
     residents of Anaktuvuk Pass have relied increasingly on snow 
     machines in winter and all-terrain vehicles in summer as 
     their primary means of access to pursue caribou and other 
     subsistence resources.
       (3) In a 1983 land exchange agreement, linear easements 
     were reserved by the Inupiat Eskimo people for use of all-
     terrain vehicles across certain national park lands, mostly 
     along stream and river banks. These linear easements proved 
     unsatisfactory, because they provided inadequate access to 
     subsistence resources while causing excessive environmental 
     impact from concentrated use.
       (4) The National Park Service and the Nunamiut Corporation 
     initiated discussions in 1985 to address concerns over the 
     use of all-terrain vehicles on park and wilderness land. 
     These discussions resulted in an agreement, originally 
     executed in 1992 and thereafter amended in 1993 and 1994, 
     among the National Park Service, Nunamiut Corporation, the 
     City of Anaktuvuk Pass, and Arctic Slope Regional 
     Corporation. Full effectuation of this agreement, as amended, 
     by its terms requires ratification by the Congress.

     SEC. 1402. RATIFICATION OF AGREEMENT.

       (a) Ratification.--
       (1) In general.--The terms, conditions, procedures, 
     covenants, reservations and other provisions set forth in the

     and Preserve, subject to the laws and regulations applicable 
     thereto.
       (b) Maps.--The maps set forth as Exhibits C1, C2, and D 
     through I to the Agreement depict the lands subject to the

     SEC. 1503. KONIAG ACCOUNT.

       (a) In General.--
       (1) The Secretary shall enter into negotiations for an 
     agreement or agreements to exchange Federal lands or 
     interests therein which are in the State of Alaska for the 
     Selection Rights.
       (2) If the value of the Federal property to be exchanged is 
     less than the value of the Selection Rights established in 
     section 1501, and if such Federal property to be exchanged is 
     not generating receipts to the Federal Government in excess 
     of $1,000,000 per year, then the Secretary may exchange the 
     Federal property for that portion of the Selection Rights 
     having a value equal to that of the Federal property. The 
     remaining selection rights shall remain available for 
     additional exchanges.
       (3) For the purposes of any exchange to be consummated 
     under this title, if less than all the selection rights are 
     being exchanged, then the value of the selection rights being 
     exchanged shall be equal to the number of acres of selection 
     rights being exchanged multiplied by a fraction, the 
     numerator of which is the value of all the selection rights 
     as determined pursuant to section 1502 hereof and the 
     denominator of which is the total number of acres of 
     selection rights.
       (b) Additional Exchanges.--If, after ten years from the 
     date of the enactment of this title, the Secretary was unable 
     to conclude such exchanges as may be required to acquire all 
     of the selection rights, he shall conclude exchanges for the 
     remaining selection rights for such Federal property as may 
     be identified by Koniag, which property is available for 
     transfer to the administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary 
     under any provision of law and which property, at the time of 
     the proposed transfer to Koniag is not generating receipts to 
     the Federal Government in excess of $1,000,000 per year. The 
     Secretary shall keep Koniag advised in a timely manner as to 
     which properties may be available for such transfer. Upon 
     receipt of such identification by Koniag, the Secretary shall 
     request in a timely manner the transfer of such identified 
     property to the administrative jurisdiction of the Department 
     of the Interior. Such property shall not be subject to the 
     geographic limitations of section 206(b) of the Federal Land 
     Policy and Management Act and may be retained by the 
     Secretary solely for purposes of transferring it to Koniag to 
     complete the exchange. Should the value of the property so 
     identified by Koniag be in excess of the value of the 
     remaining selection rights, then Koniag shall have the option 
     of (i) declining to proceed with the exchange and identifying 
     other property or (ii) paying the difference in value between 
     the property rights.
       (c) Revenues.--Any property received by Koniag in an 
     exchange entered into pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of 
     this section shall be deemed to be an interest in the 
     subsurface for purposes of section 7(i) of the Alaska Native 
     Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.): Provided 
     however, That should Koniag make a payment to equalize the 
     value in any such exchange, then Koniag will be deemed to 
     hold an undivided interest in the property equal in value to 
     such payment which interest shall not be subject to the 
     provisions of section 9(j).

     SEC. 1504. CERTAIN CONVEYANCES.

       (a) Interests in Land.--For the purposes of section 21(c) 
     of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 
     1620(e)), the receipt of consideration, including, but not 
     limited to, lands, cash or other property, by a Native 
     Corporation for the relinquishment to the United States of 
     land selection rights granted to any Native Corporation under 
     such Act shall be deemed to be an interest in land.
       (b) Authority to Appoint and Remove Trustee.--In 
     establishing a Settlement Trust under section 39 of such Act 
     (43 U.S.C. 1629c), Koniag may delegate, in whole or in part, 
     the authority granted to Koniag under subsection (b)(2) of 
     such section to any entity that Koniag may select without 
     affecting the status of the trust as a Settlement Trust under 
     such section.

                          TITLE XVII--SKI FEES

     SEC. 1701. SKI AREA PERMIT RENTAL CHARGE.

       (a) The Secretary of Agriculture shall charge a rental 
     charge for all ski area permits issued pursuant to section 3 
     of the National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 
     497b), the Act of March 4, 1915 (38 Stat. 1101, chapter 144; 
     16 U.S.C. 497), or the 9th through 20th paragraphs under the 
     heading ``SURVEYING THE PUBLIC LANDS'' under the heading 
     ``UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR'' in the Act of June 
     4, 1897 (30 Stat. 34, chapter 2), on National Forest System 
     lands. Permit rental charges for permits issued pursuant to 
     the National Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 shall be 
     calculated as set forth in subsection (b). Permit rental 
     charges for existing ski area permits issued pursuant to the 
     Act of March 4, 1915, and the Act of June 4, 1897, shall be 
     calculated in accordance with those existing permits: 
     Provided, That a permittee may, at the permittee's option, 
     use the calculation method set forth in subsection (b).
       (b)(1) The ski area permit rental charge (SAPRC) shall be 
     calculated by adding the permittee's gross revenues from lift 
     ticket/year-round ski area use pass sales plus revenue from 
     ski school operations (LT+SS) and multiplying such total by 
     the slope transport feet percentage (STFP) on National Forest 
     System land. That amount shall be increased by the gross 
     year-round revenue from ancillary facilities (GRAF) 
     physically located on national forest land, including all 
     permittee or subpermittee lodging, food service, rental 
     shops, parking and other ancillary operations, to determine 
     the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) subject to the permit rental 
     charge. The final rental charge shall be calculated by 
     multiplying the AGR by the following percentages for each 
     revenue bracket and adding the total for each revenue 
     bracket:
       (A) 1.5 percent of all adjusted gross revenue below 
     $3,000,000;
       (B) 2.5 percent for adjusted gross revenue between 
     $3,000,000 and $15,000,000;
       (C) 2.75 percent for adjusted gross revenue between 
     $15,000,000 and $50,000,000; and
       (D) 4.0 percent for the amount of adjusted gross revenue 
     that exceeds $50,000,000.
       Utilizing the abbreviations indicated in this subsection 
     the ski area permit fee (SAPF) formula can be simply 
     illustrated as:

         SAPF = ((LT + SS)  STFP) + GRAF = AGR; AGR  % BRACKETS

       (2) In cases where ski areas are only partially located on 
     national forest lands, the slope transport feet percentage on 
     national forest land referred to in subsection (b) shall be 
     calculated as generally described in the Forest Service 
     Manual in effect as of January 1, 1992. Revenues from Nordic 
     ski operations shall be included or excluded from the rental 
     charge calculation according to the percentage of trails 
     physically located on national forest land.
       (3) In order to ensure that the rental charge remains fair 
     and equitable to both the United States and the ski area 
     permittees, the adjusted gross revenue figures for each 
     revenue bracket in paragraph (1) shall be adjusted annually 
     by the percent increase or decrease in the national Consumer 
     Price Index for the preceding calendar year. No later than 5 
     years after the date of enactment of this Act and every 10 
     years thereafter the Secretary shall submit to the Committee 
     on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate 
     and the Committee on Resources of the United States House of 
     Representatives a report analyzing whether the ski area 
     permit rental charge legislated by this Act is returning a 
     fair market value rental to the United States together with 
     any recommendations the Secretary may have for modifications 
     of the system.
       (c) The rental charge set forth in subsection (b) shall be 
     due on June 1 of each year and shall be paid or pre-paid by 
     the permittee on a monthly, quarterly, annual or other 
     schedule as determined appropriate by the Secretary in 
     consultation with the permittee. Unless mutually agreed 
     otherwise by the Secretary and the permittee, the payment or 
     prepayment schedule shall conform to the permittee's schedule 
     in effect prior to enactment of this Act. To reduce costs to 
     the permittee and the Forest Service, the Secretary shall 
     each year provide the permittee with a standardized form and 
     worksheets (including annual rental charge calculation 
     brackets and rates) to be used for rental charge calculation 
     and submitted with the rental charge payment. Information 
     provided on such forms shall be compiled by the Secretary 
     annually and kept in the Office of the Chief, United States 
     Forest Service.
       (d) The ski area permit rental charge set forth in this 
     section shall become effective on June 1, 1996 and cover 
     receipts retroactive to June 1, 1995: Provided however, That 
     if a permittee has paid rental charges for the period June 1, 
     1995, to June 1, 1996, under the graduated rate rental charge 
     system formula in effect prior to the date of enactment of 
     this Act, such rental charges shall be credited toward the 
     new rental charge due on June 1, 1996. In order to ensure 
     increasing rental charge receipt levels to the United States 
     during transition from the graduated rate rental charge 
     system formula to the formula of this Act, the rental charge 
     paid by any individual permittee shall be--
       (1) for the 1995-1996 permit year, either the rental charge 
     paid for the preceding 1994-1995 base year or the rental 
     charge calculated pursuant to this Act, whichever is higher;
       (2) for the 1996-1997 permit year, either the rental charge 
     paid for the 1994-1995 base year or the rental charge 
     calculated pursuant to this Act, whichever is higher;
       (3) for the 1997-1998 permit year, either the rental charge 
     for the 1994-1995 base year or the rental charge calculated 
     pursuant to this Act, whichever is higher.

     If an individual permittee's adjusted gross revenue for the 
     1995-1996, 1996-1997, or 1997-1998 permit years falls more 
     than 10 percent below the 1994-1995 base year, the rental 
     charge paid shall be the rental charge calculated pursuant to 
     this Act.
       (e) Under no circumstances shall revenue, or subpermittee 
     revenue (other than lift ticket, area use pass, or ski school 
     sales) obtained from operations physically located on non-
     national forest land be included in the ski area permit 
     rental charge calculation.
       (f) To reduce administrative costs of ski area permittees 
     and the Forest Service the terms ``revenue'' and ``sales'', 
     as used in this section, shall mean actual income from sales 
     and shall not include sales of operating equipment, refunds, 
     rent paid to the permittee by sublessees, sponsor 
     contributions to special events or any amounts attributable 
     to employee gratuities or employee lift tickets, discounts, 
     or other goods or services (except for bartered goods and 
     complimentary lift tickets) for which the permittee does not 
     receive money.
       (g) In cases where an area of national forest land is under 
     a ski area permit but the permittee does not have revenue or 
     sales qualifying for rental charge payment pursuant to 
     subsection (a), the permittee shall pay an annual minimum 
     rental charge of $2 for each national forest acre under 
     permit or a percentage of appraised land value, as determined 
     appropriate by the Secretary.
       (h) Where the new rental charge provided for in subsection 
     (b)(1) results in an increase in permit rental charge greater 
     than one half of one percent of the permittee's adjusted 
     gross revenue as determined under subsection (b)(1), the new 
     rental charge shall be phased in over a five year period in a 
     manner providing for increases of approximately equal 
     increments.
       (i) To reduce Federal costs in administering the provisions 
     of this Act, the reissuance of a ski area permit to provide 
     activities similar in nature and amount to the activities 
     provided under the previous permit shall not constitute a 
     major Federal action for the purposes of the National 
     Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4331 et seq.).

     SEC. 1702. WITHDRAWALS.

       Subject to valid existing rights, all lands located within 
     the boundaries of ski area permits issued prior to, on or 
     after the date of enactment of this Act pursuant to authority 
     of the Act of March 4, 1915 (38 Stat. 1101, chapter 144; 16 
     U.S.C. 497), and the Act of June 4, 1897, or the National 
     Forest Ski Area Permit Act of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 497b) are 
     hereby and henceforth automatically withdrawn from all forms 
     of appropriation under the mining laws and from disposition 
     under all laws pertaining to mineral and geothermal leasing 
     and all amendments thereto. Such withdrawal shall continue 
     for the full term of the permit and any modification, 
     reissuance, or renewal thereof. Unless the Secretary requests 
     otherwise of the Secretary of the Interior, such withdrawal 
     shall be canceled automatically upon expiration or other 
     termination of the permit and the land automatically restored 
     to all appropriation not otherwise restricted under the 
     public land laws.

     SEC. 1904. MANAGEMENT OF WITHDRAWN LANDS.

       (a) Management Guidelines.--(1) Except as provided in 
     section 1905, during the period of withdrawal the Secretary 
     of the Army shall manage for military purposes the lands 
     covered by this title and may authorize use of such lands 
     covered by the other military departments and agencies of the 
     Department of Defense, and the National Guard, as 
     appropriate.
       (2) When military operations, public safety, or national 
     security, as determined by the Secretary of the Army, require 
     the closure of roads or trails on the lands withdrawn by this 
     title commonly in public use, the Secretary of the Army is 
     authorized to take such action, except that such closures 
     shall be limited to the minimum areas and periods required

     warning notices shall be kept posted during closures.
       (3) The Secretary of the Army shall take necessary 
     precautions to prevent and suppress brush and range fires 
     occurring within and outside the lands as a result of 
     military activities and may seek assistance from the Bureau

     SEC. 1907. TERMINATION OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESERVATION AND 
                   EFFECT OF CONTAMINATION.

       (a) Termination Date.--The withdrawal and reservation 
     established by this title shall terminate 15 years after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act.
       (b) Determination of Continuing Military Need.--(1) At 
     least three years prior to the termination under subsection 
     (a) of the withdrawal and reservation established by this 
     title, the Secretary of the Army shall advise the Secretary 
     of the Interior as to whether or not the Department of the 
     Army will have a continuing military need for any of the 
     lands after the termination date.
       (2) If the Secretary of the Army concludes under paragraph 
     (1) that there will be a continuing military need for any of 
     the lands after the termination date established by 
     subsection (a), the Secretary of the Army, in accordance with 
     applicable law, shall evaluate the environmental effects of 
     renewal of such withdrawal and reservation, shall hold at 
     least one public hearing in Colorado concerning such 
     evaluation, and shall thereafter file an application for 
     extension of the withdrawal and reservation of such lands in 
     accordance with the regulations and procedures of the 
     Department of the Interior applicable to the extension of 
     withdrawals for military uses. The Secretary of the Interior 
     shall notify the Congress concerning such filing.
       (3) If the Secretary of the Army concludes under paragraph 
     (1) that prior to the termination date established by 
     subsection (a), there will be no military need for all or any 
     of the lands withdrawn and reserved by this Act, or if, 
     during the period of withdrawal, the Secretary of the Army 
     shall file a notice of intention to relinquish with the 
     Secretary of the Interior.
       (c) Determination of Contamination.--Prior to the filing of 
     a notice of intention to relinquish pursuant to subsection 
     (b)(3), the Secretary of the Army shall prepare a written 
     determination as to whether and to what extent the lands are 
     contaminated with explosive, toxic, or other hazardous 
     materials. A copy of the determination made by the Secretary 
     of the Army shall be supplied with the notice of intention to 
     relinquish. 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.
       (d) Effect of Contamination.--(1) If any land which is the 
     subject of a notice of intention to relinquish under 
     subsection (b)(3) is contaminated, and the Secretary of the 
     Interior, in consultation with the Secretary of the Army, 
     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 the operation of 
     some or all of the public land laws, including the mining 
     laws, the Secretary of the Army shall decontaminate the land 
     to the extent that funds are appropriated for such purpose.
       (2) If the Secretaries of the Army and the Interior 
     conclude either that the contamination of any or all of the 
     lands proposed for relinquishment is not practicable or 
     economically feasible, or that the lands cannot be 
     decontaminated sufficiently to allow them to be opened to the 
     operation of the public land laws, or if Congress declined to 
     appropriate funds for decontamination of the lands, the 
     Secretary of the Interior shall not be required to accept the 
     lands proposed for relinquishment.
       (3) If, because of their contaminated state, the Secretary 
     of the Interior declines under paragraph (2) to accept 
     jurisdiction of the lands proposed for relinquishment, or if 
     at the expiration of the withdrawal made by this title the 
     Secretary of the Interior 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--
       (A) the Secretary of the Army shall take appropriate steps 
     to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands 
     and any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
       (B) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary 
     of the Army shall undertake no activities on such lands 
     except in connection with decontamination of such lands; and
       (C) the Secretary of the Army shall report to the Secretary 
     of the Interior and to the Congress concerning the status of 
     such lands and all actions taken in furtherance of the 
     subsection.
       (4) If the lands are subsequently decontaminated, upon 
     certification by the Secretary of the Army that the lands are 
     safe for all nonmilitary uses, the Secretary of the Interior 
     shall reconsider accepting jurisdiction over the lands.
       (5) Nothing in this title shall affect, or be construed to 
     affect, the Secretary's obligations, if any, to decontaminate 
     such lands pursuant to applicable law, including but not 
     limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response 
     Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), and 
     the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource 
     Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.).
       (e) Program of Decontamination.--Throughout the duration of 
     the withdrawal and reservation made by the title, the 
     Secretary of the Army, to the extent funds are made 
     available, shall maintain a program of decontamination of the 
     lands withdrawn by this title at least at the level of effort 
     carried out during fiscal year 1992.

[[Page S5290]]

       (f) Acceptance of Lands Proposed for Relinquishment.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of 
     the Interior, upon deciding that it is in the public interest 
     to accept jurisdiction over those lands proposed for 
     relinquishment, is authorized to revoke the withdrawal and 
     reservation established by this title as it applies to the 
     lands proposed for relinquishment. Should the decision be 
     made to revoke the withdrawal and reservation, the Secretary 
     of the Interior 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 of the Interior; and
       (3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to 
     the operation of the public land laws, including the mining 
     laws if appropriate.

                 TITLE XX--SNOWBASIN LAND EXCHANGE ACT

     SEC. 2001. FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in June 1995, Salt Lake City, Utah, was selected to 
     host the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and the Snowbasin Ski 
     Resort, which is owned by the Sun Valley Company, was 
     identified as the site of six Olympic events: the men's and 
     women's downhills, men's and women's Super-Gs, and men's and 
     women's combined downhills;
       (2) in order to adequately accommodate these events, which 
     are traditionally among the most popular and heavily attended 
     at the Winter Olympic Games, major new skiing, visitor, and 
     support facilities will have to be constructed at the 
     Snowbasin Ski Resort on land currently administered by the 
     United States Forest Service;
       (3) while certain of these new facilities can be 
     accommodated on National Forest land under traditional Forest 
     Service permitting authorities, the base area facilities 
     necessary to host visitors to the ski area and the Winter 
     Olympics are of such a nature that they should logically be 
     located on private land;
       (4) land exchanges have been routinely utilized by the 
     Forest Service to transfer base area lands to many other ski 
     areas, and the Forest Service and the Sun Valley Company have 
     concluded that a land exchange to transfer base area lands at 
     the Snowbasin Ski Resort to the Sun Valley Company is both 
     logical and advisable;
       (5) an environmental impact statement and numerous resource 
     studies have been completed by the Forest Service and the Sun 
     Valley Company for the lands proposed to be transferred to 
     the Sun Valley Company by this title;
       (6) the Sun Valley Company has assembled lands with 
     outstanding environmental, recreational, and other values to 
     convey to the Forest Service in return for the lands it will 
     receive in the exchange, and the Forest Service has 
     identified such lands as desirable for acquisition by the 
     United States; and
       (7) completion of a land exchange and approval of a 
     development plan for Olympic related facilities at the 
     Snowbasin Ski Resort is essential to ensure that all 
     necessary facilities can be constructed, tested for safety 
     and other purposes, and become fully operational in advance 
     of the 2002 Winter Olympics and earlier pre-Olympic events.
       (b) Determination.--The Congress has reviewed the previous 
     analyses and studies of the lands to be exchanged and 
     developed pursuant to this title, and has made its own review 
     of these lands and issues involved, and on the basis of those 
     reviews hereby finds and determines that a legislated land 
     exchange and development plan approval with respect to 
     certain National Forest System Lands is necessary to meet 
     Olympic goals and timetables.

     SEC. 2002. PURPOSE AND INTENT.

       The purpose of this title is to authorize and direct the 
     Secretary to exchange 1,320 acres of federally-owned land 
     within the Cache National Forest in the State of Utah for 
     lands of approximately equal value owned by the Sun Valley 
     Company. It is the intent of Congress that this exchange be 
     completed without delay within the period specified by 
     section 2004.

     Secretary and the Sun Valley Company are unable to agree to 
     the appraised value of a certain tract or tracts of land, the 
     appraisal, appraisals, or appraisal issues in dispute and a 
     final determination of value shall be resolved through a

     entity for its highest and best use as if in private 
     ownership and as of the date of enactment of this Act;

     as though in the private marketplace and suitable for 
     development to its highest and best use;

     selected lands based on the existence of private lands owned 
     by the Sun Valley Company in the vicinity of the Snowbasin 
     Ski Resort, and shall assume that private lands owned by the 
     Sun Valley Company are not available for use in conjunction 
     with the Federal selected lands.

     SEC. 2005. GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE EXCHANGE.

       (a) In General.--The exchange authorized by this title 
     shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
       (1) Reserved rights-of-way.--In any deed issued pursuant to 
     section 5(a), the Secretary shall reserve in the United 
     States a right of reasonable access across the conveyed 
     property for public access and for administrative purposes of 
     the United States necessary to manage adjacent federally-
     owned lands. The terms of such reservation shall be 
     prescribed by the Secretary within 30 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act.
       (2) Right of rescission.--This title shall not be binding 
     on either the United States or the Sun Valley Company if, 
     within 30 days after the final determination of value of the 
     Federal selected lands, the Sun Valley Company submits to the 
     Secretary a duly authorized and executed resolution of the 
     Company stating its intention not to enter into the exchange 
     authorized by this title.
       (b) Withdrawal.--Subject to valid existing rights, 
     effective on the date of enactment of this Act, the Federal 
     selected lands described in section 5(a)(2) and all National 
     Forest System lands currently under special use permit to the 
     Sun Valley Company at the Snowbasin Ski Resort are hereby 
     withdrawn from all forms of appropriation under the public 
     land laws (including the mining laws) and from disposition 
     under all laws pertaining to mineral and geothermal leasing.
       (c) Deed.--The conveyance of the offered lands to the 
     United States under this title shall be by general warranty 
     or other deed acceptable to the Secretary and in conformity 
     with applicable title standards of the Attorney General of 
     the United States.
       (d) Status of Lands.--Upon acceptance of title by the 
     Secretary, the land conveyed to the United States pursuant to 
     this title shall become part of the Wasatch or Cache National 
     Forests as appropriate, and the boundaries of such National 
     Forests shall be adjusted to encompass such lands. Once 
     conveyed, such lands shall be managed in accordance with the 
     Act of March 1, 1911, as amended (commonly known as the 
     ``Weeks Act''), and in accordance with the other laws, rules 
     and regulations applicable to National Forest System lands. 
     This subsection does not limit the Secretary's authority to 
     adjust the boundaries pursuant to section 11 of the Act of 
     March 1, 1911 (``Weeks Act''). For the purposes of section 7 
     of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16

     National Forests, as adjusted by this title, shall be

       (a) Phase I Facility Finding and Review.--(1) The Congress 
     has reviewed the Snowbasin Ski Area Master Development Plan 
     dated October 1995 (hereinafter in this section referred to 
     as the ``Master Plan''). On the basis of such review, and 
     review of previously completed environmental and other 
     resource studies for the Snowbasin Ski Area, Congress hereby 
     finds that the ``Phase I'' facilities referred to in the 
     Master Plan to be located on National Forest System land 
     after consummation of the land exchange directed by this 
     title are limited in size and scope, are reasonable and 
     necessary to accommodate the 2002 Olympics, and in some cases 
     are required to provide for the safety of skiing competitors 
     and spectators.
       (2) Within 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
     the Secretary and the Sun Valley Company shall review the 
     Master Plan insofar as such plan pertains to Phase I 
     facilities which are to be constructed and operated wholly or 
     partially on National Forest System lands retained by the 
     Secretary after consummation of the land exchange directed by 
     this title. The Secretary may modify such Phase I facilities 
     upon mutual agreement with the Sun Valley Company or by 
     imposing conditions pursuant to subsection (b) of this 
     section.
       (3) Within 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, 
     the Secretary shall submit the reviewed Master Plan on the 
     Phase I facilities, including any modifications made thereto 
     pursuant to paragraph (2), to the Committee on Energy and 
     Natural Resources of the United States Senate and the 
     Committee on Resources of the United States House of 
     Representatives for a 30-day review period. At the end of the 
     30-day period, unless otherwise directed by Act of Congress, 
     the Secretary may issue all necessary authorizations for 
     construction and operation of such facilities or 
     modifications thereof in accordance with the procedures and 
     provisions of subsection (b) of this section.
       (b) Phase I Facility Approval, Conditions, and Timetable.--
     Within 120 days of receipt of an application by the Sun 
     Valley Company to authorize construction and operation of any 
     particular Phase I facility, facilities, or group of 
     facilities, the Secretary, in consultation with the Sun 
     Valley Company, shall authorize construction and operation of 
     such facility, facilities, or group of facilities, subject to 
     the general policies of the Forest Service pertaining to the 
     construction and operation of ski area facilities on National 
     Forest System lands and subject to reasonable conditions to 
     protect National Forest System resources. In providing 
     authorization to construct and operate a facility, 
     facilities, or group of facilities, the Secretary may not 
     impose any condition that would significantly change the 
     location, size, or scope of the applied for Phase I facility 
     unless--
       (1) the modification is mutually agreed to by the Secretary 
     and the Sun Valley Company; or
       (2) the modification is necessary to protect health and 
     safety.

     Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the 
     Secretary's responsibility to monitor and assure compliance 
     with the conditions set forth in the construction and 
     operation authorization.
       (c) Congressional Directions.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, Congress finds that consummation of the 
     land exchange directed by this title and all determinations, 
     authorizations, and actions taken by the Secretary pursuant 
     to this title pertaining to Phase I facilities on National 
     Forest System lands, or any modifications thereof, to be 
     nondiscretionary actions authorized and directed by Congress 
     and hence to comply with all procedural and other 
     requirements of the laws of the United States. Such 
     determinations, authorizations, and actions shall not be 
     subject to administrative or judicial review.

     SEC. 2007. NO PRECEDENT.

       Nothing in section 2004(d)(2) of this title relating to 
     conditions or limitations on the appraisal of the Federal 
     lands, or any provision of section 2006 relating to the 
     approval by the Congress or the Forest Service of facilities 
     on National Forest System lands, shall be construed as a 
     precedent for subsequent legislation.

                    TITLE XXV--RIO PUERCO WATERSHED

     SEC. 2501. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) over time, extensive ecological changes have occurred 
     in the Rio Puerco watershed, including--
       (A) erosion of agricultural and range lands;
       (B) impairment of waters due to heavy sedimentations;
       (C) reduced productivity of renewable resources;
       (D) loss of biological diversity;
       (E) loss of functioning riparian areas; and
       (F) loss of available surface water;
       (2) damage to the watershed has seriously affected the 
     economic and cultural well-being of its inhabitants, 
     including--
       (A) loss of communities that were based on the land and 
     were self-sustaining; and
       (B) adverse effects on the traditions, customs, and 
     cultures of the affected communities;
       (3) a healthy and sustainable ecosystem is essential to the 
     long-term economic and cultural viability of the region;
       (4) the impairment of the Rio Puerco watershed has caused 
     damage to the ecological and economic well-being of the area 
     below the junction of the Rio Puerco with the Rio Grande, 
     including--
       (A) disruption of ecological processes;
       (B) water quality impairment;
       (C) significant reduction in the water storage capacity and 
     life expectancy of the Elephant Butte Dam and Reservoir 
     system due to sedimentation;
       (D) chronic problems of irrigation system channel 
     maintenance; and
       (E) increased risk of flooding caused by sediment 
     accumulation;
       (5) the Rio Puerco is a major tributary of the Rio Grande, 
     and the coordinated implementation of ecosystem-based best 
     management practices for the Rio Puerco system could benefit 
     the larger Rio Grande system;
       (6) the Rio Puerco watershed has been stressed from the 
     loss of native vegetation, introduction of exotic species, 
     and alteration of riparian habitat which have disrupted the 
     original dynamics of the river and disrupted natural 
     ecological processes;
       (7) the Rio Puerco watershed is a mosaic of private, 
     Federal, tribal trust, and State land

[[Page S5293]]

     ownership with diverse, sometimes differing management 
     objectives;
       (8) development, implementation, and monitoring of an 
     effective watershed management program for the Rio Puerco 
     watershed is best achieved through cooperation among affected 
     Federal, State, local, and tribal entities;
       (9) the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the 
     Director of the bureau of Land Management, in consultation 
     with Federal, State, local, and tribal entitles and in 
     cooperation with the Rio Puerco Watershed Committee, is best 
     suited to coordinate management efforts in the Rio Puerco 
     Watershed; and
       (10) accelerating the pace of improvement in the Rio Puerco 
     Watershed on a coordinated, cooperative basis will benefit 
     persons living in the watershed as well as downstream users 
     on the Rio Grande.

                    TITLE XXX--CUPRUM, IDAHO RELIEF

     SEC. 3001. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that:
       (1) In 1899, the citizens of Cuprum, Idaho, commissioned 
     E.S. Hesse to conduct a survey describing these lands 
     occupied by their community. The purpose of this survey was 
     to provide a basis for the application for a townsite patent.
       (2) In 1909, the Cuprum Townsite patent (Number 52817) was 
     granted, based on an aliquot parts description which was 
     intended to circumscribe the Hesse survey.
       (3) Since the day of the patent, the Hesse survey has been 
     used continuously by the community of Cuprum and by Adams 
     Country, Idaho, as the official townsite plat and basis for 
     conveyance of title within the townsite.
       (4) Recent boundary surveys conducted by the United States 
     Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, and the United 
     States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, 
     discovered inconsistencies between the official aliquot parts 
     description of the patented Cuprum Townsite and the Hesse 
     survey. Many lots along the south and east boundaries of the 
     townsite are now known to extend onto National Forest System 
     lands outside the townsite.
       (5) It is the determination of Congress that the original 
     intent of the Cuprum Townsite application was to include all 
     the lands described by the Hesse survey.
       (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this title to amend the 
     1909 Cuprum Townsite patent to include those additional lands 
     described by the

[[Page S5295]]

     Hesse survey in addition to other lands necessary to provide 
     an administratively acceptable boundary to the National 
     Forest System.

     SEC. 3002. AMENDMENT OF PATENT.

       (a) The 1909 Cuprum Townsite patent is hereby amended to 
     include parcels 1 and 2, identified on the plat, marked as 
     ``Township 20 North, Range 3 West, Boise Meridian, Idaho, 
     Section 10: Proposed Patent Adjustment Cuprum Townsite, 
     Idaho'' prepared by Payette N.F.--Land Survey Unit, drawn and 
     approved by Tom Betzold, Forest Land Surveyor, on April 25, 
     1995. Such additional lands are hereby conveyed to the 
     original patentee, Pitts Ellis, trustee, and Probate Judge of 
     Washington County, Idaho, or any successors or assigns in 
     interest in accordance with State law. The Secretary of 
     Agriculture may correct clerical and typographical errors in 
     such plat.
       (b) The Federal Government shall survey the Federal 
     property lines and mark and post the boundaries necessary to 
     implement this section.

     SEC. 3003. RELEASE.

       Notwithstanding section 120 of the Comprehensive 
     Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 
     1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. 9620), the United States shall 
     not be liable and shall be held harmless from any and all 
     claims resulting from substances or petroleum products or any 
     other hazardous materials on the conveyed land.

            TITLE XXXI--ARKANSAS AND OKLAHOMA LAND EXCHANGE

     SEC. 3101. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that:
       (1) The Weyerhaeuser Company has offered to the United 
     States Government an exchange of lands under which 
     Weyerhaeuser would receive approximately 48,000 acres of 
     Federal land in Arkansas and Oklahoma and all mineral 
     interests and oil and gas interests pertaining to these 
     exchanged lands in which the United States Government has an 
     interest in return for conveying to the United States lands 
     owned by Weyerhaeuser consisting of approximately 180,000 
     acres of forested wetlands and other forest land of public 
     interest in Arkansas and Oklahoma and all mineral interests 
     and all oil and gas interest pertaining to 48,000 acres of 
     these 180,000 acres of exchanged lands in which Weyerhaeuser 
     has an interest, consisting of:
       (A) certain lands in Arkansas (Arkansas Ouachita lands) 
     located near Poteau Mountain, Caney Creek Wilderness, Lake 
     Ouachita, Little Missouri Wild and Scenic River, Flatside 
     Wilderness and the Ouachita National Forest;
       (B) certain lands in Oklahoma (Oklahoma lands) located near 
     the McCurtain County Wilderness, the Broken Bow Reservoir, 
     the Glover River, and the Ouachita National Forest; and
       (C) certain lands in Arkansas (Arkansas Cossatot lands) 
     located on the Little and Cossatot Rivers and identified as 
     the ``Pond Creek Bottoms'' in the Lower Mississippi River 
     Delta section of the North American Waterfowl Management 
     Plan;
       (2) acquisition of the Arkansas Cossatot lands by the 
     United States will remove the lands in the heart of a 
     critical wetland ecosystem from sustained timber production 
     and other development;
       (3) the acquisition of the Arkansas Ouachita lands and the 
     Oklahoma lands by the United States for administration by the 
     Forest Service will provide an opportunity for enhancement of 
     ecosystem management of the National Forest System lands and 
     resources;
       (4) the Arkansas Ouachita lands and the Oklahoma lands have 
     outstanding wildlife habitat and important recreational 
     values and should continue to be made available for 
     activities such as public hunting, fishing, trapping, nature 
     observation, enjoyment, education, and timber management 
     whenever these activities are consistent with applicable 
     Federal laws and land and resource management plans; these 
     lands, especially in the riparian zones, also harbor 
     endangered, threatened and sensitive plants and animals and 
     the conservation and restoration of these areas are important 
     to the recreational and educational public uses and will 
     represent a valuable ecological resource which should be 
     conserved;
       (5) the private use of the lands the United States will 
     convey to Weyerhaeuser will not conflict with established 
     management objectives on adjacent Federal lands;
       (6) the lands the United States will convey to Weyerhaeuser 
     as part of the exchange described in paragraph (1) do not 
     contain comparable fish, wildlife, or wetland values;
       (7) the values of all lands, mineral interests, and oil and 
     gas interests to be exchanged between the United States and 
     Weyerhaeuser are approximately equal in value; and
       (8) the exchange of lands, mineral interests, and oil and 
     gas interests between Weyerhaeuser and the United States is 
     in the public interest.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this title is to authorize and 
     direct the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of 
     Agriculture, subject to the terms of this title, to complete, 
     as expeditiously as possible, an exchange of lands, mineral 
     interests, and oil and gas interests with Weyerhaeuser that 
     will provide environmental, land management, recreational, 
     and economic benefits to the States of Arkansas and Oklahoma 
     and to the United States.

     1995, as required by Public Law 103-46; and
       (3) failure to consummate such land exchanges by the end of 
     the three-year extension provided by this Act will 
     necessitate further intervention and direction from Congress 
     concerning such land exchanges.

     submitted by the owners of the private lands.''.
       (c) Limitation.--Subsection (d) of the first section of 
     such Act (16 U.S.C. 698(d)), as amended by subsection (b), is 
     further amended by adding at the end the following: ``The

           TITLE XXXIII--TALLGRASS PRAIRIE NATIONAL PRESERVE

     SEC. 3301. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Tallgrass Prairie National 
     Preserve Act of 1996''.

     SEC. 3302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) of the 400,000 square miles of tallgrass prairie that 
     once covered the North American Continent, less than 1 
     percent remains, primarily in the Flint Hills of Kansas;
       (2) in 1991, the National Park Service conducted a special 
     resource study of the Spring Hill Ranch, located in the Flint 
     Hills of Kansas;
       (3) the study concludes that the Spring Hill Ranch--
       (A) is a nationally significant example of the once vast 
     tallgrass ecosystem, and includes buildings listed on the
