                 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.

     SEC. 102. AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SECRETARY OF 
                   THE INTERIOR.

       (a) Interim Authority.--The Secretary of the Interior 
     (hereinafter in this title referred to as the ``Secretary'') 
     is authorized to manage leases in existence on the date of 
     this Act for properties under the administrative jurisdiction 
     of the Secretary and located at the Presidio. Upon the 
     expiration of any such lease, the Secretary may extend such 
     lease for a period terminating not later than 6 months after 
     the first meeting of the Presidio Trust. The Secretary may 
     not enter into any new leases for property at the Presidio to 
     be transferred to the Presidio Trust under this title, 
     however, the Secretary is authorized to enter into agreements 
     for use and occupancy of the Presidio properties which are 
     assignable to the Trust and are terminable with 30 days 
     notice. Prior to the transfer of administrative jurisdiction 
     over any property to the Presidio Trust, and notwithstanding 
     section 1341 of title 31 of the United States Code, the 
     proceeds from any such lease shall be retained by 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.
       (b) Public Information and Interpretation.--The Secretary 
     shall be responsible, in cooperation with the Presidio Trust, 
     for providing public interpretive services, visitor 
     orientation and educational programs on all lands within the 
     Presidio.
       (c) Other.--Those lands and facilities 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 
     the Presidio. Any infrastructure and building improvement 
     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 
     of the transfer of lands and facilities to the Presidio 
     Trust, shall not be separated from the Service by reason of 
     such transfer, unless such employee is employed by the Trust, 
     other than on detail. Notwithstanding section 3503 of title 
     5, United States Code, the Trust shall have sole discretion 
     over whether to hire any such employee or request a detail of 
     such employee.
       (2) Any career employee of the National Park Service 
     employed at the Presidio on the date of enactment of this 
     title shall be given priority placement for any available 
     position within the National Park System notwithstanding any 
     priority reemployment lists, directives, rules, regulations 
     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.

     request from the Trust for the transfer of any parcel within 
     the area depicted as Area B on the map entitled ``Presidio 
     Trust Number 1'', dated December 7, 1995, the Secretary shall 
     transfer such parcel to the administrative jurisdiction of 
     the Trust. Within 1 year after the first meeting of the Board 
     of Directors of the Trust, the Secretary shall transfer to

     parcels within Area B. Such map shall be on file and 
     available for public inspection in the offices of the Trust 
     and in the offices of the National Park Service, Department 
     of the Interior. The Trust and the Secretary may jointly make 
     technical and clerical revisions in the boundary depicted on

     portions of the building identified as number 102 as the 
     Secretary deems essential for use as a visitor center. The 
     Building shall be named the ``William Penn Mott Visitor 
     Center''. Any parcel of land, the jurisdiction over which is 
     transferred pursuant to this subsection, shall remain within

     With the consent of the Secretary, the Trust may at any time 
     transfer to the administrative jurisdiction of the Secretary 
     any other properties within the Presidio which are surplus to 
     the needs of the Trust and which serve essential purposes of 
     the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Trust is 
     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.
       (2) Within 60 days after the first meeting of the Board of

     immediate administration of the properties to be transferred, 
     and the Secretary shall immediately transfer such personal 
     property to the Trust. Within 1 year after the first meeting 
     of the Board of Directors of the Trust, the Trust and the 
     Secretary shall determine cooperatively what, if any, 
     additional records, equipment, and other personal property 
     used by the Secretary in the administration of the properties 
     to be transferred should be transferred to the Trust.
       (3) The Secretary shall transfer, with the transfer of 
     administrative jurisdiction over any property, the 
     unobligated balance of all funds appropriated to the 
     Secretary, all leases, concessions, licenses, permits, and 
     other agreements affecting such property.

     purposes set forth in section 1 of the Act entitled ``An Act 
     to establish the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in the 
     State of California, and for other purposes'', approved 
     October 27, 1972 (Public Law 92-589; 86 Stat. 1299; 16 U.S.C. 
     460bb), and in accordance with the general objectives of the 
     General Management Plan (hereinafter referred to as the 
     ``management plan'') approved for the Presidio.
       (b) Authorities.--The Trust may participate in the 
     development of programs and activities at the properties 
     transferred to the Trust, except that the Trust shall have 
     the authority to negotiate and enter into such agreements, 
     leases, contracts and other arrangements with any person, 
     firm, association, organization, corporation or governmental 
     entity, including, without limitation, entities of Federal, 
     State and local governments as are necessary and appropriate 
     to carry out its authorized activities. Any such agreement 
     may be entered into without regard to section 321 of the Act 
     of June 30, 1932 (40 U.S.C. 303b). The Trust shall establish 
     procedures for lease agreements and other agreements for use 
     and occupancy of Presidio facilities, including a requirement 
     that in entering into such agreements the Trust shall obtain 
     reasonable competition. The Trust may not dispose of or 
     convey fee title to any real property transferred to it under 
     this title. Federal laws and regulations governing 
     procurement by Federal agencies shall not apply to the Trust, 
     with the exception of laws and regulations related to Federal 
     government contracts governing working conditions and wage 
     rates, including the provisions of sections 276a-276a-6 of

       (c) Management Program.--The Trust shall develop a 
     comprehensive program for management of those lands and 
     facilities within the Presidio which are transferred to the 
     administrative jurisdiction of the Trust. Such program shall 
     be designed to reduce expenditures by the National Park 
     Service and increase 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--

     principal or interest on, or redemption of, obligations 
     issued under this paragraph.

     SEC. 212. CUPRUM, IDAHO RELIEF.

       (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 section to amend 
     the 1909 Cuprum Townsite patent to include those additional 
     lands described by the Hesse survey in addition to other 
     lands necessary to provide an administratively acceptable 
     boundary to the National Forest System.
       (c) Amendment of Patent.--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.
       (d) Survey.--The Federal Government shall survey the 
     Federal property lines and mark and post the boundaries 
     necessary to implement this section.

     SEC. 302. ANAKTUVUK PASS LAND EXCHANGE.

       (a) Findings.--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.
       (b) Ratification of Agreement.--
       (1) Ratification.--
       (A) In general.--The terms, conditions, procedures, 
     covenants, reservations, and other provisions set forth in

     Corporation, City of Anaktuvuk Pass and the United States of 
     America'' (hereinafter referred to in this section as ``the 
     Agreement''), executed by the parties on December 17, 1992, 
     as amended, are hereby incorporated in this title, are 
     ratified and confirmed, and set forth the obligations and 
     commitments of the United States, Arctic Slope Regional 
     Corporation, Nunamiut Corporation and the City of Anaktuvuk 
     Pass, as a matter of Federal law.
       (B) Land acquisition.--Lands acquired by the United States 
     pursuant to the Agreement shall be administered by the 
     Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter referred to as the 
     ``Secretary'') as part of Gates of the Arctic National Park 
     and Preserve, subject to the laws and regulations applicable 
     thereto.
       (2) Maps.--The maps set forth as Exhibits C1, C2, and D 
     through I to the Agreement depict the lands subject to the

     Redesignation, Gates of the Arctic National Park and 
     Preserve'', Map No. 185/80,039, dated April 1994, and on file

     depicted on a map entitled ``Wilderness Actions, Proposed

     sixty thousand acres'' and inserting in lieu thereof 
     ``approximately 6,477,168 acres''; and
       (B) inserting ``and the map entitled ``Noatak National 
     Preserve and Noatak Wilderness Addition'' dated September 
     1994'' after ``July 1980''.
       (3) Noatak wilderness.--Section 701(7) of the Alaska

     amended by striking ``approximately five million eight

     ``approximately 5,817,168 acres''.
       (d) Conformance With Other Law.--

     or interests therein, conveyed to and received by Arctic 
     Slope Regional Corporation or Nunamiut Corporation pursuant

     pursuant to the Agreement shall be conveyed subject to valid

     Except to the extent specifically set forth in this section 
     or the Agreement, nothing in this section or in the Agreement

       (iii) Submission of appraisal report.--Not later than 180 
     days after the selection of an appraiser pursuant to clause 
     (i), the appraiser shall submit to the Secretary and to 
     Koniag a written appraisal report specifying the value of the 
     selection rights and the methodology used to arrive at the 
     value.
       (C) Determination of value.--
       (i) Determination by the secretary.--Not later than 60 days 
     after the date of the receipt of the appraisal report under 
     subparagraph (B)(iii), the Secretary shall determine the 
     value of the selection rights and shall notify Koniag of the 
     determination.
       (ii) Alternative determination of value.--

       (I) In general.--Subject to subclause (II), if Koniag does 
     not agree with the value determined by the Secretary under 
     clause (i), the procedures specified in section 206(d) of the 
     Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 
     1716 (d)) shall be used to establish the value.
       (II) Average value limitation.--The average value per acre 
     of the selection rights shall not be less than the value 
     utilizing the risk adjusted discount cash flow methodology, 
     but in no event may exceed $300.

       (c) Koniag Account.--
       (1) In general.--(A) 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.
       (B) If the value of the Federal property to be exchanged is 
     less than the value of the Selection Rights established in 
     subsection (b), 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.
       (C) For the purposes of any exchange to be consummated 
     under this section, 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 subsection (b) hereof and the 
     denominator of which is the total number of acres of 
     selection rights.
       (2) Additional exchanges.--If, after 10 years from the date 
     of the enactment of this section, 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 (A) declining to proceed with the exchange and identifying 
     other property, or (B) paying the difference in value between 
     the property rights.
       (d) Certain Conveyances.--
       (1) 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.
       (2) 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.

     dated October 1995.
       (2) Non-federal offered lands.--Upon transfer of the 
     Federal selected lands under paragraph (1), and in exchange 
     for those lands, the Sun Valley Company shall simultaneously 
     convey to the Secretary all right, title and interest of the 
     Sun Valley Company in and to so much of the following offered 
     lands which have been previously identified by the United 
     States Forest Service as desirable by the United States, or 
     which are identified pursuant to subparagraph (E) prior to 
     the transfer of lands under paragraph (1), as are of 
     approximate equal value to the Federal selected lands:
       (A) Certain lands located within the exterior boundaries of 
     the Cache National Forest in Weber County, Utah, which 
     comprise approximately 640 acres and are generally depicted

     United States due to appraisal or other reasons, or if the 
     Secretary and the Sun Valley Company mutually agree and the 
     Secretary determines that an alternative offered land package 
     would better serve long term public needs and objectives, the 
     Sun Valley Company may simultaneously convey to the United 
     States alternative offered lands in the State of Utah 
     acceptable to the Secretary in lieu of any or all of the 
     lands identified in subparagraphs (A) through (D) of 
     paragraph (2).

     Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. The appraisal 
     reports shall be written to Federal standards as defined in 
     the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land 
     Acquisitions. If, due to size, location, or use of lands 
     exchanged under this section, the values are not exactly 
     equal, they shall be equalized by the payment of cash 
     equalization money to the Secretary or the Sun Valley Company 
     as appropriate in accordance with section 206(b) of the 
     Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 
     1716(b)). In order to expedite the consummation of the 
     exchange directed by this section, the Sun Valley Company 
     shall arrange and pay for appraisals of the offered and 
     selected lands by a qualified appraiser with experience in 
     appraising similar properties and who is mutually acceptable 
     to the Sun Valley Company and the Secretary. The appraisal of 
     the Federal selected lands shall be completed and submitted 
     to the Secretary for technical review and approval no later 
     than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and 
     the Secretary shall make a determination of value not later 
     than 30 days after receipt of the appraisal. In the event the 
     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 
     process of bargaining or submission to arbitration in 
     accordance with section 206(d) of the Federal Land Policy and 
     Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1716(d)).
       (B) In order to expedite the appraisal of the Federal 
     selected lands, such appraisal shall--
       (i) value the land in its unimproved state, as a single 
     entity for its highest and best use as if in private 
     ownership and as of the date of enactment of this Act;
       (ii) consider the Federal lands as an independent property 
     as though in the private marketplace and suitable for 
     development to its highest and best use;
       (iii) consider in the appraisal any encumbrance on the 
     title anticipated to be in the conveyance to Sun Valley 
     Company and reflect its effect on the fair market value of 
     the property; and
       (iv) not reflect any enhancement in value to the Federal 
     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.
       (d) General Provisions Relating to the Exchange.--

[[Page H10992]]

       (1) In general.--The exchange authorized by this section 
     shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
       (A) Reserved rights-of-way.--In any deed issued pursuant to 
     subsection (c)(1), 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.
       (B) Right of rescission.--This section 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 section.
       (2) Withdrawal.--Subject to valid existing rights, 
     effective on the date of enactment of this Act, the Federal 
     selected lands described in subsection (c)(1) 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.
       (3) Deed.--The conveyance of the offered lands to the 
     United States under this section 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.
       (4) Status of lands.--Upon acceptance of title by the 
     Secretary, the land conveyed to the United States pursuant to 
     this section 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 paragraph 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 
     U.S.C. 4601-9), the boundaries of the Wasatch and Cache 
     National Forests, as adjusted by this section, shall be 
     considered to be boundaries of the forests as of January 1, 
     1965.
       (e) Phase Facility Construction and Operation.--
       (1) Phase i facility finding and review.--(A) The Congress 
     has reviewed the Snowbasin Ski Area Master Development Plan 
     dated October 1995 (hereinafter in this subsection 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 
     section 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.
       (B) 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 section. The Secretary may modify such Phase I 
     facilities upon mutual agreement with the Sun Valley Company 
     or by imposing conditions pursuant to paragraph (2) of this 
     subsection.
       (C) 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 subparagraph (B), 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 paragraph (2) of this subsection.
       (2) 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--
       (A) the modification is mutually agreed to by the Secretary 
     and the Sun Valley Company; or
       (B) the modification is necessary to protect health and 
     safety.

     Nothing in this subsection 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.
       (3) Congressional directions.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, Congress finds that consummation of the 
     land exchange directed by this section and all 
     determinations, authorizations, and actions taken by the 
     Secretary pursuant to this section 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.
       (f) No Precedent.--Nothing in subsection (c)(4)(B) of this 
     section relating to conditions or limitations on the 
     appraisal of the Federal lands, or any provision of 
     subsection (e), 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.

     SEC. 305. ARKANSAS AND OKLAHOMA LAND EXCHANGE.

       (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 181,000 
     acres of forested wetlands and other forest land of public 
     interest in Arkansas and Oklahoma and all mineral interests 
     and all oil and gas interests pertaining to 48,000 acres of 
     these 181,000 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 section 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.
       (c) Definitions.--As used in this section:
       (1) Land.--The terms ``land'' or ``lands'' mean the surface 
     estate and any other interests therein except for mineral 
     interests and oil and gas interests.

     but not limited to, coal, lignite, peat, rock, sand, gravel, 
     and quartz.
       (3) Oil and gas interests.--The term ``oil and gas 
     interests'' means all oil and gas of any nature, including 
     carbon dioxide, helium, and gas taken from coal seams 
     (collectively ``oil and gas'').
       (4) Secretaries.--The term ``Secretaries'' means the 
     Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture.

     notwithstanding any other provision of law, within 90 days 
     after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
     Agriculture shall convey to Weyerhaeuser, subject to any 
     valid existing rights, approximately 20,000 acres of Federal

     paragraph (5).
       (5) The city of Greeley's one-half interest in the

       (6) The Federal Exchange Lands to be exchanged under

     exchange deed issued by an authorized officer of the United 
     States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, and 
     notwithstanding any other requirements of law, the Secretary 
     of Agriculture is authorized to conduct and approve all 
     cadastral surveys necessary for completion of the exchange.
       (7) Values of the respective lands exchanged between the 
     United States and the city of Greeley and The Water Supply 
     and Storage Company pursuant to subsection (a) are deemed to 
     be of approximately equal value, without any need for cash 
     equalization, as based on statements of value prepared by a 
     qualified Forest Service Review Appraiser.
       (8) It is recognized that some Federal lands to be conveyed 
     to the city of Greeley and The Water Supply and Storage 
     Company will create new holdings in otherwise consolidated

     to permanently discontinue reservoir operations on any of the 
     properties acquired through this exchange, the United States 
     Forest Service, Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest Supervisor 
     shall be advised of the intent to perform nonreconstructive

     Fork of the Cache la Poudre River, are already fully

     consultation under the National Historic Preservation Act. 
     Should the city of Greeley seek enlargement of Seaman 
     Reservoir or construction of a new dam on the North Fork of 
     the Poudre River below Seaman Reservoir for a Seaman 
     Reservoir Enlargement, the site will be subject to all 
     Federal statutes and regulations applicable at the time of 
     proposed construction.
       (10) The Forest Service shall grant a 20-year easement to 
     the city of Greeley for use of the existing cabin in the 
     north half of the southwest quarter of Section 30, Township 8

     States.--The Rockwell Ranch, Timberline Lake, and Cameron 
     Pass Lands acquired by the United States under this section 
     shall be added to and administered as part of the Roosevelt 
     National Forest. Those portions of such property located 
     within a wilderness area shall be added to and administered 
     as part of the wilderness area.
       (d) Boundary Modification of the Arapaho National Forest 
     and Roosevelt National Forest.--
       (1) In general.--In order to provide for more efficient 
     administration of certain Federal lands adjoining the Arapaho 
     National Forest and Roosevelt National Forest, the exterior 
     boundary of the Arapaho Forest is hereby modified as shown on 
     Department of Agriculture, Forest Service map entitled

     the laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the National 
     Forest System.

     SEC. 312. GATES OF THE ARCTIC NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE LAND 
                   EXCHANGE AND BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT.

       (a) Acquisition and Exchange Authority: Killik River 
     Ecosystem.--(1) The Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter in 
     this section referred to as the ``Secretary'') is authorized 
     to acquire by exchange certain lands which have been or may 
     hereafter be conveyed to the Arctic Slope Regional 
     Corporation pursuant to the provisions of the Alaska Native 
     Claims Settlement Act and the State of Alaska pursuant to the 
     Alaska Statehood Act. These lands consist of--
       (A) approximately 1,270,000 acres of Arctic Slope Regional 
     Corporation lands and are depicted on a map entitled ``Arctic 
     Slope Regional Corporation Killik River Ecosystem Lands'', 
     dated July 1996, appended to which is a legal description of 
     such lands; and
       (B) up to 1,270,000 acres selected by the State of Alaska 
     pursuant to the Alaska Statehood Act, consisting of--
       (i) approximately 750,000 acres of State of Alaska lands in 
     the Killik River Ecosystem which are depicted on a map 
     entitled ``Study of Potential Addition of State of Alaska and 
     Other Lands, by Exchange, to the Gates of the Arctic Park''; 
     and
       (ii) the remainder being other State of Alaska lands which 
     are acceptable to the Secretary.

     The Killik River Ecosystem map and the Study of Potential 
     Addition map are on file at the Alaska Regional Office of the 
     National Park Service and the offices of the Gates of the 
     Arctic National Park and Preserve in Fairbanks, Alaska.
       (2) The private lands described in subparagraphs (A) and 
     (B)(i) of paragraph (1) may be acquired for addition to the 
     Gates of the Arctic National Preserve with the consent of the 
     owners, the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, or the State 
     of Alaska, respectively. Upon acquisition by the Secretary, 
     such lands shall become, and be administered as, a part of 
     Gates of the Arctic National Preserve to the same extent as 
     if the lands were included within the boundaries of the 
     Preserve by the provisions of section 201(4) of the Alaska 
     National Interest Lands Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 3101 et 
     seq.).
       (b) Acquisition and Exchange Authority: Ogotoruk Creek 
     Lands Contaminated by Undisclosed Nuclear Testing.--(1) The 
     Secretary of the Interior is authorized to acquire by 
     exchange certain additional lands which have been or may 
     hereafter be conveyed to the Arctic Slope Regional 
     Corporation pursuant to the provisions of the Alaska Native 
     Claims Settlement Act. These lands consist of approximately

[[Page H10997]]

     204,860 acres and are depicted on a map entitled ``Arctic 
     Slope Regional Corporation Ogotoruk Creek Lands Contaminated 
     by Undisclosed Nuclear Testing'', dated July 1996, appended 
     to which is a legal description of such lands. The Ogotoruk 
     Creek Lands map is on file at the Alaska State Office of the 
     Bureau of Land Management.
       (2) The lands described in paragraph (1) were selected by 
     the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation under the Alaska Native 
     Claims Settlement Act for use as a transportation corridor, 
     without any disclosure by the Department of the Interior that 
     the southern portion of these lands had been the subject of 
     nuclear tests conducted by the United States prior to 
     selection by the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation. The 
     Arctic Slope Regional Corporation selected these lands with 
     no knowledge of the nuclear tests that had been conducted on 
     these lands, and the Inupiat Eskimo shareholders of the 
     Arctic Slope Regional Corporation believe that the radiation 
     tests have caused physical injury to some of the 
     shareholders, and therefore desire to exchange these lands. 
     The private lands described in paragraph (1) may be acquired 
     by the Secretary with the consent of the Arctic Slope 
     Regional Corporation. Upon acquisition by the Secretary, such 
     lands shall become public lands except that, to the extent 
     such lands are located within the exterior boundaries of the 
     Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge--Chukchi Sea Unit, 
     such lands shall become, and be administered by the Secretary 
     as, a part of such unit of the National Wildlife Refuge 
     System.
       (c) Other Lands.--To facilitate the exchanges authorized by 
     this section, the Secretary is authorized to make available 
     to the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation and to the State of 
     Alaska lands, or interests therein, from public lands within 
     the 23,000,000 acre National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The 
     Arctic Slope Regional Corporation was precluded from making 
     land selections, under the terms of the Alaska Native Claims 
     Settlement Act, from the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. 
     The State of Alaska was precluded from making land 
     selections, under the terms of the Alaska Statehood Act, from 
     the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. Since 1980, the 
     Federal policy with respect to the National Petroleum 
     Reserve-Alaska has been changed, and this area has been 
     opened to oil and gas leasing.
       (d) Withdrawal.--(1) To facilitate the land exchanges 
     authorized by this section, the Secretary is authorized to 
     withdraw, subject to valid existing rights, from all forms of 
     appropriation under the public land laws, including the 
     mining and mineral leasing laws, lands identified for 
     acquisition through an exchange under this section by written 
     notices submitted no later than 120 days after enactment of 
     this Act, to the Secretary by the Arctic Slope Regional 
     Corporation and the State of Alaska.
       (2) The Arctic Slope Regional Corporation is authorized to 
     identify by notice for withdrawal pursuant to paragraph (1) 
     not more than twice the number of acres of private land 
     identified for exchange in subsections (a) and (b).
       (3) The State of Alaska is authorized to identify by notice 
     for withdrawal pursuant to paragraph (1) not more than twice 
     the number of acres of State of Alaska land identified for

     SEC. 603. RICHMOND NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD PARK.

       (a) Findings and Purpose.--Section 1 of the Act of March 2, 
     1936 (chapter 113, 49 Stat. 1155; 16 U.S.C. 423j), is amended 
     to read as follows:

     ``SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       ``(a) Findings.--In 1996 the Congress finds that:
       ``(1) In 1936 the Congress established the Richmond 
     National Battlefield Park in and around the city of Richmond, 
     Virginia. The park's boundary was established to permit the 
     inclusion of all military battlefield areas related to the 
     battles fought during the Civil War in defense of and against 
     the city of Richmond. The park originally included the area 
     then known as the Richmond Battlefield State Park.
       ``(2) The total acreage of the area identified in 1936 for 
     consideration for inclusion in the Richmond National 
     Battlefield Park encompasses approximately 225,000 acres in 
     and around the city of Richmond, Virginia. A study undertaken 
     by the congressionally authorized Civil War Sites Advisory 
     Committee determined that within those 225,000 acres, the 
     historically significant areas in and around Richmond 
     relating to the campaigns against and in defense of Richmond 
     encompass approximately 38,000 acres. The National Park 
     Service, through its general management planning process for 
     Richmond National Battlefield Park, has identified 
     approximately 7,121 acres which satisfy the National Park 
     Service criteria of significance, integrity, feasibility, and 
     suitability for inclusion in Richmond National Battlefield 
     Park.
       ``(3) There is national interest in protecting and 
     preserving sites of historic significance associated with the 
     Civil War and Richmond.
       ``(4) The Commonwealth of Virginia and its local units of 
     government have authority to prevent or minimize adverse uses 
     of these historic resources and can play a significant role 
     in the protection of the historic resources related to the 
     battles of Richmond.
       ``(b) Purposes.--Therefore, it is the purpose of this Act--
       ``(1) to establish a revised boundary for the Richmond 
     National Battlefield Park based on the findings of the Civil 
     War Sites Advisory Committee and the National Park Service; 
     and
       ``(2) to direct the Secretary of the Interior to work in 
     cooperation with the Commonwealth of Virginia, the city of 
     Richmond, and other political subdivisions of the 
     Commonwealth, other public entities, and the private sector 
     in the management, protection, and interpretation of the 
     resources associated with the Civil War and the Battles of 
     Richmond in and around the city of Richmond, Virginia.''.
       (b) Modification of Boundary.--Section 2 of the Act of 
     March 2, 1936 (chapter 113, 49 Stat. 1155; 16 U.S.C. 423k), 
     is amended to read as follows:

     ``SEC. 2. BOUNDARY.

       ``The boundary of the Richmond National Battlefield Park 
     (hereinafter in this Act referred to as the `park') is hereby 
     modified to comprise the lands, waters, and interests in 
     lands therein that, on the day before the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, were in Federal ownership and were 
     administered by the Secretary of the Interior as part of the 
     park.''.
       (c) Land Acquisition.--The Act of March 2, 1936 (chapter 
     113, 49 Stat. 1155; 16 U.S.C. 423j

[[Page H11009]]

     and following), is amended by adding the following new 
     section after section 3:

     ``SEC. 4. LAND ACQUISITION.

       ``(a) The Secretary is authorized to acquire any lands and 
     interests in lands identified in the general management plan 
     for the park approved June 7, 1996, and depicted within the 
     area delineated as `Park Boundary' on the map entitled 
     `Richmond National Battlefield Park Boundary Map', as 
     numbered 367-NEFA 80026 and dated August 1996, which shall be 
     on file and available for inspection in the Office of the 
     Director of the National Park Service, Department of the 
     Interior.
       ``(b) The Secretary is authorized to acquire the lands 
     identified in subsection (a) by donation, purchase with 
     donated or appropriated funds, exchange, or otherwise. 
     Privately owned lands or the interest therein may be acquired 
     only with the consent of the property owner. In acquiring 
     lands and interest in lands under this Act, the Secretary 
     shall acquire the minimum Federal interests necessary to 
     achieve the objectives of the park.
       ``(c) Upon acquisition by the Secretary of any lands and 
     interests in lands identified in subsection (a), the 
     Secretary shall revise the boundary of the park to include 
     those lands within the boundary of the park and shall manage 
     them as part of the park and consistent with the purposes of 
     the Act.''.
       (d) Park Management and Administration.--The Act of March 
     2, 1936 (chapter 113; 49 Stat. 1155; 16 U.S.C. 423j and 
     following), is amended by adding the following new section 
     after section 4:

     ``SEC. 5. PARK MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION.

       ``(a) In administering the park, the Secretary shall 
     interpret, for the benefit of visitors to the park and the 
     general public, the Battles of Richmond in the larger context 
     of the Civil War and American history, including the causes 
     and consequences of the Civil War and the effects of the war 
     on all the American people.
       ``(b) The Secretary is directed to work with the 
     Commonwealth of Virginia, its political subdivisions, 
     including the city of Richmond, private property owners, and 
     the private sector to develop mechanisms to protect and 
     interpret the resources identified within the boundary as 
     depicted on the map identified in section 2 of this Act. In 
     order to carry out this section, the Secretary is authorized 
     to enter into cooperative agreements with the public and 
     private sectors to carry out the purposes of this Act, and to 
     find means of protecting and interpreting the historic 
     resources for the benefit of present and future generations 
     in a manner that would allow for continued private ownership 
     and use where compatible with the purposes of the park. The 
     Secretary is also authorized to provide technical assistance 
     to governmental entities, nonprofit organizations, and 
     private property owners in the development of comprehensive 
     plans, land use guidelines, and other activities which are 
     consistent with conserving the historic, cultural, natural, 
     and scenic resources found within the park boundary.
       ``(c) The Secretary is authorized to provide technical 
     assistance to the Commonwealth of Virginia, its political 
     subdivisions, nonprofit entities, and private property owners 
     engaged in the protection, interpretation, or commemoration 
     of historically significant Civil War resources located 
     outside of the park boundary. Such technical assistance does 
     not authorize the Secretary to own or manage any of the 
     resources outside the park boundary.''.
       (e) Technical Amendment.--Section 3 of the Act of March 2, 
     1936 (chapter 113, 49 Stat. 1156; 16 U.S.C. 423l) is amended 
     by striking the period and inserting ``, and the Act of 
     August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 666; 16 U.S.C. 461-467).''.

       (B) determine the relative significance of the sites;
       (C) assess short- and long-term threats to the integrity of

                            TITLE VII--FEES

     SEC. 701. 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 3 
     years after the date of enactment of this Act and every 5 
     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; and
       (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

[[Page H11012]]

     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 1 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.).
       (j) 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.

     necessary for such a single visit. The entrance fee for 
     private parties and commercial tours shall be set in 
     accordance with this section by the administering Secretaries 
     and may be adjusted, taking into account the factors 
     specified in subsection (c)(2). The Secretaries shall ensure 
     that where appropriate the admission fee schedule developed

     experiencing high levels of automobile traffic. The 
     administering Secretaries are authorized to implement 
     admission fee practices which vary by day of the week,

     to such conditions as the Secretaries may jointly prescribe. 
     The Secretaries shall develop detailed guidelines for 
     promotional advertising of non-Federal passport sales and 
     monitor compliance with those guidelines. The Secretaries may 
     authorize the seller or sellers to maintain an inventory of

     individual.

     into a specific designated area or into several specific 
     areas located in a particular geographic region at which 
     admission fees are charged pursuant to this section, the 
     administering Secretary or Secretaries are authorized to make 
     available an annual admission permit. The permit shall convey 
     the privileges of, and shall be subject to the same terms and 
     conditions as, the Golden Eagle Passport, except that it 
     shall be valid only for admission into the specific area or 
     areas indicated at the time of purchase. The fee for an

     permit and is permanently disabled. Such procedures shall 
     ensure that a lifetime admission permit shall be issued only 
     to persons who have been medically determined to be 
     permanently disabled. A lifetime admission permit shall be

     may not be charged by any such agency for the use, either 
     singly or in any combination, of drinking water, wayside 
     exhibits, overlook sites, toilet facilities, picnic tables, 
     or visitor centers for areas where admission fees are 
     charged.

     tours of these areas. Fees for such aircraft use shall be in 
     accordance with subparagraph (B), except as provided in 
     subparagraph (E).

     Visitor Services Improvement and Outdoor Legacy Act of 1996, 
     the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of 
     Transportation shall jointly submit a report to the 
     appropriate committees of Congress outlining revisions to the 
     commercial tour fee schedule for aircraft which encourages 
     the use of quiet aircraft technology.
       ``(7) Transportation provided by the secretary.--Where the 
     administering Secretary provides transportation to visit all 
     or a portion of any area, he may impose a charge for such 
     service in lieu of an admission fee. Collection of such fees 
     may occur at the transportation staging area or any 
     reasonably convenient location, whether inside or outside of 
     the area boundary. The administering Secretary may enter into 
     arrangements with qualified public or private entities 
     pursuant to which such entities may collect such fees. Such 
     funds collected shall be retained at the area where the 
     service was provided and expended for costs associated with 
     the transportation system. The charge imposed under this 
     paragraph shall not exceed the limits established in

     Fees.--
       ``(1) Establishment.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall 
     establish a special account in the Treasury for each agency 
     which collects recreation fees under this section. Within 
     each such account, the administering Secretary shall 
     separately account for receipts and disbursements of funds 
     for each area.
       ``(2) Deposits.--(A) The administering Secretary shall 
     deposit in each agency account all receipts from fees 
     collected pursuant to this section by any Federal agency (or 
     by any public or private entity under contract with a Federal 
     agency).

     shall be divided among the agencies based on a formula which 
     the administering Secretaries shall devise and which 
     considers total recreation admission fees collected by the 
     agency and total recreation use at designated admission fee 
     areas provided by the agency. Funds from the sale of the 
     Golden Eagle Passport shall be deposited as recreation fees 
     collected into the appropriate agency account.
       ``(C) All funds from the sale of geographic admission 
     permits under subsection (d)(3) shall be divided among the

     provision of law, the administering Secretary may, in any 
     fiscal year, withdraw from the special account established 
     under paragraph (1) an amount up to 15 percent of all 
     receipts collected under this section in the preceding fiscal 
     year. The amounts so withdrawn shall be retained by the 
     administering Secretaries, and shall be available, without 
     further appropriation, for expenditure by the Secretary 
     concerned to cover fee collection costs, and shall remain 
     available until expended. For the purposes of this paragraph, 
     for any fiscal year, the term `fee collection costs' means 
     those costs for personnel and infrastructure directly 
     associated with the collection of fees imposed under this 
     section.

     special account for each agency during each fiscal year shall

     deposited in special accounts (as established in paragraph 
     (1)) in the Treasury for the National Park Service, beginning

       ``(B) Of the funds deposited in special accounts (as 
     established in paragraph (1)) in the Treasury for the Forest 
     Service and the Bureau of Land Management, beginning in 
     fiscal year 1998 and extending through fiscal year 2006, 100

     further appropriation for each agency shall be the amount in 
     excess of the amounts specified for deposit in the Treasury 
     in fiscal year 2006 under subparagraph (A) or (B), as the 
     case may be.
       ``(6) Use of recreation fees.--Of the amounts made 
     available without appropriation under paragraph (5), after 
     the application of paragraph (3), 75 percent shall be 
     allocated among the areas of each agency in the same 
     proportion as fees collected from that specific area bear to

     agency for the fiscal year. The remainder of the fees 
     collected pursuant to this section shall be allocated among 
     each agency's areas on the basis of need as determined by the

     such rules or regulations issued under this section may, 
     within areas under the administration or authority of such 
     administering Secretary and with or, if the offense is 
     committed in his presence, without a warrant, arrest any 
     person who violates such rules and regulations. Any person so 
     arrested may be tried and sentenced by the United States 
     magistrate specifically designated for that purpose by the 
     court by which he was appointed, in the same manner and 
     subject to the same conditions as provided in subsections 
     (b), (c), (d), and (e) of section 3401 of title 18, United

       ``(g) Non-Federal Reservations.--The administering 
     Secretary, under such terms and conditions as he deems 
     appropriate, may contract with any public or private entity 
     to provide visitor reservation services. Any such contract 
     may provide that the contractor shall be permitted to deduct 
     a commission to be fixed by the agency head from the amount 
     charged the public for providing such services and to remit 
     the net proceeds therefrom to the contracting agency.
       ``(h) Use of Volunteers For Fee Collection.--When 
     authorized by the administering Secretary, volunteers at 
     designated areas may collect fees authorized or established 
     pursuant to this section. The administering Secretary shall 
     ensure that such volunteers have adequate training for this 
     purpose. The administering Secretary may require a surety 
     bond for any such volunteer performing services under this 
     subsection. Funds available to the collecting agency may be 
     used to cover the cost of any such surety bond.
       ``(i) Mitigation of Any Impacts of Recreational Fees on 
     Low-Income Individuals.--In carrying out this section, the 
     administering Secretaries shall implement such programs as 
     are necessary to ensure any impacts of recreational fees on 
     low-income persons are minimized. The administering 
     Secretaries shall determine any effects on low-income 
     individuals of recreation use and admission fees and shall 
     jointly submit recommendations to the Congress regarding 
     actions to be taken to resolve such impacts.
       ``(j) Limitations on Fees.--

     SEC. 704. GLACIER BAY NATIONAL PARK.

       Section 3(g) of Public Law 91-383 (16 U.S.C. 1a-2(g)) is 
     amended by: striking ``and park programs'' and inserting the 
     following at the end: ``Sixty percent of the fees paid by 
     permittees for the privilege of entering into within Glacier 
     Bay for the period beginning on the first full fiscal year 
     following the date of enactment of this sentence shall be 
     deposited into a special account and that such funds shall be 
     available--
       ``(1) to the extent determined necessary, to acquire and 
     preposition necessary and adequate emergency response 
     equipment to prevent harm or the threat of harm to aquatic 
     park resources from permittees; and
       ``(2) to conduct investigations to quantify any effect of 
     permittees' activity on wildlife and other natural resource 
     values of Glacier Bay National Park. The investigations 
     provided for in this subsection shall be designed to provide 
     information of value to the Secretary, in determining any 
     appropriate limitations on permittees' activity in Glacier 
     Bay. The Secretary shall protect park resources through 
     limitations on permittees in Glacier Bay only if the need for 
     such limitations is based on substantial verifiable 
     scientific information, including, but not limited to, 
     information made available through the investigations under 
     this subsection. The Secretary may not impose any additional 
     permittee operating conditions in the areas of air, water, 
     and oil pollution beyond those determined and enforced by 
     other appropriate agencies. When competitively awarding 
     permits to enter Glacier Bay, the Secretary may take into 
     account the relative impact particular permittees will have 
     on park values and resources, provided that no operating 
     conditions or limitations relating to noise abatement shall 
     be imposed unless the Secretary determines, based on the 
     weight of the evidence from all available studies including 
     verifiable scientific information from the investigations 
     provided for in this subsection, that such limitations or 
     conditions are necessary to protect park values and 
     resources. Fees paid by certain permittees for the privilege 
     of entering into Glacier Bay shall not exceed $5 per 
     passenger. For the purposes of this subsection, `certain 
     permittee' shall mean a permittee which provides overnight 
     accommodations for at least 500 passengers for an itinerary 
     of at least 3 nights, and `permittee' shall mean a 
     concessionaire providing visitor services within Glacier Bay. 
     Nothing in this subsection authorizes the Secretary to 
     require additional categories of permits in Glacier Bay 
     National Park.''.

     quality housing units for field employees of the National 
     Park Service within a reasonable time frame;
       (B) to expand the alternatives available for construction 
     and repair of essential government housing;
       (C) to rely on the private sector to finance or supply 
     housing in carrying out this section, to the maximum extent 
     possible, in order to reduce the need for Federal 
     appropriations;
       (D) to ensure that adequate funds are available to provide 
     for long-term maintenance needs of field employee housing; 
     and
       (E) to eliminate unnecessary government housing and locate 
     such housing as is required in a manner such that primary 
     resource values are not impaired.
       (2) General authority.--To enhance the ability of the 
     Secretary of the Interior (hereafter in this subsection 
     referred to as ``the Secretary''), acting through the 
     Director of the National Park Service, to effectively manage 
     units of the National Park System, the Secretary is 
     authorized where necessary and justified to make available 
     employee housing, on or off the lands under the 
     administrative jurisdiction of the National Park Service, and 
     to rent or lease such housing to field employees of the 
     National Park Service at rates based on the reasonable value 
     of the housing in accordance with requirements applicable 
     under section 5911 of title 5, United States Code.
       (3) Review and revision of housing criteria.--Upon the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall review and revise 
     the existing criteria under which housing is provided to 
     employees of the National Park Service. Specifically, the 
     Secretary shall examine the existing criteria with respect to 
     what circumstances the National Park Service requires an 
     employee to occupy Government quarters to provide necessary 
     services, protect Government property, or because of a lack 
     of availability of non-Federal housing in the geographic 
     area.
       (4) Submission of report.--A report detailing the results 
     of the revisions required by paragraph (3) shall be submitted

     with regard to the provision of housing to employees of the 
     National Park Service.
       (5) Review of condition of and costs relating to housing.--

     provided to employees of the National Park Service. The 
     review shall include an assessment of the physical condition 
     of such housing and the suitability of such housing to 
     effectively carry out the missions of the Department of the 
     Interior and the National Park Service. For each unit of such 
     housing, the Secretary shall determine whether the unit is 
     needed and justified. The review shall include estimates of 
     the cost of bringing each such unit that is needed and 
     justified into usable condition that meets all applicable 
     legal housing requirements or, if the unit is determined to 
     be obsolete but is still warranted to carry out the missions 
     of the Department of the Interior and the National Park 
     Service, the cost of replacing the unit.
       (6) Authorization for housing agreements.--For those units

     Service employees who meet the housing eligibility criteria 
     developed by the Secretary pursuant to this Act.

     providing field employee quarters.

     occupancy of quarters, conditions on maintenance and repairs, 
     and agreements on the provision of charges for utilities and 
     other infrastructure; and

     and availability of field employee quarters available.
       (D) Contributions by united states.--The Secretary may make 
     payments, subject to appropriations, or contributions in kind

     States Code.

     In no event shall outstanding guarantees be in excess of 
     $3,000,000.
       (C) Rental to government employees.--A guarantee may be 
     made under this subsection only if the lessee agrees to 
     permit the Secretary to utilize for housing purposes any 
     units for which the guarantee is made.
       (D) Failure to maintain a satisfactory level of operation 
     and maintenance.--The lease shall be null and void if the 
     lessee fails to maintain a satisfactory level of operation 
     and maintenance.
       (9) Joint development authority.--The Secretary may use

     maintenance of field employee quarters.
       (B) Terms and conditions.--Any such contract shall contain 
     such terms and conditions as the Secretary deems necessary or 
     appropriate to protect the interests of the United States and 
     assure that necessary quarters are available to field 
     employees.
       (11) Leasing of seasonal employee quarters.--
       (A) General authority.--Subject to subparagraph (B), the

     section 5911 of title 5, United States Code.
       (B) Limitation.--The Secretary may only issue a lease under 
     subparagraph (A) if the Secretary finds that there is a 
     shortage of adequate and affordable seasonal quarters at or 
     near such unit and that--
       (i) the requirement for such seasonal field employee

       (c) Establishment of the Curecanti National Recreation 
     Area, and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad National 
     Historic Site.--
       (1) In order to conserve the scenic, natural, historic, 
     archaeological, wildlife, and fishery resources, and to 
     provide for the public use and enjoyment of the land 
     withdrawn or acquired for, and the water areas created by the 
     Wayne N. Aspinall Unit of the Colorado River Storage Project, 
     there is hereby established the Curecanti National Recreation 
     Area (hereinafter referred to as the ``recreation area'') in 
     the State of Colorado. The recreation area shall consist of 
     the lands and waters within the area designated ``Curecanti 
     National Recreation Area'' as depicted on the map.

     subsection and under provisions of law generally applicable 
     to units of the National Park System including but not 
     limited to the Act of August 25, 1916 (39 Stat. 535; 16 
     U.S.C. 1 et seq.), and the Act of August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 
     666; 16 U.S.C. 461 et seq.), and other applicable provisions 
     of law, except as otherwise provided in this subsection.
       (3) The establishment of the recreation area and land 
     transfer of administration under subsection (a) and (b) shall 
     not affect or interfere with the validity of existing rights, 
     including withdrawals, acquisitions and conveyances, made 
     before the date of enactment of this section for reclamation 
     or power purposes. Subject to their respective authorities 
     under the Colorado River Storage Project Act of 1956 (42 
     U.S.C. 620 et seq.) and the Uncompahgre Project, operation, 
     maintenance, and management of all facilities and 
     improvements on and the management of lands occupied by dams, 
     structures, administrative areas, or other facilities shall 
     be the responsibility of the Secretary and the Secretary of 
     Energy, acting through the Commissioner of the Bureau of 
     Reclamation and the Western Area Power Administration. Such 
     lands shall be delineated through a joint agreement among the 
     Bureau of Reclamation, the National Park Service, and the 
     Western Area Power Administration. The Secretary may enter 
     into additional agreements which address sharing of 
     jurisdiction and authorities on the delineated lands. All 
     lands within the recreation area which have been withdrawn or 
     acquired by the United States for reclamation purposes shall 
     remain subject to the purposes and uses established under the 
     Colorado River Storage Project Act of 1956 (42 U.S.C. 620 et

     interests within the national recreation area administered by 
     the Bureau of Land Management are withdrawn from disposition 
     under the public land laws from location, entry, and patent 
     under the mining laws of the United States, from the 
     operation of mineral leasing laws of the United States, and 
     from operation of the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, and the 
     administrative jurisdiction of such lands is transferred to 
     the National Park Service upon enactment of this section.
       (5) Within the recreation area there is hereby established, 
     subject to the provisions of this subsection, the Denver and 
     Rio Grande National Historic Site (hereinafter referred to as 
     the ``historic site'') consisting of the Denver and Rio 
     Grande rolling stock and train trestle at Cimarron, as 
     depicted on the map. The Secretary may include those portions 
     of the historic railroad bed within the boundaries of the 
     historic site which would serve to enhance or contribute to 
     the interpretation of the development of the railroad and its 
     role in the development of western Colorado.
       (6) The Secretary is authorized to convey to the city of 
     Gunnison, Colorado, or to such public agency as the Secretary 
     deems appropriate, for an amount not to exceed fair market 
     appraised value, the land known as the Riverway Tract in 
     section 8, township 49 north, range 1 west, New Mexico 
     principal meridian.
       (7) The Secretary is authorized, upon a finding that it is 
     not needed for public purposes, to convey without 
     consideration by quit claim deed all right, title, and 
     interest in the United States in and to parcels of ten acres 
     or less which are encroached upon, as of the date of this 
     section, by improvements occupied or used to such person or 
     persons under claim or color of title by persons to whom no 
     advance notice was given that such improvements encroached or 
     would encroach upon such parcels, and who in good faith 
     relied upon an erroneous survey, title search or other land 
     description indicating there was not such encroachment. Such 
     lands so conveyed shall be deleted from the national 
     recreation area.
       (8) The Secretary shall complete an official boundary 
     survey of the areas depicted on the map within three years of

     the Curecanti National Recreation Area as designated by this 
     title and as generally depicted on a map entitled ``Hall 
     Property, Colorado'', dated September, 1996, such lands upon 
     their acquisition by the United States from willing sellers

     of the Forest Service shall manage, subject to valid existing 
     rights, those portions of the forest that have been included 
     in the complex in accordance with the laws, rules, and 
     regulations pertaining to the National Forest System and this

       (4) The Secretaries shall manage the areas under their 
     jurisdiction within the complex in a consistent manner, and 
     are authorized to share personnel, equipment, and other 
     resources to reduce or eliminate duplication of effort.
       (5) Within four years following the date of enactment of 
     this section, the Secretary shall develop and transmit to the 
     Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United 
     States Senate and to the Committee on Resources of the United 
     States House of Representatives a comprehensive plan for the 
     long-range protection and management of the complex. The plan 
     shall describe the appropriate uses and management of the 
     complex consistent with the provisions of this section. The 
     plan may incorporate appropriate decisions contained in any 
     current management or activity plan for the complex. The plan 
     may also incorporate appropriate wildlife habitat management 
     or other plans that have been prepared for the lands within 
     or adjacent to the complex, and shall be prepared in close 
     consultation with appropriate Federal agencies and agencies 
     of the State of Colorado and shall use information developed

     constitute an express or implied reservation of water for any 
     purpose. Nothing in this section, nor any actions taken 
     pursuant thereto shall affect any existing water rights, 
     including, but not limited to, any water rights held by the 
     United States prior to the date of enactment of this section. 
     Any water rights that the Secretary determines are necessary 
     for the purposes of this section shall be acquired under the 
     procedural and substantive

     SEC. 1023. RECREATION LAKES.

       (a) Findings and Purposes.--The Congress finds that the 
     Federal Government, under the authority of the Reclamation 
     Act and other statutes, has developed manmade lakes and 
     reservoirs that have become a powerful magnet for diverse 
     recreational activities and that such activities contribute 
     to the well-being of families

[[Page H11024]]

     and individuals and the economic viability of local 
     communities. The Congress further finds that in order to 
     further the purposes of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, 
     the President should appoint an advisory commission to review 
     the current and anticipated demand for recreational 
     opportunities at federally-managed manmade lakes and 
     reservoirs through creative partnerships involving Federal, 
     State and local governments and the private sector and to 
     develop alternatives for enhanced recreational use of such 
     facilities.
       (b) Commission.--The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act 
     of 1965 (P.L. 88-578, 78 Stat. 897) is amended by adding at 
     the end the following new section:
       ``Sec. 13. (a) The President shall appoint an advisory 
     commission to review the opportunities for enhanced

     Representatives within one year from the date of enactment of 
     this section.

       ``(c) The President shall appoint one member to serve as 
     Chairman. Any vacancy on the Commission shall be filled in 
     the same manner as the original appointment. Members of the

     such times and places, take such testimony, and receive such 
     evidence as it deems advisable: Provided, That, to the 
     maximum extent possible, the Commission shall use existing 
     data and research. The Commission is authorized to use the 
     United States mail in the same manner and upon the same 
     conditions as other departments and agencies of the United 
     States.

     recreation at Federal manmade lakes and reservoirs and shall 
     develop alternatives to enhance the opportunities for such 
     use by the public. In developing the report, the Commission

       (a) In General.--The Secretaries of the Interior and 
     Agriculture (Secretaries) are hereby authorized and directed 
     to consult, coordinate and cooperate with the Umpqua Land 
     Exchange Project (ULEP), affected units and agencies of State 
     and local government, and, as appropriate, the World Forestry 
     Center and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, to assist 
     ULEP's ongoing efforts in studying and analyzing land 
     exchange opportunities in the Umpqua River basin and to 
     provide scientific, technical, research, mapping and other 
     assistance and information to such entities. Such 
     consultation, coordination and cooperation shall at a minimum 
     include, but not be limited to--
       (1) working with ULEP to develop or assemble comprehensive 
     scientific and other information (including comprehensive and 
     integrated mapping) concerning the Umpqua River basin's 
     resources of forest, plants, wildlife, fisheries (anadromous 
     and other), recreational opportunities, wetlands, riparian 
     habitat and other physical or natural resources;
       (2) working with ULEP to identify general or specific areas 
     within the basin where land exchanges could promote 
     consolidation of forestland ownership for long-term, 
     sustained timber production; protection and restoration of 
     habitat for plants, fish and wildlife (including any 
     federally listed threatened or endangered species); 
     protection of drinking water supplies; recovery of threatened 
     and endangered species; protection and restoration of 
     wetlands, riparian lands and other environmentally sensitive 
     areas; consolidation of land ownership for improved public 
     access and a broad array of recreational uses; and 
     consolidation of land ownership to achieve management 
     efficiency and reduced costs of administration; and
       (3) developing a joint report for submission to the 
     Congress which discusses land exchange opportunities in the 
     basin and outlines either a specific land exchange proposal 
     or proposals which may merit consideration by the Secretaries 
     or the Congress, or ideas and recommendations for new 
     authorizations, direction, or changes in existing law or 
     policy to expedite and facilitate the consummation of 
     beneficial land exchanges in the basin via administrative 
     means.
       (b) Matters for Specific Study.--In analyzing land exchange 
     opportunities with ULEP, the Secretaries shall give priority 
     to assisting ULEP's ongoing efforts in:
       (1) studying, identifying, and mapping areas where the 
     consolidation of land ownership via

[[Page H11031]]

     land exchanges could promote the goals of long term species 
     and watershed protection and utilization, including but not 
     limited to the goals of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
     more effectively than current land ownership patterns and 
     whether any changes in law or policy applicable to such lands 
     after consummation of an exchange would be advisable or 
     necessary to achieve such goals;
       (2) studying, identifying and mapping areas where land 
     exchanges might be utilized to better satisfy the goals of 
     sustainable timber harvest, including studying whether 
     changes in existing law or policy applicable to such lands 
     after consummation of an exchange would be advisable or 
     necessary to achieve such goals;
       (3) identifying issues and studying options and 
     alternatives, including possible changes in existing law or 
     policy, to insure that combined post-exchange revenues to 
     units of local government from state and local property, 
     severance and other taxes or levies and shared Federal land 
     receipts will approximate pre-exchange revenues;
       (4) identifying issues and studying whether possible 
     changes in law, special appraisal instruction, or changes in 
     certain Federal appraisal procedures might be advisable or 
     necessary to facilitate the appraisal of potential exchange 
     lands which may have special characteristics or restrictions 
     affecting land values;
       (5) identifying issues and studying options and 
     alternatives, including changes in existing laws or policy, 
     for achieving land exchanges without reducing the net supply 
     of timber available to small business;
       (6) identifying, mapping, and recommending potential 
     changes in land use plans, land classifications, or other 
     actions which might be advisable or necessary to expedite, 
     facilitate or consummate land exchanges in certain areas;
       (7) analyzing potential sources for new or enhanced 
     Federal, State, or other funding to promote improved resource 
     protection, species recovery, and management in the basin; 
     and
       (8) identifying and analyzing whether increased efficiency 
     and better land and resource management could occur through 
     either consolidation of Federal forest management under one 
     agency or exchange of lands between the Forest Service and 
     Bureau of Land Management.
       (c) Report to Congress.--No later than February 1, 1998, 
     ULEP and the Secretaries shall submit a joint report to the 
     Committee on Resources of the United States House of

     SEC. 1101. PROGRAM FUNDING.

     fiscal years 1998, 1999, and 2000, there are authorized to be 
     appropriated an additional $143,300,000 for both--
       (1) the initial Federal share of the cost of developing and 
     implementing that portion of an ecosystem protection plan for 
     the Bay-Delta, referred to as ``the Category III program'' 
     emanating out of the document entitled ``Principles for 
     Agreement on Bay-Delta Standards Between the State of 
     California and the Federal Government'', dated December 15, 
     1994, and
       (2) the initial Federal share of the cost of developing and

     funding levels established pursuant to subsection (e), for 
     currently authorized projects and programs under the Central

     balanced, long-term solution to the problems of ecosystem 
     quality, water quality, water supply and reliability, and 
     system vulnerability affecting the San Francisco Bay/
     Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Watershed in California. 
     Participation in such long term solution shall only be

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The Managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 1296), to provide 
     for the administration of certain Presidio properties at 
     minimal cost to the Federal taxpayer, submit the following 
     joint statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of 
     the effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and 
     recommended in the accompanying conference report:
       The Senate amendment struck all of the House bill after the 
     enacting clause and inserted a substitute text.
       The House recedes from its disagreement to the amendment of 
     the Senate with an amendment that is a substitute for the 
     House bill and the Senate amendment.

                   Title I: Presidio of San Francisco

       Title I is very similar to H.R. 1296 passed by the House 
     and described in House Report 104-202. The Managers have made 
     a number of relatively small refinements to the language as 
     passed.
       Perhaps most importantly, the Managers have clarified that 
     all lands within the Presidio will remain within the boundary 
     of Golden Gate National Recreation Area, even after formation 
     of the Presidio Trust. This location within a unit of the 
     National Park System is expected to have a strong influence 
     on the future management of the area.
       The Managers have made adjustments to the language 
     regarding the transition of the Presidio from management by 
     the National Park Service to management by the Presidio 
     Trust. Those adjustments include clarification of how 
     previously appropriated funds would be handled, how current 
     employees of the National Park Service would be dealt with, 
     and the manner in which the National Park Service would 
     continue to oversee certain ongoing activities, particularly 
     construction projects. In addition, the Managers have 
     provided guidance with respect to the transfer of personal 
     property. The Managers are aware that the National Park 
     Service inherited a substantial amount of personal property 
     from the Army when they departed. In fact, there was so much 
     personal property transferred that some of the equipment has 
     already been transferred to other park units in the Bay area. 
     The Managers have therefore specified that personal property 
     received by the National Park Service should be transferred 
     to the Trust for their ongoing management of the property, 
     rather than remain with the National Park Service.
       The Managers have provided for the U.S. Park Police to 
     provide for continued law enforcement presence at the 
     Presidio. Currently, the National Park Service has both park 
     rangers and park police performing such services; and the 
     Managers concur with the position of the Senate that the park 
     police are best suited to carry out this function.
       The Managers have agreed to provide reasonable flexibility 
     to the Trust in terms of compliance with Federal procurement 
     laws. The flexibility provided to the Trust in this 
     legislation is consistent with overall efforts by both the 
     Administration and the Congress to reduce the administrative 
     burden of procurement laws.

[[Page H11035]]

       Finally, the Managers have agreed to extend the timeframe 
     for providing federal funding to the Trust from 12 to 15 
     years. While analysis conducted by the Trust indicates that 
     it is feasible to eliminate the need for Federal funds in 12 
     years, extending such authority for 15 years provides a 
     greater level of assurance of success for the Trust. In 
     recognition of the overall level of funding which will still 
     be required to implement this legislation, as well as in the 
     interest of charting the progress of this relatively unique 
     partnership, the Managers have agreed to a strong commitment 
     on behalf of the General Accounting Office to provide 
     oversight and feedback to the Congress.

       The Managers agreed to modify the language pertaining to 
     the expansion of Colonial National Historical Park as passed 
     by the House in H.R. 1091 by deleting the limitation on land 
     acquisition. The acquisition methods agreed to by Managers 
     are typical of park expansion legislation.

                              Section 218

       The Managers agreed to certain changes in language 
     pertaining to the establishment of Shenandoah National Park 
     as contained in the House-passed version of H.R. 1091. While 
     the boundary of the park is established to consist of lands 
     in Federal ownership as of the date of enactment of the 
     provision, the Secretary is provided additional flexibility 
     in making future minor boundary adjustments at the park. The 
     original House version of H.R. 1091 permitted future minor 
     boundary adjustments only where essential to facilitate 
     trailhead access. The Managers agreed to permit minor 
     boundary adjustments where the Secretary determines it would 
     further the purposes of the park. H.R. 1091 as passed by the 
     House limited the methods for future boundary adjustments to 
     donation only, while the Managers agreed to permit such 
     adjustments by donation, exchange or acquisition from willing 
     sellers. The Managers also agreed to direct the National Park 
     Service to undertake a comprehensive boundary study, which 
     would guide all future boundary modifications after its 
     completion.


                              Section 219

       The purpose of this provision is to validate certain 
     conveyances made by the Southern Pacific Transportation 
     Company within the city of Tulare, California.
       From 1862 through 1871, Congress adopted the Pacific 
     Railroad Acts (The Charter Acts) to establish a system of 
     railroads in the western United States. The Charter Acts gave 
     railroads a right-of-way to strips of land 200 feet wide on 
     each side of the railroad tracks where the tracks were laid 
     along routes established in the Charter Acts.
       The right-of-way for the railroad tracks and a strip 200 
     feet wide on either side within the Downtown Redevelopment 
     Area of the City of Tulare (Railroad Right-of-Way) was 
     granted to the Central Pacific Railroad Company of California 
     and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company under the Charter 
     Acts in 1862.
       Currently, the Railroad Rights-of-Way through Tulare are an 
     active and essential part of the railroad corridor. There is 
     only a remote possibility that the railroad tracks through 
     downtown Tulare will ever be abandoned; however, that 
     possibility means title to eight parcels of land is somewhat 
     clouded and could be impaired or lost. Congressional action 
     is the only relief to clear title to the eight parcels.
       The Managers have agreed to correct the problem by 
     validating and confirming title to the eight parcels in 
     accordance with 43 U.S.C. 912. On seven previous occasions, 
     Congress has validated similar conveyances under the same 
     authority.

                              Section 311

       The City of Greeley, Colorado and the Water Supply and 
     Storage Company operate eight reservoirs in the Roosevelt 
     National Forest in Colorado. This provision would provide the 
     framework for the agreement that has been reached between the 
     United States Forest Service and the City of Greeley and 
     Water Supply and Storage.
       The agreement has been negotiated over the last twelve 
     months and would provide for the Forest Service with 708 
     acres of land to improve the administration of the Roosevelt 
     National Forest. Some of this land is within the boundaries 
     of Federally designated Wilderness Areas.


                              Section 312

       The Conference Committee has adopted language which could 
     lead to a major expansion of the Gates of the Arctic National 
     Park and Preserve and to significant additions to the 
     Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and other conservation 
     system units in Alaska. These expansions would be made if 
     mutually agreeable land exchanges are negotiated by the 
     Secretary of the Interior with the Arctic Slope Regional 
     Corporation (ASRC) and the State of Alaska. In return for 
     conveying to the United States title to lands long sought for 
     addition to the Park and other conservation units, ASRC and 
     the State could receive title to lands located within the 23 
     million acre National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A).

                              Section 506

       The Managers agree that establishment of the memorial to 
     Black Revolutionary War Patriots is an important effort. 
     Further, it is the understanding of the Managers that the 
     fund raising effort for the memorial is now well underway and 
     therefore the Managers have agreed that an additional two 
     year extension of this authority to complete such fundraising 
     efforts is meritorious.

                              Section 509

       The authorization for the Advisory Council on Historic 
     Preservation is scheduled to expire at the end of the current 
     fiscal year. The Managers are aware that under the current 
     Section 106 process for implementation of the National 
     Historic Preservation Act, the Advisory Council plays an 
     important role in assessing and mitigating the impacts of 
     Federal actions on significant historic properties. The 
     Managers are also aware that in the recent past, the Advisory 
     Council has attempted to promulgate regulations which could 
     have led to significant increases in the cost of compliance 
     with the National Historic Preservation Act, and which would 
     have provided little additional benefit in terms of resource 
     protection. While the Advisory Council has subsequently 
     withdrawn those regulations in the face of overwhelming 
     public opposition, the Managers remain concerned about the 
     nature of final regulations to be adopted.
       The Managers agreed to a four-year extension of the 
     authorization of the Advisory Council, but within that time 
     frame have directed that the Council provide recommendations 
     for modifying the overly complex historic preservation 
     compliance process. In particular, the Managers are seeking 
     alternative ways to carry out the Historic Preservation Act 
     which will be less burdensome on both the public and private 
     sectors.
       The Managers have also agreed on a number of technical 
     amendments which are needed to improve the day-to-day 
     operations of the Advisory Council.

     within lands owned by the Ounalaska Corporation on the island 
     of Amaknak, Alaska and to provide for the interpretation, for 
     the educational and inspirational benefit of present and 
     future generations, of the unique and significant 
     circumstances involving the history of the Aleut people, and 
     the role of the Aleut people and the Aleutian Islands in the

                              Section 603

     Richmond National Battlefield Park
       Subsection a: Findings and purposes
       This subsection establishes the findings and purposes. 
     Congress finds that the boundaries of the Richmond National 
     Battlefield Park do not include all of the historically 
     significant areas important to the Civil War campaigns in and 
     around the City of Richmond which served as the capital of 
     the Confederacy.
       The purposes of this section are to establish a revised 
     boundary for the park to consist of the lands currently in 
     Federal ownership and to provide for procedures for the 
     National Park Service to expand the boundaries.
       Subsection b: Modification of boundary
       This subsection designates the boundary of the park to 
     comprise those lands in Federal ownership and administered by 
     the National Park Service before the date of enactment of 
     this legislation.
       Subsection c: Land acquisition
       This subsection authorizes the Secretary to expand the 
     boundaries of the park to include those lands identified in 
     the general management plan for the park approved in June 
     1996 and depicted on the National Park Service map dated 
     August 1993. The Secretary may acquire lands for addition to 
     the park by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated 
     funds or exchange with the consent of the land owner. Upon 
     acquisition of any lands by the Secretary, the park boundary 
     is modified to include those lands without further action by 
     Congress.
       Subsection d: Park management and administration
       This subsection directs the Secretary to interpret for the 
     benefit of the public the significance of the Battles of 
     Richmond on the Civil War and the effects of the Civil War on 
     all American people. To further the interpretation and 
     preservation of the historic resources of the park identified 
     in the general management plan, the Secretary is directed to 
     provide technical assistance and to enter into cooperative 
     agreements with local governments, nonprofit organizations 
     and land owners. The Secretary is also authorized to provide 
     technical assistance to local governments, nonprofit 
     organizations and land owners to protect and preserve 
     historically significant Civil War resources located outside 
     of the boundary of the park.
       Subsection e: Administration
       This subsection clarifies that Richmond National 
     Battlefield Park is to be managed in accord with the Historic 
     Sites Act of 1935.

         District
       Subsection (a.): Short title
       This subsection entitles this section as the Shenandoah 
     Valley National Battlefields National Historic District 
     comprising 10 Civil War battlefields in Virginia's Shenandoah 
     Valley.
       Subsection (b.): Congressional findings
       In 1990, Congress enacted the Civil War Sites Study Act 
     (section 1204 of Public Law 101-628). That law directed the 
     Secretary of the Interior to prepare a study of Civil War 
     sites within the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. The study was 
     completed in September 1992, and transmitted to Congress in 
     summer of 1993.
       The study notes that ``the battlefields identified in this 
     study collectively appear to meet criteria for national 
     significance. The study shows that the Shenandoah Valley 
     represents a unique geographic and historic resource: that it 
     possesses tremendous scenic beauty and exceptional potential 
     for interpreting aspects of the Civil War that are currently 
     not represented in the National Park System; . . . and that 
     many portions of the Valley retain a high degree of historic, 
     rural, and scenic integrity.''
       The study identifies the historical significance of the 
     battles in the Valley associated with Confederate General 
     Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson's campaign of 1862 and the 
     decisive Union campaigns of 1864 led by Union General Philip 
     Sheridan.
       Subsection (c.): Statement of purposes
       Until recently, most of the Shenandoah Valley had remained 
     in the same type of agricultural use since the Civil War. 
     However, increasing development within the Valley has begun 
     to threaten the integrity of many of these battlefield sites. 
     This subsection sets forth the purposes of the Historic 
     District to provide a coordinated strategy for protection 
     involving the National Park Service, the Commonwealth of 
     Virginia, local governments, private organizations and land 
     owners.
       Partnerships between all levels of government, private 
     landowners and non-profit organizations will foster the 
     protection of the natural, cultural, and historic resources 
     within the historic district linking the battlefields.
       Subsection (d.): Definitions
       This subsection defines certain key terms used in this 
     section.

[[Page H11037]]

       Subsection (e.): Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National 
           Historic District
       This subsection establishes the Shenandoah Valley 
     Battlefields National Historic District consisting of lands 
     identified in the Park Service study, the battlefield areas 
     identified on the National Park Service map at Cedar Creek, 
     Cross Keys, Fisher's Hill, McDowell, New Market, Opequon, 
     Port Republic, Second Kernstown, Second Winchester, and Tom's 
     Brook, and the historic transportation routes linking these 
     battlefields.
       Subsection (f.): Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National 
           Historic District Plan
       This subsection provides that the District is to be managed 
     by the Commission and the management entity pursuant to this 
     Act and the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Historic District 
     Plan (the ``plan''), pursuant to this section.
       It also sets forth the specific provisions of the plan, 
     including the development of an inventory of lands that 
     should be acquired, managed or preserved because of its 
     historical significance; provisions for the establishment of 
     a management entity which may be either a unit of government 
     or a private nonprofit organization; identification of 
     partnerships between state, local and regional entities and 
     the private sector; and, provisions for the protection and 
     interpretation of natural, cultural and historic resources in 
     the Historic District.
       The purpose of the management entity is to administer the 
     District consistent with the plan. The management entity 
     would have legal ability to receive and disburse Federal 
     funds, enter into agreements with all levels of governments 
     or organizations to provide for the implementation of the 
     plan, and to acquire lands from willing sellers for the 
     purposes of preserving the historic resources in the 
     District.
       This subsection directs the Commission to prepare a draft 
     plan within 3 years. The Commission is required to ensure 
     that appropriate notice of the draft plan is provided to 
     local communities.
       It also requires that the Secretary review the plan and 
     within 90 days after receiving the plan, either approve it or 
     reject the plan and recommend modifications that would make 
     the plan acceptable.
       Subsection (g.): Duties of the Secretary
       This subsection authorizes the Secretary to award grants, 
     provide technical assistance and enter into cooperative 
     agreements with local governments, property owners and 
     nonprofit organizations to preserve and interpret the 
     historic resources in the District.
       The Secretary may acquire land from a willing seller that 
     has been identified by the Commission as important to the 
     preservation of battlefields within the District.
       The Secretary is directed, upon request of the Commission, 
     to detail two employees of the Department of the Interior to 
     the Commission to assist with the preparation of the plan.
       Following the approval of the plan, the Secretary is to 
     report to Congress on whether the Historic District or 
     specific components should be added as units of the National 
     Park System.
       Subsection (h.): Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National 
           Heritage Corridor Commission
       This subsection establishes the Shenandoah Valley National 
     Battlefields Historic District Commission (the 
     ``Commission'') consisting of 19 members. The Commission is 
     to be composed of local governments, property owners, a 
     member with expertise in historic preservation, a Civil War 
     historian, and the Governor of Virginia and the Director of 
     the National Park Service, in an ex-officio capacity.
       Subsection (I.): Duties of the Commission
       The duties of the Commission are the development of the 
     plan; assisting in the management, protection and 
     interpretation of the natural, cultural and historical 
     resources within the District; and, taking appropriate action 
     to encourage protection of the resources within the District 
     by landowners, local governments, and other organizations.
       Section (j.): Authorization of appropriations
       This subsection authorizes the appropriation of $250,000 
     annually from the amounts available to carry out the National 
     Historic Preservation Act for the establishment and operation 
     of the Commission.
       There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary 
     $2,000,000 annually from the National Historic Preservation 
     Act to make grants, provide technical assistance and enter 
     into cooperative agreements pursuant to Section 7.
       For the purposes of land acquisition within the Historic 
     District, $2,000,000 is authorized to be appropriated from 
     the National Historic Preservation Act pursuant to Section 
     7(d).
       A total of $500,000 annually is authorized to be 
     appropriated from the National Historic Preservation Act for 
     the establishment and operation of the management entity.

                            Title VII: Fees


                              Section 701

       For an explanation of the text see House Report 104-516 
     part I (HR 1527).


                              Section 702

       For an explanation of the text see House Report 104-57 (HR 
     536).


                              Section 703

       The Managers agree that many provisions of the existing 
     recreation fee policy, as provided in Section 4 of the Land 
     and Water Conservation Act are outdated and unworkable. The 
     Managers have therefore agreed that current law should be 
     replaced in its entirety. The policy adopted by the Managers 
     is similar to the recreation fee policy contained in HR 2107 
     as reported by the House Resources Committee. However, the 
     Managers have agreed to include a number of limitations on 
     fee increases, similar to those included in the Balanced 
     Budget Act which was vetoed by the President.
       The inclusion of caps in the legislation is probably one of 
     the biggest changes to the fee policy reported by the House 
     Resources Committee. The Managers have agreed to caps of $10 
     per person or $25 per car for single admission visits, $25 
     for annual geographic permits and $50 for Golden Eagle 
     Passports. The Managers have also provided that Golden Eagle 
     Passports would be available to persons 62 years of age or 
     older for no more than 50 percent of the rate charged for 
     other persons. In addition, the Managers have agreed that all 
     children 12 and under should be charged no admission fee. The 
     Managers have included language which provides that increases 
     in fees will be implemented over a reasonable period of time 
     in order to minimize rapid escalation of fees charged to 
     recreation users. The Managers do not anticipate that 
     agencies will begin to immediately charge fees as provided 
     for in this legislation at the maximum allowable rate.
       The Managers have agreed to limit the scope of this 
     provision to the National Park Service, Bureau of Land 
     Management and Forest Service only, at this time. The 
     Managers recognize that over the long term, it is desirable 
     for the public to have a single recreation fee policy for all 
     Federal lands. However, since other agencies have recreation 
     fee authority conformance is not essential at this time. The 
     Managers expect that other such agencies will undertake no 
     program inconsistent with this provision, unless otherwise 
     specifically provided in law.
       The Managers have also simplified the recreation fee 
     program as contained in HR 2107. Specifically, the Managers 
     have agreed to delete target recreation revenue goals, delete 
     appropriation language and simplify the calculation of how 
     much revenue should be retained by each of the collecting 
     areas.
        The Managers have included in the text the current fee 
     schedule for admission fees for commercial tour operators. 
     The Managers recognize that in some cases agencies may 
     already be charging rates higher than those specifically 
     included in this text, but does not intend in any way to 
     imply that current fees schedules should be modified. Rather, 
     the Managers intend simply that future increases in such 
     commercial tour entry fees be in accord with the provisions 
     of this section.
        The Managers recognize that the four land management 
     agencies were recently authorized under the FY 96 Interior 
     Appropriation Act (Public Law 104-134) to implement 
     recreation fee demonstration programs. Unfortunately, none of 
     the agencies with this authority, except the Forest Service, 
     have elected to implement it. Therefore, in order to develop 
     a consistent policy, this legislation repeals that authority 
     for all agencies except the Forest Service.


                              Section 704

       This section provides for the protection of the natural 
     resources of Glacier Bay National Park by the Secretary of 
     the Interior while preserving the authority of other Federal 
     agencies to enforce environmental laws under their authority 
     in the Park. The Secretary of the Interior issues permits and 
     charges fees to concessionaires in the Glacier Bay national 
     park, including cruise ships. The fees collected by the 
     Secretary be used to protect Park resources within the Park. 
     Therefore, this section provides that 60 percent of the fees 
     charged to certain permittees be used by the Secretary to 
     protect park resources, including prepositioned oil spill 
     prevention equipment.
        In addition, the Committee on Conference is concerned that 
     recent rulemakings by the Secretary of the Interior regarding 
     permit conditions for park concessionaires appear to overstep 
     the authority of the Secretary and usurp the authority of 
     other Federal agencies, such as the Coast Guard and the 
     Environmental Protection Agency, to enforce the Oil Pollution 
     Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the Clean 
     Air Act. Accordingly, this provision limits the authority of 
     the Secretary to condition permits, including permits for 
     vessel operations, in the Park.
        Finally, the Committee is concerned that the permit 
     conditions being considered by the Secretary be based on 
     substantial, verifiable scientific information. Therefore, 
     this section allows permit fees to be used for further 
     scientific investigations to help the Secretary to develop 
     appropriate and justified permit conditions to protect 
     Glacier Bay National Park resources.

       For an explanation of the text see Senate Report 104-198 
     (S. 509).


                              Section 815

       The Managers agreed to a broad array of administrative 
     reforms for the National Park Service as generally provided 
     by H.R. 2941 (see House Report 104-802, Part I). However, the 
     Managers did agree to make changes to the language from H.R. 
     2941 pertaining to both housing and construction of 
     administrative facilities outside of the boundaries of park 
     areas.
       The most significant change to the housing authority is the 
     elimination of the authority to sell government housing to 
     cooperatives consisting of field employees. While Managers 
     agree that this provision has merit, they also agree that 
     there are potential problems and have therefore agreed to a 
     study of such a program prior to its authorization. The 
     Managers have also agreed to direct the Secretary to refine 
     the concept of required occupancy. The Managers have found 
     evidence that this concept is not applied uniformly and 
     believe that employees who are required to occupy government 
     quarters due to isolation deserve similar treatment 
     regardless of occupation.
       The Managers deleted the generic authority for the National 
     Park Service to construct facilities outside of park 
     boundaries on non-federal land and substituted the site-
     specific authority for such construction at Zion National 
     Park. The Managers are aware of several similar proposals 
     currently receiving congressional consideration. However, the 
     Managers generally believe that park facilities should be 
     located in the park, and that other federal leasing 
     authorities are generally adequate to provide needed building 
     space outside the parks. It is the conclusion of the Managers 
     that the need for facilities outside of park boundaries 
     should continue to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.


                              Section 816

       Section 816 is based on legislation passed by the House 
     Resources Committee (H.R. 3534) which authorizes the National 
     Park Service to continue to issue special use permits to 
     cabin owners at Mineral King in Sequoia National Park, after 
     the death of the permittee of record.
       There is no accurate count of persons living within areas 
     designated by Congress as units of the national park system, 
     either on private property or on Federally-owned property. 
     For example, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore reports that at 
     one point, there were over 700 use and occupancy agreements 
     at that park alone.
       Individuals currently reside inside parks under three basic 
     sets of conditions. The first is on private property within 
     the park boundary which has not yet been acquired by the 
     Federal government. The second is when property has been 
     acquired by the Federal government under terms of a use and 
     occupancy agreement. The third is when the Federal government 
     permits persons to reside on Federal lands.
       Since 1972, acquisition of Federal lands has been guided by 
     the Uniform Relocation and Assistance Act. That law generally 
     provides for the government to authorize the lease back of an 
     improved residence which has been acquired, for up to 25 
     years or the life of the occupant, depending on any 
     limitations contained in the specific authorizing statute. 
     For example, if the Federal government is acquiring the area 
     for road construction purposes, the resident would typically 
     not be offered a lifetime estate. The homeowner pays for this 
     extended use of the property through a reduction in the 
     purchase price paid by the government. These persons have a 
     property right which is reflected as a use and occupancy 
     agreement. Such use of the property can be bought and sold.
       In the 1970's, when the Federal government was acquiring 
     extensive lands for park purposes, it has been alleged that 
     some of the acquisition was heavy-handed. It is unclear 
     whether residents were fully advised of their rights, and 
     there were a number of bitter land acquisition disputes 
     across the park system. Congress has addressed this issue at 
     least once before, when an Act was passed which permitted 
     residents of Minute Man National Historic Park to extend 
     their original use and occupancy agreements (PL 102-488).
       The history of the National Park Service permitting persons 
     to use park lands for residential purposes is less clear. 
     Typically these situations arise due to prevailing conditions 
     at the time of park establishment. However, there has been a 
     wide discrepancy among parks with regard to how any generic 
     authority is interpreted. Some park superintendents claim 
     they have no authority to permit such non-park residential 
     use of the land, while others have seen no problem with the 
     issuance of special use permits for residential purposes.
        Mineral King was Forest Service land added to Sequoia-
     Kings Canyon National Park in the 1970's in order to prevent 
     Disney from developing a ski area. When the land was added, 
     there were a number of residents within the addition; both 
     persons who owned their property and persons who occupied 
     cabins under a special use permit from the Forest Service. 
     The legislation establishing the area stated that such 
     ``special use'' permits would only be issued to the owner or 
     lessee of record at the time. Now, nearly 20 years after 
     enactment of the original law, some original owners have died 
     and their heirs are seeking to continue their permits.
       This provision amends the 1978 statute adding the Mineral 
     King area to Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park by 
     specifically authorizing the National Park Service to issue 
     cabin leases to the heirs of the original permittees of 
     record until the death of the last permittee of record.
       The language of the bill requires permittees to pay fair 
     market value for such use, and specifically provides for 
     protection of park resources and termination of the use if 
     lands are needed for other purposes. The legislation provides 
     that the Secretary must have the funds to implement such 
     alternative use, rather than simply prepare a plan calling 
     for such use. The Managers do not believe that these persons 
     should be forced out of their cabins until such alternative 
     use is a reality.


                              Section 817

       Language is self-explanatory.


                              Section 818

       This section directs the Secretary of the Interior to 
     conduct a study of the Lake Calumet area to analyze 
     alternative ways to manage the area.


                              Section 819

       This section provides for a legislative taking of the 
     balance of private property in the Gherini Ranch on Santa 
     Cruz Island in Channel Islands National Park. The National 
     Park Service currently owns a three-fourths undivided 
     interest in the Gherini Ranch, which is a 6,200-acre parcel 
     located on the east end of Santa Cruz Island. This parcel of 
     land is currently being severely impacted by uncontrolled 
     populations of feral sheep. While the Federal government has 
     acquired three undivided one-fourth interest portions of this 
     ranch on a willing seller basis, there is little hope of the 
     Federal government reaching agreement with the remaining 
     property owner regarding the value of the land. Therefore, in 
     order to bring an end to overgrazing, and resultant impacts 
     on park resources, including irreversible destruction of 
     archeological sites, the Managers support this legislative 
     taking.

                        Title IX: Heritage Areas


                              Section 901

       For an explanation of the text see Senate Report 104-42 (S. 
     601).


                              Section 902

       The language is self-explanatory. The Managers agreed to 
     direct the Administration to study the area.

                         Title X: Miscellaneous

                               SUBTITLE A

       The conference agreement includes language to create a 
     tallgrass prairie national preserve in the Flint Hills of 
     Kansas. The preserve will be created through a unique 
     private/public partnership between the federal government and 
     a private conservation group. The partnership is the 
     culmination of decades of discussions between agriculture and 
     conservation interests who, until now, have disagreed over 
     issues such as federal ownership and cattle grazing as part 
     of a tallgrass prairie preserve in Kansas. The language 
     drafted in this legislation is the result of consensus 
     building and compromise between these various groups.
       While the conference agreement only provides for federal 
     ownership, by donation, of 180 acres of land on the preserve, 
     it is hoped that the National Park Service, through the 
     cooperative agreement language contained in this bill, will 
     be able to work with the private land owners (and its leasee) 
     of the rest of the 10,894-acre ranch to provide interpretive 
     and recreation opportunities within the boundaries of the 
     preserve, but beyond the federally owned-core.
       The stated purposes of this bill remain broad to give the 
     National Park Service

     maximum flexibility in determining land use practices within 
     the preserve through the general management planning process, 
     with input from an advisory committee created by this bill. 
     We believe a public planning process, with input from all 
     Kansans, including local citizens and adjacent landowners, 
     will enable the National Park Service to identify the best 
     use for the 180 federally-owned acres, and provide guidance 
     for possible cooperative agreements between the federal 
     government and the private owner and its leasee.
       The conferees note that the Kansas congressional delegation 
     is united in its belief that a strong emphasis of the 
     preserve should include the management of range lands through 
     historic and contemporary ranching practices. While the 
     conferees are unwilling to include language in the act that 
     would require any predetermined use of private property 
     mentioned within this bill, the conferees agree with the 
     Kansas congressional delegation that current cattle ranching 
     activities, consistent with the ecologically sound and 
     sustainable management of this property, should continue 
     after the preserve is created. Cattle ranching, as practiced 
     under the current grazing lease, is consistent with the 
     interpretation of the history and culture of the Flint Hills 
     region of the tallgrass prairie.

                              Section 1021

       This provision establishes a national recreation area, 
     changes the designation of the black canyon of the Gunnison 
     National Monument to a National Park, and designates a new 
     BLM conservation area on the Lower Black Canyons.
       The conferees intend that all agencies operating within the 
     newly designated complex share personnel, supplies, materials 
     and equipment to the extent practicable for a more efficient 
     and effective overall operation.


                              Section 1022

                              Section 1037

       Despite Alaska's stature as the largest State in the Union 
     and the millions of acres of federal lands in the State, 
     Alaska ranks 10th in Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) 
     receipts. This is because the definition of ``unit of local 
     government'' includes only organized boroughs and certain 
     independent cities in Alaska. Yet over 60 percent of the 
     federal lands in Alaska are located outside any organized 
     borough.
       This section will not increase the current entitlement 
     ceiling of PILT, it will only change the way the PILT fund is 
     divided by providing a small additional share of the PILT 
     fund distribution to those Alaskan communities that are 
     outside unorganized boroughs. The legislation also will not 
     reduce other states PILT funding significantly because PILT 
     calculations also include population statistics.


                              Section 1038

       The conferees have included bill language that prohibits 
     termination of a timber sale contract solely for failure to 
     operate a pulp mill. This provision is necessary to provide 
     flexibility to the Administration so that jobs in the sawmill 
     portion of the contract holder's operation are not lost along 
     with pulp mill jobs. The Forest Service shall work with the 
     contract holder to make any excess volume available to 
     sawmills in Southeast Alaska closed for lack of timber.


                              Section 1039

       This provision directs the Secretary of the Interior to 
     undertake a negotiation with several Alaska Native 
     Corporations in the Cook Inlet region of Alaska to resolve 
     disagreements over final land conveyances to the Native 
     Corporations under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. 
     The Secretary is required to report to the relevant 
     authorizing committees the results of the negotiation by 
     March 1, 1997. To facilitate the negotiation, the amendment 
     extends a statute of limitations which could be interpreted 
     as requiring the filing of a suit by the corporations against 
     the Secretary for failure to convey lands described in the 
     Deficiency Agreement of August 31, 1976.


                              Section 1040

       This section authorizes the Native residents of the 
     Southeast Alaska Native villages of Haines, Ketchikan, 
     Petersburg, Tenakee and Wrangell to organize as urban or 
     group corporations under an amendment to the Alaska Native 
     Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA). ANCSA authorized the 
     creation of village, urban and regional corporations to 
     receive settlements and manage assets distributed to settle 
     aboriginal claims of Natives and Native groups in Alaska. The 
     original ANCSA language failed to include the Native villages 
     of Haines, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Tenakee or Wrangell in the 
     exclusive list of villages in Southeast Alaska eligible to 
     create village or urban corporation. Unlike the treatment of 
     other Native villages elsewhere in Alaska, ANCSA did not 
     provide an appeal right or other procedures for qualification 
     of Southeast Native villages not included in the original 
     list. Although Natives enrolled to Haines, Ketchikan, 
     Petersburg, Tenakee and Wrangell during the ANCSA process did 
     become at-large shareholders in the regional corporation for 
     Southeast Alaska, Natives from these five communities were 
     denied the benefits from rights to land and local resources 
     that other village and urban corporations in Southeast Alaska 
     received under ANCSA.


                              Section 1041

       This section would transfer legal title to approximately 
     160 acres of land to Daniel and Douglas Gross. The Gross 
     brothers are the surviving sons of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Gross of 
     Wrangell, Alaska, the original homesteaders.


                              Section 1042

       For an explanation of the text see House Report 104-687 (HR 
     1786).


                              Section 1043

       The Conferees adopted a provision recognizing that in 1982, 
     Cape Fox Corporation (CFC) selected approximately 320 acres 
     surrounding the Beaver Falls hydro-project's powerhouse. The 
     facility was constructed in 1945 and licensed by the FPC, now 
     FERC. It is owned and operated by the City of Ketchikan 
     through the Ketchikan Public Utilities. The City of Ketchikan 
     protested CFC's selection of the site to the Interior Board 
     of Land Appeals (IBLA). The IBLA upheld CFC's selection in a 
     decision made in 1983. In this decision IBLA essentially 
     ruled that the City could continue to operate the hydro 
     facility under the terms of Section 14(g) of ANCSA until 
     their license expired in 1995. At license expiration, use of 
     the land by the City would be subject to acquisition of a 
     real property interest from CFC.
       A FERC order dated November 7, 1994, issuing the ``new'' 
     license for this facility, Project No. 1922-008, includes a 
     clause that directs the City to pay all land use fees 
     including use of CFC land to the federal government. The 
     effect of this decision removes CFC's property rights, which 
     deprive CFC of its ability to make economic use of its land. 
     The FERC order also creates a conflict between two federal 
     agencies, IBLA and FERC.
       This section grants authority for CFC to return the 320 
     acre Beaver Falls selection area to the federal government 
     and expands CFC's selection area accordingly.


                              Section 1044

       The conferees have included bill language requiring the 
     Secretary to report to the relevant committees of the House 
     and Senate on a determination of whether the continued 
     presence of a small antenna at an existing radio 
     communications site barely within the San Bernardino National 
     Forest at Inspiration Point is in the public interest. The 
     conferees regret the need to direct that such a report, given 
     the overwhelming community support for continued presence of 
     the antenna, is necessary for public safety and emergency 
     broadcasts.


                              Section 1045

       Between 1931 and 1954 local sporting enthusiasts and back 
     country users built and constructed a series of 18 dams and 
     concrete weirs throughout the area which later came to be 
     known as the Immigrant Wilderness Area. These dams were built 
     from native rock so as to blend in naturally with their 
     surroundings, most of these dams do not exceed two feet in 
     height. The last dam was built 20 years before wilderness 
     designation was considered for the area.
       Report language for H.R. 12884 which established the 
     Immigrant Wilderness Area indicated that ``the weirs and 
     small dams will be retained.'' Inclusion of this provision in 
     the conference report to preserve these dams will maintain 
     traditional wilderness and recreation uses.


                              Section 1046

       This provision concerns a longstanding inequity affecting 
     the University of Alaska,

[[Page H11040]]

     the State's only federal land grant institution of higher 
     learning. The University was established in 1890. However, 
     because of Alaska's territorial status, it did not benefit 
     from the original Morrill School Lands Act, which only 
     benefited states. Congress sought to address this problem in 
     1915 and 1929 through legislation which reserved certain 
     public lands in Alaska for the benefit of the University. 
     Unfortunately, the University has as of today received less 
     than one-third of the acres it was entitled to receive from 
     the federal government. As a result, even though Alaska is 
     the largest of the fifty states, it ranks 48th in terms of 
     land devoted to higher education. This language begins to 
     address both of these problems by authorizing the Secretary 
     of the Interior to convey up to 350,000 acres of federal 
     lands, on a matching basis with the State of Alaska, to the 
     University.

        Title XI: Calfironia Bay-Delta Environmental Enhancement

       The Managers agreed to the inclusion of this proposal which 
     will authorize $430 million for fiscal years 1998 through 
     2000 for ecosystem protection and restoration in the San 
     Francisco Bay-Delta region. These funds will represent the 
     three-year federal match of state funds allocated in 
     accordance with California Proposition 204. This provision is 
     only effective if the corresponding state proposition 204 is 
     adopted by the voters in November of 1996. If passed, the 
     corresponding state proposition would provide $995 million in 
     state dollars for the program.
