    Sec. 319. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none 
of the funds in this Act may be used for GSA Telecommunication 
Centers.
    Sec. 320. None of the funds in this Act may be used for

roads and trails fund provided for in the 14th paragraph under 
the heading ``FOREST SERVICE'' of the Act of March 4, 1913 (37 
Stat. 843; 16 U.S.C. 501), shall be used by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, without regard to the State in which the amounts 
were derived, to repair or reconstruct roads, bridges, and 
trails on National Forest System lands or to carry out and 
administer projects to improve forest health conditions, which 
may include the repair or reconstruction of roads, bridges, and 
trails on National Forest System lands in the wildland-
community interface where there is an abnormally high risk of 
fire. The projects shall emphasize reducing risks to human 
safety and public health and property and enhancing ecological 
functions, long-term forest productivity, and biological 
integrity. The projects may be completed in a subsequent fiscal 
year. Funds shall not be expended under this section to replace 
funds which would otherwise appropriately be expended from the 
timber salvage sale fund. Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to exempt any project from any environmental law.
    Sec. 322. Other than in emergency situations, none of the 
funds in this Act may be used to operate telephone answering

    Sec. 323. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised 
if the indicated rate is deficit when appraised under the 
transaction evidence appraisal system using domestic Alaska 
values for western red cedar: Provided, That sales which are 
deficit when appraised under the transaction evidence appraisal 
system using domestic Alaska values for western red cedar may 
be advertised upon receipt of a written request by a 
prospective, informed bidder, who has the opportunity to review 
the Forest Service's cruise and harvest cost estimate for that 
timber. Program accomplishments shall be based on volume sold. 
Should Region 10 sell, in fiscal year 2002, the annual average 
portion of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in 
the current Tongass Land Management Plan in sales which are not 
deficit when appraised under the transaction evidence appraisal 
system using domestic Alaska values for western red cedar, all 
of the western red cedar timber from those sales which is 
surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska, shall be 
made available to domestic processors in the contiguous 48 
United States at prevailing domestic prices. Should Region 10 
sell, in fiscal year 2002, less than the annual average portion 
of the decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the 
current Tongass Land Management Plan in sales which are not 
deficit when appraised under the transaction evidence appraisal 
system using domestic Alaska values for western red cedar, the 
volume of western red cedar timber available to domestic 
processors at prevailing domestic prices in the contiguous 48 
United States shall be that volume: (i) which is surplus to the 
needs of domestic processors in Alaska; and (ii) is that 
percent of the surplus western red cedar volume determined by 
calculating the ratio of the total timber volume which has been 
sold on the Tongass to the annual average portion of the 
decadal allowable sale quantity called for in the current 
Tongass Land Management Plan. The percentage shall be 
calculated by Region 10 on a rolling basis as each sale is sold 
(for purposes of this amendment, a ``rolling basis'' shall mean 
that the determination of how much western red cedar is 
eligible for sale to various markets shall be made at the time 
each sale is awarded). Western red cedar shall be deemed 
``surplus to the needs of domestic processors in Alaska'' when 
the timber sale holder has presented to the Forest Service 
documentation of the inability to sell western red cedar logs 
from a given sale to domestic Alaska processors at price equal 
to or greater than the log selling value stated in the 
contract. All additional western red cedar volume not sold to 
Alaska or contiguous 48 United States domestic processors may 
be exported to foreign markets at the election of the timber 
sale holder. All Alaska yellow cedar may be sold at prevailing 
export prices at the election of the timber sale holder.
    Sec. 324. The Forest Service, in consultation with the 
Department of Labor, shall review Forest Service campground 
concessions policy to determine if modifications can be made to 
Forest Service contracts for campgrounds so that such 
concessions fall within the regulatory exemption of 29 CFR 
4.122(b). The Forest Service shall offer in fiscal year 2002 
such concession prospectuses under the regulatory exemption, 
except that, any prospectus that does not meet the requirements 
of the regulatory exemption shall be offered as a service 
contract in accordance with the requirements of 41 U.S.C. 351-
358.
    Sec. 325. A project undertaken by the Forest Service under 
the Recreation Fee Demonstration Program as authorized by 
section 315 of the Department of the Interior and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1996, as amended, 
shall not result in--
            (1) displacement of the holder of an authorization 
        to provide commercial recreation services on Federal 
        lands. Prior to initiating any project, the Secretary 
        shall consult with potentially affected holders to 
        determine what impacts the project may have on the 
        holders. Any modifications to the authorization shall 
        be made within the terms and conditions of the 
        authorization and authorities of the impacted agency.
            (2) the return of a commercial recreation service 
        to the Secretary for operation when such services have 
        been provided in the past by a private sector provider, 
        except when--
                    (A) the private sector provider fails to 
                bid on such opportunities;
                    (B) the private sector provider terminates 
                its relationship with the agency; or
                    (C) the agency revokes the permit for non-
                compliance with the terms and conditions of the 
                authorization.
    In such cases, the agency may use the Recreation Fee 
Demonstration Program to provide for operations until a 
subsequent operator can be found through the offering of a new 
prospectus.
    Sec. 326. For fiscal years 2002 and 2003, the Secretary of 
Agriculture is authorized to limit competition for fire and 
fuel treatment and watershed restoration contracts in the Giant 
Sequoia National Monument and the Sequoia National Forest. 
Preference for employment shall be given to dislocated and 
displaced workers in Tulare, Kern and Fresno Counties, 
California, for work associated with the establishment of the 
Giant Sequoia National Monument.

2002, the Secretary of Agriculture shall not be considered to 
be in violation of subparagraph 6(f)(5)(A) of the Forest and 
Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 (16 U.S.C. 
1604(f)(5)(A)) solely because more than 15 years have passed 
without revision of the plan for a unit of the National Forest 
System. Nothing in this section exempts the Secretary from any 
other requirement of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable 
Resources Planning Act (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.) or any other 
law: Provided, That if the Secretary is not acting 
expeditiously and in good faith, within the funding available, 
to revise a plan for a unit of the National Forest System, this 
section shall be void with respect to such plan and a court of 
proper jurisdiction may order completion of the plan on an 
accelerated basis.
    Sec. 328. Until September 30, 2003, the authority of the 
Secretary of Agriculture to enter into a cooperative agreement 
under the first section of Public Law 94-148 (16 U.S.C. 565a-1) 
for a purpose described in such section includes the authority 
to use that legal instrument when the principal purpose of the 
resulting relationship is to the mutually significant benefit 
of the Forest Service and the other party or parties to the 
agreement, including nonprofit entities.
    Sec. 329. (a) Pilot Program Authorizing Conveyance of

be made under the authority of this section, and the Secretary 
of Agriculture shall obtain the concurrence of the Committee on 
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Appropriations of the Senate in advance of each 
conveyance.
    (c) Use of Proceeds.--The proceeds derived from the sale of 
a building or other structure under this section shall be 
retained by the Secretary of Agriculture and shall be available 
to the Secretary, without further appropriation until expended, 
for maintenance and rehabilitation activities within the Forest 
Service Region in which the building or structure is located.
    (d) Duration of Authority.--The authority provided by this 
section expires on September 30, 2005.
    Sec. 330. Section 323(a) of the Department of the Interior 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as included in

existed on January 20, 2001, except where such activities are 
allowed under the Presidential proclamation establishing such 
monument.
    Sec. 332. Section 347(a) of the Department of the Interior 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as included in 
Public Law 105-277, is amended by striking ``2002'' and

end result contracts provided to the Forest Service in 
accordance with section 347 of title III of section 101(e) of 
division A of Public Law 105-277 is hereby expanded to 
authorize the Forest Service to enter into an additional 28

adopted by the Departments of Agriculture or the Interior 
regarding recovery of costs for processing authorizations to 
occupy and use Federal lands under their control shall adhere 
to and incorporate the following principle arising from Office 
of Management and Budget Circular, A-25; no charge should 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. 2217), making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and Related 
Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, and for 
other purposes, 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 conference agreement on H.R. 2217 incorporates some 
of the provisions of both the House and the Senate versions of 
the bill. Report language and allocations set forth in either 
House Report 107-103 or Senate Report 107-36 that are not 
changed by the conference are approved by the committee of 
conference. The statement of the managers, while repeating some 
report language for emphasis, does not negate the language 
referenced above unless expressly provided herein.

                        Reprogramming Guidelines

      The Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations 
reprogramming guidelines were last published in the House and 
Senate reports accompanying the FY 1998 Interior and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act (H. Rep. 105-163, S. Rep. 105-56). 
While the managers have agreed to only one minor change to 
these guidelines for the National Park Service (addressed under 
the land acquisition and State assistance account), recent 
dealings with several agencies suggest that the following 
clarifications are needed to prevent any future 
misunderstandings regarding the applicability of reprogramming 
procedures in certain situations.
      Though a reprogramming is in part defined in the 
guidelines as a reallocation of funds from one budget activity 
(or other applicable level of detail) to another, the 
guidelines also state that any significant departure from the 
program described in the agency's budget justification shall be 
considered a reprogramming. This latter portion of the 
definition encompasses the reallocation of funds within a 
budget activity, if such reallocation represents a 
``significant departure'' from the description provided in the 
relevant budget justification. In this regard, the managers 
would view as a ``significant departure'' any reallocation of 
funds within a budget activity for programs or contracts 
involving out-year mortgages that are not discussed in detail 
in the budget justification. Multi-year and no-year funds do 
not lose their program identities when carried over to 
subsequent years and a reprogramming is required if such carry-
over funds are to be used for purposes other than those 
originally directed.

                     Conservation Spending Category

      The conservation spending category created in title VIII 
of the fiscal year 2001 Interior and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, provided that up to $1,320,000,000 could be 
appropriated for conservation related activities, in addition 
to ongoing activities funded in this bill. The conference 
agreement fully funds the conservation spending category at 
$1,320,000,000. The distribution of funds as agreed to by the 
managers is shown in the table below.

                  TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                       Bureau of Land Management

                   management of lands and resources

      The conference agreement provides $775,632,000 for 
management of lands and resources instead of $768,711,000 as 
proposed by the House and $775,962,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Within this amount, $29,000,000 is from the 
conservation spending category.
      Increases above the House for land resources include 
$501,000 for noxious weeds for the Montana State University 
weed program, $500,000 for Idaho weed control, and $400,000 for 
the Headwaters Forest reserve and a decrease of $1,000,000 for 
the natural resource challenge program.
      Increases above the House for recreation management 
include $1,000,000 for Missouri River undaunted stewardship.
      Increases above the House for energy and minerals include 
$45,000 for management reforms, $2,000,000 for the National 
Petroleum Reserve/Alaska, and $1,775,000 for Alaska minerals 
for the continued development of an interagency geological 
database that was initiated in fiscal year 2001.
      The managers have provided $6,000,000 to address the 
Bureau's increased operational workload for oil and gas 
permitting and related activities, with an emphasis on 
expediting permit applications for coalbed methane development. 
The managers direct the Bureau to focus all possible efforts 
towards completion of environmental reviews that are necessary 
to proceed with further leasing.
      The managers did not agree with the $700,000 earmark 
included in the Senate version of the bill to address the oil 
and gas permit backlog in the State of Utah. However, the 
managers did provide a significant increase for oil and gas 
permitting activities, a portion of which should be used to 
address the Utah backlog.
      Increases above the House for realty and ownership 
management include $350,000 for the Montana cadastral project, 
$300,000 for the Utah geographic reference project, and 
$1,500,000 for Alaska conveyance to establish a public lands 
database.
      The managers note that the increase provided for the 
Montana cadastral project fully funds the Federal share of this 
effort, however, the Bureau is encouraged to continue working 
with the State of Montana to finalize the project and 
facilitate data sharing.
      Decreases below the House for resource protection and 
maintenance include $200,000 for desert rangers, for a total 
increase of $400,000 in fiscal year 2002.
      There is an increase above the House level for 
transportation and facilities maintenance of $250,000 for the 
Iditarod National Historic Trail.
      There is a decrease of $500,000 below the House level for 
workforce organizational support, which reflects a transfer to 
the Inspector General for Bureau audits.
      The managers agree to the following:
      1. The managers note that both the House and Senate 
included the Bureau's request of $3,000,000 to identify and 
evaluate oil and gas resources and reserves on public lands. In 
light of recent attacks on the United States that have 
underscored the potential for disruptions to America's energy 
supply, the managers believe this project should be considered 
a top priority for the Department. Additionally, the managers 
direct the Bureau to provide the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations biannual reports on the progress of this effort 
and a final report detailing the findings of this review.
      2. The managers wish to clarify the language dealing with 
the allocation of funds from the conservation spending 
category. Funding included in the management of lands and 
resources appropriation for the conservation spending category 
can be used for infrastructure improvements on all public lands 
including Oregon and California grant lands.
      3. The managers are aware of the significant success the 
military services have had in utilizing pulse technology in 
their vehicles and other equipment to reduce costs and increase 
environmental benefits through the extension of the service 
life of batteries. The managers urge the Department as a whole, 
and specifically the Bureau of Land Management, the National 
Park Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to examine 
the opportunity for cost savings and associated environmental 
benefits of using pulse technology for battery management 
programs. The managers believe that this technology, if adopted 
by the Department, will directly benefit the Bureaus.
      4. The managers urge the Department and the Bureau to 
place the highest possible priority on completion of the 
Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Management Plan.
      5. The managers have not provided $300,000 for the 
Southwest Strategy as proposed by the Senate.
      Bill Language:
      1. Language is included under the Bureau's administrative 
provisions reauthorizing the hard rock mining holding fee for 2 
years.
      2. The managers have earmarked $700,000 for the Rio 
Puerco watershed project, which is $300,000 above the budget 
request. The increase above the request shall be used for 
projects and initiatives developed by the Rio Puerco Management 
Committee (section 401 of Public Law 104-333).
      3. The managers have earmarked $4,000,000 for the 
assessment of mineral potential in Alaska as proposed by the 
Senate instead of $2,225,000 as proposed by the House.
      4. The conference agreement includes a technical 
correction to the conservation spending category statutory 
language as proposed by the Senate.

                        WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

      The conference agreement provides $678,421,000 for 
wildland fire management instead of $700,806,000 as proposed by 
the House and $659,421,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The managers have provided $280,807,000 for preparedness, 
$161,424,000 for fire suppression of which $34,000,000 is a 
contingent emergency appropriation, and $236,190,000 for other 
operations of which $20,000,000 is a contingent emergency 
appropriation for the rehabilitation and restoration program. 
The bureau may allocate up to an additional $2,838,000 for the 
Ecological Restoration Institute, Arizona for fuels reduction 
work including work at Mt. Trumbull.
      The managers have not earmarked funds in bill language 
for hazardous fuels reduction work in the wildland-urban 
interface as proposed by the Senate. Instead, the managers 
direct the Department of the Interior to allocate the funding 
level proposed in the Administration's budget request of 
$111,255,000 on projects in the wildland-urban interface. If 
for any reason the Department is unable to attain the proposed 
levels, it shall promptly notify the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations explaining why the Department was 
unable to expend such sums. The managers continue to believe 
that an emphasis on fuels reduction work in the wildland-urban 
interface is critical to protecting the safety of rural 
communities.
      Within the funds provided for other operations, 
$1,000,000 is for the National Center for Landscape Fire 
Analysis at Montana State University including funding for the 
purchase of a hyperspectral digital camera.

      The managers believe that the full, integrated national 
fire plan effort needs to be sustained in future years in order 
to reduce the risks of catastrophic fire in many areas of the 
Nation. The managers note that the Administration, working 
along with governors and local communities, have submitted a 
framework for a ten-year national fire plan. However, after 
reviewing the plan, the managers are concerned that the plan 
does not lay out clear funding requirements for various aspects 
of this important endeavor. Therefore, the managers direct the 
Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to provide to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by March 15, 
2002, an updated fire plan that includes detailed schedules of 
activities and funding requirements. The managers understand 
that funding requirements for wildfire activities include 
considerable year-to-year uncertainty depending on weather and 
fire circumstances and therefore the managers view the funding 
requirements for the national fire plan as being an iterative 
process, which requires annual updates. The managers direct the 
Departments of the Interior and Agriculture to continue to work 
together to formulate complementary budget requests that 
reflect the same principles and a similar budget organization 
and submit a cross-cutting budget request to the Committees, 
which covers all federal wildfire responsibilities. In 
addition, the managers expect the agencies to seek the advice 
of governors, and local and tribal government representatives 
in setting priorities for fuels treatments, burned area 
rehabilitation, and public outreach and education.
      The managers remain concerned about the variation in 
methods by which the Departments calculate wildfire fighting 
readiness and how the Departments plan their distribution of 
firefighting resources to attain efficiency. The managers 
direct the two Departments to develop and implement a 
coordinated and common system for calculating readiness which 
includes provisions for working with the shared fire fighting 
resources of the States and other cooperators and considers 
values of various resources on both Federal and other lands.
      The managers are also concerned about the fire 
suppression costs during major incidents and therefore the 
Forest Service and the Department of the Interior are directed 
to contract for a thorough, independent review of wildfire 
suppression costs and strategies. The Departments should 
equally share the cost of the review and a preliminary report 
should be issued by May 31, 2002 and the final report should be 
delivered to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
by September 30, 2002.

                          Resource Management

      The conference agreement provides $850,597,000 for 
resource management instead of $839,852,000 as proposed by the 
House and $845,814,000 as proposed by the Senate. The numerical 
changes described below are to the House recommended level.
      In endangered species programs there are increases of 
$400,000 in candidate conservation for the Idaho sage grouse 
management plan, $524,000 for the listing program, and $250,000 
in consultation for the Central Valley and Southern California 
habitat conservation plan. There is also a decrease of 
$1,500,000 for the consultation program backlog.
      Changes in the endangered species recovery program 
include increases of $800,000 for eider recovery at the Alaska 
Sealife Center, $200,000 for wolf monitoring in Idaho, $500,000 
for the Preble's meadow jumping mouse in Colorado, $700,000 for 
Upper Colorado River endangered fish recovery, $600,000 for

      In migratory bird management, there are increases of 
$575,000 to reduce seabird bycatch in Alaska, $1,000,000 for 
the Canada geese depredation program, $200,000 for the National 
Aquaculture Center in Arkansas to address cormorant depredation 
problems, and $250,000 to address alternative habitat and food 
sources for terns in Idaho. There is also a decrease of $68,000 
for joint venture programs, which reflects the elimination of 
the ``general program activities'' category. The funding level 
for each joint venture is identical to that shown in the House 
report.
      There are no refuge-specific earmarks for law 
enforcement. Canaan Valley NWR, WV law enforcement maintenance 
needs are addressed in the construction account.
      Changes to fisheries programs include an increase of

the Endangered Species Act recovery program.
      In general administration, there is an increase of 
$750,000 for travel and decreases of $1,000,000 for the 
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and $825,000 for audits 
(which are funded under the Office of Inspector General 
salaries and expenses account). Grants for Atlantic salmon 
(Gulf of Maine) through the National Fish and Wildlife 
Foundation are addressed in the Endangered Species Act recovery 
program.
      The managers agree to the following:
      1. A total of $29,000,000 for infrastructure improvement 
is charged against the conservation spending category.
      2. $850,000 is allocated to the Service for the Pima 
County, Arizona, regional multi-species habitat conservation 
planning effort that will result in Endangered Species Act 
Section 10 permits and is developed in cooperation with the 
following entities: the municipalities in Pima County (to 
include at least the City of Tucson, Town of Marana, and Town 
of Oro Valley) through a Cooperative Agreement by and among the 
County and participating municipalities based on the Service's 
Habitat Conservation Planning Handbook HCP MOU, and with the 
State of Arizona, Pima County interest groups, and Pima County 
citizens.
      3. The $200,000 increase for wolf monitoring activities 
in Idaho is to be managed by the Service's Snake River Basin 
Office in Boise, Idaho.
      4. The Service is strongly encouraged to work with the 
Idaho Office of Species Conservation and Bruneau Hot Springs 
Snail Conservation Committee in support of the Bruneau Hot 
Springs snail program, including conservation easement 
financing and water conservation practices, using appropriate 
grant programs administered by the Service.
      5. The Service should place a high priority on the 
staffing and planning needs at the Hanford Reach National 
Monument, WA and on the unmet need for invasive plant control 
at the Loxahatchee NWR, FL.
      6. The additional funds in hatchery operations and 
maintenance for the Leadville NFH, CO are provided with the 
expectation that the Department will ensure that the Bureau of 
Reclamation provides its share of funds for the project, 
consistent with the Bureau's mitigation responsibility.
      7. Work by the Service to mitigate the adverse effects of 
water resource development projects conducted by other Federal 
agencies should be performed on a cost reimbursable basis and 
the Service should receive full and fair compensation for such 
work.
      8. Funding for the wildlife enhancement program in 
Starkville, Mississippi is provided to assist in the 
establishment of an educational program to assist private 
landowners. There is no commitment to future funding.
      9. Of the $2,246,000 provided for the continuation of 
activities begun in fiscal year 1997 to combat whirling disease 
and related fish health issues, $700,000 is for the National 
Partnership on the Management of Wild and Native Cold Water 
Fisheries, $250,000 is for the purpose of resistant trout 
research to be coordinated through the Whirling Disease 
Foundation, and $1,296,000 is to continue the National Wild 
Fish Health Survey, to expand whirling disease investigations, 
and to recruit and train health professionals.
      10. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is currently 
conducting a major review of different approaches to preserving 
the Meadowlands wetlands area in northern New Jersey. The 
managers understand that the Service has no plan to establish a 
new National Wildlife Refuge System unit in this area but 
believes that the Service can be a helpful partner in this 
review by adding its unique expertise on the elements of the 
study that pertain to conservation of wildlife, particularly 
migratory birds. The managers have deleted without prejudice 
the earmark in the Senate bill for a separate U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service Meadowlands study. Instead, the managers 
direct the Service to provide in-depth advice and consultation 
to the Corps to ensure that the study reflects the most 
appropriate recommendations for the support of wildlife in any 
future Meadowlands plans. The managers believe this will 
involve a substantial commitment of Fish and Wildlife Service 
resources to the Corps' effort, approximately equal to the 
$140,000 specified in the Senate bill.
      11. The Service is encouraged to work with Marion County, 
Oregon and other stakeholders to address the long-term 
preservation of critical wetlands and wildlife habitat in the 
Lake Labish Basin.
      The managers have agreed to a technical change to the 
conservation spending category bill language as proposed by the 
Senate, and a technical change as proposed by the House on 
merging prior year funds for infrastructure improvement under 
the conservation spending category.
      The House proposed bill language designating specific 
amounts for the endangered species listing program and for 
critical habitat designations has been modified to adopt the 
Senate funding level for the listing program and to specify 
that the critical habitat designation limitation is exclusive 
of funds needed for litigation support.
      Senate proposed earmarks for a study of the Hackensack 
Meadowlands in New Jersey, for Atlantic salmon grants in Maine, 
and for University of Idaho research on salmon and trout 
recovery are not retained in statutory language. Each of these 
items is addressed above.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The managers are concerned that the Service's 
construction program is not based on a sound strategic plan 
that clearly identifies priorities for the construction of 
headquarters, maintenance, visitor, and education facilities. 
For the past few years, construction budget requests have been 
inadequate and limited, almost exclusively, to health and 
safety-related projects. As a result, construction priorities 
outside that narrow scope have been set by the Congress. 
Management personnel within the Service have taken advantage of 
Congressional earmarks by attempting to convert a large number 
of Congressionally earmarked projects, including basic repair 
projects, into proposals for large, expensive visitor and 
education centers. The managers believe that the Service needs 
to take control of the priority setting process for 
construction and to set fair and reasonable priorities for 
construction outside the health and safety arena. Further, 
funding for the highest priority refuge and hatchery 
headquarters, visitor/education center construction projects, 
and visitor contact stations should be justified and requested 
in annual budget submissions.
      The managers expect the Service to focus on providing on-
the-ground refuge experiences for visitors and modest visitor/
education centers and visitor contact stations. The Service 
should develop standardized designs for education and visitor 
centers and for visitor contact stations. The managers suggest 
that the maximum cost for any visitor center should not exceed 
$3 million unless there are extreme, extenuating circumstances, 
such as the high cost of materials transport and construction 
in Alaska. The managers expect the Service to treat the maximum 
amount as a true ceiling and not as the amount that every 
visitor center will receive. Also, visitor contact stations 
should have a much lower maximum funding level.
      The managers expect the Service to pursue cost sharing, 
including in-kind services and contributions, in establishing 
priorities for construction. Further, the size of visitor 
centers and headquarters buildings should be related to current 
visitation and currently established ``minimum staffing 
levels'' and not based on comprehensive conservation plan or 
other projections. The guidelines and specifications developed 
by the Service should address size and function, 
sustainability, energy efficiency, people flow, and operating 
costs. The managers also expect the Service to develop unified 
outreach materials for visitor facilities.
      The Service should report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations no later than February 1, 2002, on 
its priority setting and evaluation process for construction 
projects. Supervisory and management personnel within the 
Service should be held accountable for implementing Service 
construction priorities and should be clearly directed to 
refrain from operating as ``free agents'' in support of 
specific construction proposals outside that process.
      Finally, the managers caution the Service that its 
refuge-specific comprehensive conservation plans are raising 
unrealistic expectations, both within and outside the Service, 
with respect to construction, land acquisition, and operations 
and maintenance funding availability. The managers expect the 
Service to place a clear and realistic statement in the front 
of each comprehensive conservation plan stating that such plans 
detail program planning levels that are substantially above 
current budget allocations and, as such, are for Service 
strategic planning and program prioritization purposes only. 
Such plans do not constitute a commitment for refuge boundary 
expansions, staffing increases, or funding for future refuge-
specific land acquisitions, construction projects or 
operational and maintenance increases.
      The managers agree to the following:
      1. The funds provided for the Northwest Power Planning 
Area are for construction of fish screens, fish passage 
devices, and related features, pursuant to Public Law 106-502.
      2. No funds are provided for an administrative center and 
visitor facility at Pelican Island NWR, FL. The Service should 
identify a site for, and justify the cost of, such a facility 
in future budget requests.
      3. The Crusoe Conservation Center at the Montezuma NWR, 
NY is being funded largely with State and local funding from 
the State of New York, the local school district, Ducks 
Unlimited, and the Audubon Society. The managers encourage the 
Service to pursue such cost sharing for construction projects 
on other refuges.
      4. The Service should pursue potential cost-sharing 
arrangements for construction of the Waccamaw NWR, SC visitor 
and education center.
      5. No funds are included for planning and design of a 
research facility at the Sevilleta NWR, NM. The Service should 
consider such a facility in the context of its construction 
priorities for fiscal year 2003.
      6. Further funding for barn rehabilitation at John Hay 
NWR, NH, if needed, should be provided from other sources such 
as historic preservation groups.

                            LAND ACQUISITION

      The conference agreement provides $99,135,000 for land 
acquisition instead of $104,401,000 as proposed by the House 
and $108,401,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funds should be 
distributed as follows:

      The funds included for the Great Salt Pond NWR, RI are 
subject to authorization.
      The managers direct the Service to make land acquisition 
requests for individual refuge units, rather than the current 
practice of making requests at the refuge complex level.
      None of the funding provided for land acquisition shall 
be used to acquire land for the placement of a visitor/
interpretive center, without specifically identifying this 
purpose in the budget justification for both the land 
acquisition and construction accounts.
      The managers have included bill language authorizing the 
purchase of common stock of Yauhannah Properties, Inc. The 
managers understand that the Yauhannah Properties, Inc. sole 
holding is property within the boundary of the Waccamaw 
National Wildlife Refuge, and they are only making the property 
available through the sale of common stock. Therefore, the 
managers are aware that it may be necessary for the Service to 
acquire this parcel by purchasing the common stock. The 
managers note that this purchase presents a number of 
complexities outside the Service's expertise, including 
potential tax implications. The managers expect that the 
Service should not assume any Federal, State, or other 
jurisdiction tax liability by acquiring this property through 
the purchase of common stock. The managers also expect that the 
purchase of common stock should only occur if the United States 
does not assume any material unanticipated liabilities or 
assume any additional liability or expense than it would 
otherwise assume if the underlying property were acquired.
      The managers continue to be concerned about the Service's 
land acquisition budgeting and its land acquisition policy. In 
response to continuing oversight by the Appropriations 
Committees, the Service has developed a proposal to streamline 
staffing and to reform its approach to land acquisition 
budgeting and program implementation. The managers expect the 
Service to implement its proposal to reduce staffing from the 
current FTE level of 198 to 156 FTEs by October 1, 2003. The 
Service should make much greater use of contract resources for 
appraisals, cartography and surveying associated with land 
acquisition. The practice of refuge personnel and endangered 
species personnel charging costs to land acquisition should be 
terminated unless there are reimbursable agreements in place.
      The managers have agreed to bill language to permit the 
limited use of project funding for overhead cost allocation 
consistent with the Service's cost allocation methodology 
during fiscal year 2002 only. The maximum amount that can be 
assessed against all land acquisition projects in fiscal year 
2002 is $2,500,000 and the managers urge the Service to use 
savings from staffing attrition and other streamlining efforts 
to reduce, to the greatest extent possible, the amount assessed 
to a number well below the maximum allowable level.
      The managers expect the Service to identify clearly its 
land acquisition planning requirements in the fiscal year 2003 
and future budget requests and to justify fully those 
requirements as a separate line item in the land acquisition or 
resource management account. Likewise, any overhead cost 
allocation should be minimized and justified fully as a 
separate ``cost allocation methodology'' line item in the land 
acquisition account.
      The managers expect the Service to report semi-annually 
on progress in implementing its land acquisition streamlining 
proposal and to achieve the October 1, 2003 staffing goals 
sooner than that date to the maximum extent practicable. The 
first progress report is due no later than February 1, 2002. 
Also, the managers strongly support the policy requiring 
Director approval of any refuge boundary expansion and expect 
the Service to justify any such approvals in the semi-annual 
report.
      Land acquisition reform should be incorporated as a 
critical performance element in the Service's supervisory 
performance standards at the highest levels in headquarters, 
regional offices and the field. This performance element should 
be taken very seriously within the Service and the semi-annual 
reports to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
should address specifically management performance on this 
element. The managers remind the Service that land acquisition 
reform should not be limited to implementing the Service's 
streamlining proposal. It should also apply to the individual 
manager's responsibility to adhere to the Service's land 
acquisition prioritization process and not operate as a ``free 
agent'' in support of specific land acquisition proposals 
outside that process.
      Finally, the managers caution the Service that its 
refuge-specific comprehensive conservation plans are raising 
unrealistic expectations, both within and outside the Service, 
with respect to future land acquisition, construction, and 
operations and maintenance funding availability. The managers 
expect the Service to place a clear and realistic statement in 
the front of each comprehensive conservation plan stating that 
such plans detail program planning levels that are 
substantially above current budget allocations and, as such, 
are for Service strategic planning and program prioritization 
purposes only. Such plans do not constitute a commitment for 
refuge boundary expansions, staffing increases, or funding for 
future refuge-specific land acquisitions, construction projects 
or operational and maintenance increases.

                      LANDOWNER INCENTIVE PROGRAM

      The conference agreement provides $40,000,000 for the 
landowner incentive program instead of $50,000,000 as proposed 
by both the House and the Senate.

                           STEWARDSHIP GRANTS

      The conference agreement provides $10,000,000 for 
stewardship grants as proposed by both the House and the 
Senate.

            COOPERATIVE ENDANGERED SPECIES CONSERVATION FUND

      The conference agreement provides $96,235,000 for the 
cooperative endangered species conservation fund instead of 
$107,000,000 as proposed by the House and $91,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. Changes to the House level include a 
decrease of $12,000,000 for habitat conservation plan land 
acquisition and an increase of $1,235,000 for program 
administration.

                     NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE FUND

      The conference agreement provides $14,414,000 for the 
national wildlife refuge fund as proposed by the Senate instead 
of $16,414,000 as proposed by the House. None of these funds 
are charged against the conservation spending category.

               NORTH AMERICAN WETLANDS CONSERVATION FUND

      The conference agreement provides $43,500,000 for the 
North American wetlands conservation fund instead of 
$45,000,000 as proposed by the House and $42,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. Decreases to the House level include 
$1,440,000 for wetlands conservation grants and $60,000 for 
program administration.
      The managers understand that the Caddo Lake Institute in 
partnership with the Division of International Conservation and 
the National Wetlands Research Center in Lafayette, Louisiana 
are interested in pursuing a RAMSAR-based wetlands science, 
site management and education program. The managers strongly 
encourage the Service to work with these groups to explore the 
possibility of funding such an activity through a North 
American Wetlands Conservation Act grant or another Service 
program.
      The managers have agreed to bill language, as proposed by 
the House, limiting increased grant funding above the fiscal 
year 2001 level to projects in the United States. The Senate 
had no similar provision.

                NEOTROPICAL MIGRATORY BIRD CONSERVATION

      The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 for the 
neotropical migratory bird conservation program instead of 
$5,000,000 as proposed by the House and no funding as proposed 
by the Senate. None of these funds are charged against the 
conservation spending category.
      The managers expect the program to be administered by the 
division of bird habitat conservation but the Service should 
incorporate international program staff expertise into the 
oversight and administration of the program.

                MULTINATIONAL SPECIES CONSERVATION FUND

      The conference agreement provides $4,000,000 for the 
multinational species conservation fund as proposed by both the 
House and the Senate.
      The managers have agreed to bill language, as proposed by 
the House, specifying the public law citations for the Asian 
elephant and the rhino and tiger funds.

                         STATE WILDLIFE GRANTS

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement provides $85,000,000 for State 
wildlife grants in fiscal year 2002 instead of $100,000,000 as 
proposed by both the House and the Senate. Within this amount, 
$5,000,000 is for a competitive grant program for Indian 
tribes. The agreement also provides for the rescission of 
$25,000,000 from the fiscal year 2001 appropriation rather than 
a rescission of $49,890,000 as proposed by the Senate and no 
rescission as proposed by the House.
      The managers agree to the clarification of the ``full 
array'' of wildlife requirement for planning contained in the 
House report.
      The managers have agreed to the distribution formula in 
bill language proposed by the Senate rather than the formula 
proposed by the House. The managers have also agreed to a 
technical change to the conservation spending category bill 
language proposed by the Senate.

                         TRIBAL WILDLIFE GRANTS

      The conference agreement provides no funding under this 
heading for tribal wildlife grants; however, $5,000,000 is 
earmarked under the State wildlife grant program for this 
purpose.

                         National Park Service

                 OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM

      The conference agreement provides $1,476,977,000 for the 
operation of the National park system instead of $1,480,336,000 
as proposed by the House and $1,473,128,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Of this amount, $2,000,000 for the Youth Conservation 
Corps program is derived from the conservation spending 
category.
      The agreement provides $318,827,000 for resource 
stewardship as proposed by the House instead of $317,996,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. The agreement provides $297,543,000 for 
visitor services as proposed by the House instead of 
$298,343,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The agreement provides $481,088,000 for maintenance 
instead of $483,197,000 as proposed by the House and 
$478,701,000 as proposed by the Senate. Changes to the House 
level include increases totaling $600,000 for the New River 
Gorge National River to hire local crews to improve visitor 
access and facilities, remove structures posing hazards to 
visitors, and provide technical support and maintenance for the 
parkway. There is a reduction of $2,709,000 for the repair and 
rehabilitation program. Within the total for repair and 
rehabilitation the following projects should be funded: 
$675,000 for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park including 
$375,000 to repair the historic log cabins and a $300,000 
general increase for maintenance needs, $400,000 for the George 
Washington Memorial Parkway, $175,000 for the Klondike Goldrush 
National Historic Park, and $400,000 for the Indiana Dunes 
National Lakeshore.
      The conference agreement provides $272,921,000 for park 
support instead of $271,371,000 as proposed by the House and 
$271,490,000 as proposed by the Senate. Changes to the House 
level include increases of $200,000 for Wild and Scenic 
Partnership Rivers, $2,000,000 for Lewis and Clark Challenge 
Cost Share program grants and a decrease of $650,000 for 
financial audits, which have been funded under the Inspector 
General account. The entire $200,000 increase for Wild and 
Scenic Partnerships Rivers should be allocated directly to the 
eight partnership rivers through the Northeast Regional Office. 
The funds should be equally divided among the areas. The 
managers direct that no overhead costs may be charged to this 
money including the hiring of new staff. Any technical 
assistance should be provided by the existing rivers, trails 
and conservation assistance regional staff.
      The agreement provides $104,598,000 for external 
administrative costs as proposed by the Senate instead of 
$107,398,000 as proposed by the House. The change to the House 
level is a reduction of $2,800,000 for bandwidth needs.
      Following enactment of this Act, the National Park 
Service should make the necessary adjustments to align the 
additional operation funds for the purposes approved by the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with the proper 
budget subactivities.
      The managers remain supportive of the parks and programs 
of the Service. Each year, efforts are made to provide 
additional operational increases, over and above the request, 
to keep pace with the growing demands on the system and the 
Service. While some additional hiring may be necessary, the 
managers strongly encourage the Service to consider carefully 
the outyear implications of hiring decisions being made with 
available funds. Inflationary adjustments, pay cost 
requirements, and other dollars necessary to support employees 
grow over time. At a time of budget uncertainty, NPS managers 
should be cautious in committing to the hiring of additional 
personnel that may not be sustainable over time if budget 
increases are not forthcoming in future years.
      The managers reinforce the direction in the House report 
regarding the cost and size of visitor centers, heritage 
centers and environmental education centers. Nearly five years 
ago, the Service was cautioned to be more realistic about the 
development of General Management Plans, which, in many cases, 
have become unrealistic documents which tend to include 
expensive, oversized buildings and other projects that are not 
essential or central to the mission of the park. In many 
instances, superintendents, working outside the National Park 
Service's budget process, put forward proposals for visitor 
centers that are oversized and do not take into account the 
location, current visitation and staffing levels of the 
specific unit. These projects often compete directly against 
backlog maintenance projects and other construction priority 
needs of the Service.
      The managers direct the Director to take these repeated 
concerns seriously and prepare a response by February 1, 2002, 
which proposes a new National policy regarding the preparation 
of General Management Plans, addresses the issue of oversized 
structures, establishes appropriate scope for new proposed 
facilities, and establishes cost and planning parameters to be 
followed by all parks.
      The managers expect the Director and the Regional 
Directors to be familiar with the scope of projects proposed, 
and to withhold approval of plans and projects that are not 
consistent with the policy to be articulated. This applies to 
proposals that are being officially considered through the 
budget process and proposals that are being considered 
independently. The managers understand that lines of authority 
flow from the Director through the Regional Directors to the 
parks, and greater discipline must be imposed in complying with 
established policy.
      The managers also suggest that there should be a priority 
process for proposing new visitor facilities, when needed, and 
that the Service consider seriously the inclusion of this type 
of facility in the budget process when it meets a priority need 
of the Park System. The managers are concerned that priority 
systems for line-item construction which rely solely on backlog 
maintenance as a determining factor for funding will exacerbate 
the trend towards bypassing the established budget process for 
visitor services facilities. The National Park Service and the 
Department of the Interior are encouraged to agree on one 
common priority system that reflects the breadth of the 
Service's mission, with a strong emphasis on addressing backlog 
issues while responding to the emerging challenges facing the 
Service.
      The managers have agreed to the Senate bill language 
providing two-year availability for maintenance, repair or 
rehabilitation projects, an automated facility management 
software system, and comprehensive facility condition 
assessments.
      The managers have retained language, proposed by the 
House, which precludes the Service from establishing a new 
associate director position for business practices and 
partnerships. The managers agree that the Service needs to 
enhance its capacities in these areas, particularly with regard 
to strategic direction in the areas of concessions and fee 
management. Rather than reorganizing and creating more 
positions, at a time when the Administration is requiring 
agencies to review their workforces and streamline their 
organizations, the managers expect the Service to focus on 
increasing the technical and financial expertise needed to 
improve and protect the financial interests of parks on behalf 
of the taxpayers. Not all of these skills need to be hired on a 
permanent basis. Contracts and consultants should be used as 
appropriate. In filling positions in the concessions and fee 
areas, the managers expect the Service to abandon the 
traditional position descriptions and job screening criteria, 
and recruit for new employees who possess the necessary 
financial and strategic backgrounds. The managers have 
supported most of the business plans developed to date, and 
recommend that the types of skills used in that project be put 
to greater use within the National Park Service.
      The managers have agreed to modify the Senate language 
regarding the Lewis and Clark Challenge Cost Share program to 
limit single awards to no more than $250,000 instead of 
$100,000 as proposed by the Senate. The managers also want to 
make clear that the competitive funds may be used for signature 
events, planning, visitor services and safety information.
      The managers are aware of work that has been done at 
Glacier National Park to make several boat docks and trails 
accessible to park visitors with disabilities. The managers 
applaud these efforts, and urge the Service to allocate the 
funds necessary to complete similar work at the heavily used 
dock at Lake McDonald Lodge.
      The managers commend the Service for beginning to include 
the role of slavery in its interpretations at Civil War 
Battlefields and Monuments along with other factors such as 
State sovereignty rights, economics including trade and 
tariffs, and broader cultural differences. The managers 
encourage the Service to continue to diversify and expand its 
interpretations so that all of these complex factors can be 
better understood.
      The managers are supportive of efforts by the Service to 
expand diversity, not only in the workforce but also in the 
types of parks that comprise the system and in the outreach 
that is done to attract a broader spectrum of visitors to the 
resources of the Service. The managers are supportive of the 
cultural resources diversity initiative and encourage the 
Service to build on the successes of this effort in support of 
greater progress across all programs. The managers direct the 
Service to have an interdisciplinary team representing 
headquarters and the field prepare a comprehensive report on 
its various diversity initiatives, especially as they affect 
visitation and employment, and report back to the Committees on 
these findings by March 31, 2002. The report should incorporate 
those aspects of the Service's diversity action plan, which are 
targeted at improving performance, as well as the Director's 
plan for communicating internally and externally to the Service 
on the importance of these issues. The report should then be 
updated annually. The Service is encouraged to pursue 
opportunities to extend its outreach efforts in ways that do 
not require increased funding.
      The managers are aware of efforts by the Department of 
the Interior to work with State and local authorities to 
prepare land use plans for the former Bureau of Mines property 
near Fort Snelling, Minnesota. The managers have deferred 
consideration of funding for this project pending conclusion of 
these discussions and presentation to the Committees of a land 
use plan which clarifies the total cost of the project, the 
Federal share of such costs, and more precise details regarding 
the role to be played by the Federal government. The managers 
are hopeful that a formal proposal can be considered prior to 
conference on the fiscal year 2003 bill.

                       United States Park Police

      The conference agreement provides $65,260,000 for the 
United States Park Police as proposed by the House, instead of 
$66,106,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The managers have been concerned for several years about 
fiscal management and accountability of the U.S. Park Police. 
As a result, the Committees directed the National Academy of 
Public Administration (NAPA) to conduct a review of the USPP's 
goals, mission, financial management and accountability as well 
as its staffing, equipment, and other needs. The Academy 
completed its review in August and made extensive 
recommendations on needed improvements.
      The managers direct the Department, in cooperation with 
the National Park Service and the United States Park Police, to 
develop a detailed plan to implement the comprehensive 
recommendations of NAPA described in the August 2001 report. 
The Department should forward its implementation plan to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 
December 15, 2001.

                  National Recreation and Preservation

      The conference agreement provides $66,159,000 for 
National recreation and preservation instead of $51,804,000 as 
proposed by the House and $66,287,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. The agreement provides $549,000 for recreation programs 
as proposed by the House instead of $555,000 as proposed by the 
Senate.
      The agreement provides $10,930,000 for natural programs 
as proposed by the House instead of $11,595,000 as proposed by 
the Senate. Within the amount provided for the Rivers and 
Trails Conservation Assistance program, $250,000 is earmarked 
for work establishing a 740-mile Northern Forest Canoe Trail 
through the States of Vermont, New York, Maine, and New 
Hampshire. The managers urge the program to give priority 
consideration to the Eightmile River, the Washington-Rochambeau 
National Historic Trail and Clark County, Nevada. The managers 
are concerned with National Park Service decisions to continue 
Rivers and Trails Conservation Assistance earmarks as permanent 
increases to base funding. If the National Park Service wishes 
to continue an earmark it should be identified as a continuing 
project in the budget justification.
      The agreement provides $20,769,000 for cultural programs 
instead of $20,019,000 as proposed by the House and $20,451,000 
as proposed by the Senate. Changes to the House level include 
an increase of $250,000 for the Heritage Education Model and 
$500,000 for the newly authorized Underground Railroad grant 
program, of which $250,000 is for a grant to the Underground 
Railroad Coalition of Delaware. This program should be managed 
by the same grants staff as the Underground Railroad technical 
assistance program. This entire amount should be used for 
grants. The $250,000 earmarked in the House report to continue 
development of a model Heritage Education Initiative is in 
cooperation with Northwestern State University of Louisiana. 
Within available funds, the managers direct that $300,000 be 
available for Heritage Preservation, Inc.
      The conference agreement provides $1,718,000 for 
international park affairs as proposed by the House instead of 
$1,732,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The agreement provides $397,000 for environmental 
compliance and review as proposed by the House instead of 
$401,000 as proposed by the Senate. Also provided is $1,582,000 
for grant administration as proposed by the House instead of 
$1,605,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement provides $13,209,000 for 
heritage partnership programs instead of $12,458,000 as 
proposed by the House and $13,368,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. This total includes $13,092,000 for individual heritage 
areas and $117,000 for administrative support. Funds are to be

      The managers reiterate that previously appropriated 
technical assistance money for heritage areas is to be used to 
assist local governments and partner organizations implement 
locally supported projects consistent with the overall plans 
for these congressionally designated areas.
      The conference agreement provides $17,005,000 for

                     URBAN PARK AND RECREATION FUND

      The conference agreement provides $30,000,000 for the 
urban park and recreation fund as proposed by the House instead 
of $20,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. This program is 
funded under the conservation spending initiative.

                       HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND

historic preservation fund instead of $77,000,000 as proposed 
by the House and $74,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
change to the House is a reduction of $2,500,000 for a grant to 
the National Trust for Historic Preservation for its historic 
sites program.
      Included in the total is $30,000,000 to continue the Save 
America's Treasures program. Save America's Treasures funds are

      The managers have not included the $4,972,000 for 
utilities and campground replacement at Acadia National Park 
because the funds cannot be obligated until 2003. However, the 
managers are strongly supportive of this project and intend to 
provide these funds in fiscal year 2003. The managers have 
included $680,000 to initiate planning for a visitor center at 
Arches National Park in Utah. The Service is directed to 
complete this project for $6,800,000 including all design, 
construction and exhibits. The funds provided for a memorial 
commemorating President John Adams are for planning and design, 
in cooperation with non-Federal partners.
      The managers have included $500,000 in planning to 
complete an environmental assessment for proposed visitor 
education centers at Assateague Island National Seashore. The 
managers are aware of proposals for two separate facilities 
that would be constructed in close proximity to one another at 
this location. The park has advocated for a new 7,000 square 
foot Barrier Island Education Center; and the State of 
Maryland, in partnership with the park, has proposed an 11,000 
square foot Coastal Ecology Learning Center. The managers are 
concerned about the potential duplication of efforts in these 
proposed facilities, as well as both the construction and 
operational costs. The preliminary cost estimate for the 
proposed park facility alone is $9,500,000. The managers 
strongly encourage the park and its partners to develop a 
comprehensive program that addresses and prioritizes the 
proposed program requirements and reduces the overall scope and 
cost of the consolidated project. Combining these two efforts 
into one facility will save both Federal and State resources. 
The managers expect the Service to report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to the obligation of 
any funds for construction of this project. This is not a 
commitment to fund this project in the future.
      Although the conference agreement contains no specific 
funding for the Stiltsville project in Biscayne National Park, 
as soon as the Service assumes direct responsibility for the 
structures the managers expect the Service to allocate such 
repair and rehabilitation funds as are necessary to maintain 
properly the structures in a manner consistent with the 
management policy that is adopted.
      The managers have included $775,000 for the Highlands 
Center in the Cape Cod National Seashore to accomplish core 
utility system replacement at the closed North Truro Air Force 
Station. The potable water and fire suppression systems will be 
repaired and the septic facilities will be replaced to prepare 
for the conversion of the station into the Highlands Center. 
The Center is a cooperative effort between the National Park 
Service and other public and private groups and will serve as 
the focal point for environmental sciences, traditional Cape 
Cod culture, and the arts for the public on Cape Cod. The total 
Federal investment for infrastructure improvements will be 
$2,500,000; the balance will be raised through private sources.
      The managers have agreed to provide $1,000,000 towards 
the construction of a music center at Fisher Peak in the Blue 
Ridge Parkway. The managers direct that the $500,000 in 
unobligated balances from the Fisher Peak amphitheater funding, 
appropriated by the Committees in fiscal year 1998, be 
reprogrammed to this project. These funds complete the National 
Park Service commitment to this project.
      Both the House and Senate bills included $6,000,000 for 
stabilization of the Many Glacier Hotel at Glacier National 
Park. The managers have agreed to reallocate $1,500,000 of 
these funds to complete the wastewater treatment system at Lake 
McDonald, the cost of which is higher than original estimates 
due to design modifications required to comply with State and 
Federal treatment requirements. The remaining $4,500,000 
provided for Many Glacier stabilization are sufficient to 
complete the most urgently needed repairs. The managers note 
that this reallocation of funds will have no impact on the 
expected ability of the Hotel to open for the 2002 season, and 
will in no way enhance the concessionaire's possessory interest 
in the Hotel. The managers encourage the Service to continue 
working with interested parties to resolve the question of 
possessory interest, and to address other issues that require 
resolution in order to ensure the restoration and continued 
operation of the Hotel.
      The managers have included $2,000,000 for the Downeast 
Heritage Center in Maine. This completes the Federal commitment 
to this project. The managers have provided $700,000 for 
restoration work at Fort Washington Park in Maryland. The 
managers direct that the balance of the funds to complete this 
project be provided from unobligated 2001 funds available to 
the park.
      Included in the conference report is $4,130,000 to 
complete the Jacob Riis Park bathhouse facilities at Gateway 
NRA in New York. The conference report includes $200,000 for a 
feasibility study at Gateway NRA that should: (1) evaluate the 
demand for a year-round swimming pool at Jacob Riis Park; (2) 
determine the costs of constructing and operating such a 
facility; (3) identify viable funding options for the project 
(including concessions, third party contributions, 
partnerships, leasing opportunities etc.); and (4) assess the 
economic impact of alternative development sites at Riis Park. 
The managers remind the Service that funding for the 
feasibility study is not a commitment for future construction.
      The managers have included $795,000 in planning for 
improvements associated with the upcoming 400th anniversary of 
the settlement at Jamestown, VA. These funds are to be used to 
complete the development concept plan and environmental impact 
statement initiated with funding provided in fiscal year 2001, 
and to conduct planning for the proposed collections storage 
building for the NPS collection and the associated access road. 
None of the funds are to be used to initiate planning 
associated with demolition or rehabilitation of the existing 
visitor center nor with planning for any other new facilities, 
which might be envisioned for Jamestown. The Service should 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by 
April 1, 2002 on the private fundraising effort.
      The managers have included $500,000 for the planning and 
design of a visitor learning center at Great Basin National 
Park, NV. The total Federal share for the center is not to 
exceed $4,200,000, including the planning and design funds.
      The conference report includes $1,500,000 for the 
construction of the Morris Thomson Visitor and Native Cultural 
Center in Alaska. It is the intent of the managers that the 
National Park Service commitment to this project will not 
exceed $10,000,000 including planning, construction, 
furnishings and exhibits.
      The managers have included $600,000 to complete planning 
at Morristown NHP in New Jersey. A total of $3,200,000 will be 
required in fiscal year 2003 to complete the Federal share of 
this project.
      Also included is $350,000 to develop a concept plan for 
the National Center for the American Revolution. This funding 
is not a guarantee of a future Federal commitment, and it is 
the intent of the managers that the Center be mostly funded 
through private sources.
      The $300,000 included for a Niagara River and Gorge 
special resource study is subject to authorization. The 
managers have included $5,000,000 for the Palace of the 
Governors. This completes the Federal commitment to this 
project. The conference agreement provides $3,062,000 to 
complete the Shiloh NMP visitor facility.
      The conference agreement provides $1,000,000 for planning 
the rehabilitation of Moton Field at the Tuskegee Airmen 
National Historic Site. Before making these funds available for 
obligation, the managers direct the Service to consult with the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in order to 
define better the overall scope, cost and timing of the 
project.
      The managers note that the $1,500,000 appropriation for 
preservation of the barracks at the Vancouver National Historic 
Reserve exceeds the currently authorized amount. Further 
appropriations for this project will not be considered unless 
the authorization is increased.
      The managers have included $250,000 to complete the 
Wilson's Creek National Battlefield. This completes federal 
funding for this project.
      The managers direct the National Park Service to contract 
with the National Academy of Public Administration to conduct a 
review of how effectively the Service has implemented the 
recommendations of the Academy's 1998 report on reforms to the 
Service's construction program, including the Denver Service 
Center operations.
      The managers have consolidated the pre-design, 
supplementary services, and planning activities into one 
activity. The managers understand that the National Park 
Service will still track spending in each of these categories 
separately to ensure that the NAPA guidelines are followed. 
This consolidation will not affect the planning requirements of 
projects that will be worked on, but rather, contribute to the 
appropriate accounting of funds in support of projects 
appropriated or scheduled in the five year construction plan, 
while allowing sufficient flexibility to direct funds to the 
appropriate planning category.
      The managers urge the NPS to include sufficient funds in 
the fiscal year 2003 budget request for necessary repairs and 
improvement of facilities at the Wright Brothers National 
Memorial in North Carolina in preparation for the First Flight 
Centennial Celebration.
      Within the amount provided for Cuyahoga National Park, 
the managers have provided $200,000 for a platform and station 
at the south terminus of the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. 
Twenty-four miles of the railroad run through the national park 
and addition of the platform and station will enhance the 
experience of park visitors.

                    LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND

                              (RESCISSION)

      The conference agreement rescinds the contract authority 
provided for fiscal year 2002 by 16 U.S.C. 460l-10a as proposed 
by both the House and the Senate.

                 LAND ACQUISITION AND STATE ASSISTANCE

      The conference agreement provides $274,117,000 for land 
acquisition and State assistance instead of $261,036,000 as 
proposed by the House and $287,036,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Funds should be distributed as follows:

      The managers agree to the following revision to the 
reprogramming guidelines for the National Park Service only. 
Lands shall not be acquired for more than the approved 
appraised value (as addressed in section 301(3) of Public Law 
91-646) except for condemnations and declarations of taking and 
tracts with an appraised value of $500,000 or less, unless such 
acquisitions are submitted to the Committees on Appropriations 
for approval in compliance with established procedures.
      The managers have not provided funding for Fuez 
conservation easements at the Grand Teton NP, as proposed by 
the Senate. Instead, the managers have provided funding for the 
Fuez conservation easements in the Forest Service land 
acquisition account under the Bridger-Teton NF.
      The managers have provided $1,200,000 for the acquisition 
of the Weiler property at Denali NP. The National Park Service 
is directed to use the Bureau of Land Management as the 
appraiser of the property. The appraisal shall take into 
consideration the value of surface and subsurface rights, 
mineral rights, and any other development rights attendant with 
the property in accordance with applicable appraisal standards.
      The funds included for Cumberland Gap NHP (Fern Lake), 
Moccasion Bend NHS, Puuhonua o Honaunau NHP and Vicksburg NMP 
are subject to authorization.
      The conference agreement provides $1,000,000 for the 
Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve. The managers direct 
that this sum, together with any unexpended funds from the 
fiscal year 2001 appropriation for Ebey's Landing, shall first 
be used to complete the purchase of the Pratt Estate 
properties. If any funds remain after the Pratt Estate 
properties have been acquired by the National Park Service, 
they may be used for acquisition of such other properties as 
the Service finds desirable.
      The funds included for Greenbelt Park are subject to a 
non-Federal match.
      The managers direct that $400,000 of the unobligated 
$2,400,000 currently available at the Petroglyph NM be used to 
conduct a boundary survey of that monument. The managers 
understand that this may ultimately mean that additional funds 
are required to complete acquisitions at Petroglyph NM.

                       administrative provisions

      The managers have agreed to language contained in the 
House bill, which allows the Service to convey a leasehold or 
freehold interest in Cuyahoga NP, OH to allow for the 
development of utilities and parking needed by Everett Church 
within the national park.

                    United States Geological Survey

                 surveys, investigations, and research

      The conference agreement provides $914,002,000 for 
surveys, investigations, and research instead of $900,489,000 
as proposed by the House and $892,474,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Within this amount, $25,000,000 is from the 
conservation spending category.
      Changes to the House for the national mapping programs 
include increases of $3,000,000 for Landsat 5 operations, 
$300,000 for the civil applications program, and $300,000 for 
urban dynamics, and a decrease of $996,000 for internet access.
      Changes to the House for geology programs include 
increases of $1,000,000 for volcanic hazard equipment in 
Shemya, Alaska, $1,500,000 for the minerals at risk program, 
$500,000 for coastal erosion in North Carolina, $500,000 for 
land subsidence in Louisiana, $299,000 for Lake Mead studies, 
$450,000 for geologic mapping for Lake Mojave, and $474,000 for 
Yukon Flats geology surveys, and a decrease of $100,000 for the 
advanced seismic network.
      Changes to the House for water resources include 
increases of $200,000 for a Berkley Pit study in Montana, 
$299,000 for the Lake Champlain toxic study, $499,000 for 
Hawaiian water monitoring, $5,000 for the Southern Maryland 
aquifer study, and $195,000 for the Noyes Slough study in 
Alaska, and decreases of $596,000 for the National Water 
Quality Assessment program, and $296,000 for water information 
and delivery.
      The managers concur with the House direction to contract 
with the National Academy of Sciences to examine water 
resources research funded by all Federal agencies and by 
significant non-Federal organizations. Based on information 
that the managers have received, it appears that water 
resources research is not well coordinated. The managers 
therefore direct that the Academy primarily consider the level 
and allocation of resources that are currently deployed in 
water research programs, both Federal and non-Federal, and 
provide recommendations for a national research program that 
maximizes the efficiency and effectiveness of existing 
programs. While the primary focus of this study deals with the 
existing research agenda, the managers would like an answer to 
the question of whether the Nation is making an adequate level 
of investment in water resources research.
      Increases above the House for biological research include 
$400,000 for the Leetown science center, $300,000 for the 
Columbia environmental research center for pallid sturgeon 
studies, $250,000 for Chesapeake Bay terrapin research, 
$500,000 for a NBII Hawaii node, $180,000 for a Yukon River 
chum salmon study, $500,000 for biological information 
management and delivery, $50,000 for an Atlantic Salmon 
restoration study at the Tunison laboratory, and $748,000 for 
the continuation of the Mark Twain National Forest mining study 
to be accomplished in cooperation with the water resources 
division and the Forest Service.
      Changes to the House for facilities include increases of 
$2,000,000 for phase one of the Leetown research center 
expansion, and $2,250,000 for the Center for Coastal Geology in 
Florida, and decreases of $300,000 for Leetown research center 
design and $898,000 for uncontrollable costs.
      The funding provided for the construction of the Center 
for Coastal Geology in St. Petersburg, Florida is for a 
cooperative effort between the Survey and the St. Petersburg 
Downtown Partnership. The Partnership is providing a two-to-one 
match for the costs of constructing this science facility.

                      Minerals Management Service

                royalty and offshore minerals management

      The conference agreement provides $150,667,000 for 
royalty and offshore minerals management instead of 
$149,867,000 as proposed by the House and $151,933,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.
      Changes to the House for royalty and offshore minerals 
management include increases of $800,000 for the Center for 
Marine Resources, and $800,000 for the Marine Mineral 
Technology Center in Alaska, and a decrease of $800,000 as a 
transfer to the Inspector General for Bureau audits.
      The managers have again provided $1,400,000 to the 
Offshore Technology Research Center to perform research for MMS 
through the cooperative agreement dated June 18, 1999.
      The managers have agreed to the Senate proposed language 
for the royalty-in-kind program instead of the House language. 
The House language requiring that revenues be equal to or 
greater than royalty-in-value as determined by the regulations 
of March 15, 2000 has been dropped.

                           oil spill research

      The conference agreement provides $6,105,000 for oil 
spill research as proposed by the House instead of $6,118,000 
as proposed by the Senate.

          Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement

                       regulation and technology

      The conference agreement provides $102,800,000 for 
regulation and technology instead of $102,900,000 as proposed 
by the House and $102,144,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
Funding for the activities should follow the House 
recommendation except that the conference agreement reduces 
executive direction funding by $100,000 as proposed by the 
Senate; this transfers funds for external audits to the 
Inspector General's office. The Senate proposal to include 
$98,000 for fixed costs is not included. An additional $275,000 
is estimated to be available for use from performance bond 
forfeitures.

                    abandoned mine reclamation fund

      The conference agreement provides $203,455,000 for the 
abandoned mine reclamation fund instead of $203,554,000 as 
proposed by the House and $203,171,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Funding for the activities should follow the House 
recommendation except that the conference agreement reduces 
executive direction funding by $99,000 as proposed by the 
Senate; this transfers funds for external audits to the 
Inspector General's office. The Senate proposal to include 
$57,000 for fixed costs is not included. The managers have also 
included the House proposed bill language for minimum program 
States and the Senate proposed bill language continuing 
language carried in previous years dealing with certain aspects 
of the State of Maryland program.

                        Bureau of Indian Affairs

                      operation of indian programs

      The conference agreement provides $1,799,809,000 for the 
operation of Indian programs instead of $1,790,781,000 as 
proposed by the House and $1,804,322,000 as proposed by the 
Senate.
      There is a decrease below the House for tribal priority 
allocations of $1,675,000 for self-governance compacts.
      Changes to the House level for other recurring programs 
include increases of $2,000,000 for tribally controlled 
community colleges, $500,000 for Washington shellfish, and 
$150,000 for the Nez Perce rare species program, and a decrease 
of $45,000 for tribal management and development programs. None 
of the funds for Washington shellfish can be used to support 
access onto private lands by tribal fishers for their harvest 
purposes.
      Increases above the House for non-recurring programs 
include $1,700,000 for the distance learning program in 
Montana, $500,000 for the Cheiron Foundation physician training 
program for rural and underserved education and outreach, 
$500,000 for a rural Alaska fire program, $350,000 for oil and 
gas permitting for the Uintah and Ouray agency, $400,000 for 
the tribal guiding program in Alaska, $326,000 for Cheyenne 
River Sioux prairie management, and $146,000 for Alaska legal 
services.
      The managers believe that the aim of the Cheiron 
Foundation to utilize distance learning technology to train 
physicians' assistants and nurses to serve Native American 
communities is extremely promising. The managers expect the 
Foundation to focus the funding provided from this account on 
the aspects of the project that will bring the most benefit to 
Native American students and tribal communities, while pursuing 
other sources of funding to enhance the overall project.
      There is an increase above the House for central office 
operations of $1,000 for general administration/policy.
      Increases above the House for special programs and pooled 
overhead include $250,000 for enhancements to the Pomo Indian 
exhibits at the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah, California, 
$250,000 for the Alaska market access program, $509,000 for the 
United Tribes Technical College, $250,000 for the United Sioux 
Tribe Development Corporation, $100,000 for the Ponca Tribe 
development plan, $1,200,000 for the Crownpoint Institute, 
$1,000,000 for the Yuut Elitnauviate, and $1,000,000 for an 
Alaska native aviation training program. The Bureau is directed 
to report to the Committees regularly regarding the expenditure 
of the funds provided for the native aviation training program 
and development of the program, including the partners 
involved, the number of pilots to be trained, out-year 
financing alternatives and other pertinent information.
      The managers are concerned that the Bureau has shown 
little progress in addressing the land issues of the Canoncito 
Band of Navajos. The managers direct the Bureau to accelerate 
its efforts to open, at least, a part time office at Canoncito, 
New Mexico.

                              construction

      The conference agreement provides $357,132,000 for 
construction as proposed by the House instead of $360,132,000 
as proposed by the Senate. The managers have not provided 
$3,000,000 for the tribal school construction demonstration 
program as proposed by the Senate. The managers support the 
goal of this demonstration program and have been approached by 
a number of tribes regarding additional funding following the 
demonstration's success in removing schools from the BIA 
priority list. While budgetary constraints have forced the 
managers to adopt the House proposal, the managers recommend 
that the Bureau of Indian Affairs continue the demonstration 
project as part of the President's fiscal year 2003 budget 
request.

 indian land and water claim settlements and miscellaneous payments to 
                                indians

      The conference agreement provides $60,949,000 for Indian 
land and water claim settlements and miscellaneous payments to 
Indians as proposed by the House and the Senate.

                 indian guaranteed loan program account

      The conference agreement provides $4,986,000 for the 
Indian guaranteed loan program as proposed by the House and the 
Senate.

                          Departmental Offices

                            insular affairs

                       assistance to territories

      The conference agreement provides $78,950,000 for 
assistance to territories instead of $72,289,000 as proposed by 
the House and $76,450,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
managers have agreed to Compact impact assistance funding 
increases above the levels proposed by the House of $4,000,000 
for Hawaii and $1,000,000 each for Guam and the Commonwealth of 
the Northern Mariana Islands. The managers acknowledge the May 
30, 2001, letter and report by the Secretary of the Interior 
concerning compact impact and therefore the Administration is 
encouraged to see that negotiations on the continuation of the 
Compacts are concluded in a timely fashion and to provide for 
future compact impact payments out of the available mandatory 
compact payments. The managers agree that the Secretary should 
ensure that representatives of Hawaii are consulted during the 
upcoming Compact renegotiations process so the impact to Hawaii 
of migrating citizens from the freely associated states is 
appropriately considered. The conference agreement also 
includes the $200,000 for a utility privatization study in the 
U.S. Virgin Islands as proposed by the House, and the full 
funding level and bill language proposed by the Senate for the 
U.S. Virgin Islands FEMA loan repayment. The conference 
agreement retains the House proposed bill language concerning 
compensation for American Samoa High Court Justices and the 
House proposed report language concerning potential withholding 
of American Samoa operations funding.

                      compact of free association

      The conference agreement provides $23,245,000 for the 
Compact of Free Association as proposed by both the House and 
the Senate.

                        Departmental Management

                         salaries and expenses

      The conference agreement provides $67,741,000 for 
salaries and expenses for departmental management, instead of 
$55,177,000 as proposed by the House and $67,541,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. Funds should be distributed as follows:

Departmental direction..................................     $12,964,000
Management and coordination.............................      24,905,000
Hearings and appeals....................................       8,559,000
Central services........................................      20,425,000
Bureau of Mines workers compensation/unemployment.......         888,000
                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................      67,741,000

      The managers concur with the concerns expressed in the 
Senate report regarding the capability, capacity, accuracy and 
security of departmental information systems. The managers are 
particularly concerned about information security weaknesses 
that have been identified by both the Inspector General and the 
General Accounting Office, and believe the Department should 
take immediate steps to address these weaknesses. The most 
efficient and effective means of improving information security 
will likely be through department-wide solutions, but 
individual program managers should also work in conjunction 
with the Department's Chief Information Officer to develop 
short and long term plans to address vulnerabilities that have 
been identified. Program managers must also be held accountable 
for ensuring that computer security is adequately implemented 
within their areas of responsibility. Methods to establish this 
accountability should include performance reviews, 
administrative sanctions for non-compliance, or adjustments in 
program funding if necessary.
      The managers direct the Department of the Interior to 
study the viability of establishing an Enterprise Management 
Center to facilitate the Department's objective for budget and 
performance integration using financial information technology 
within the bureaus. As part of the review, the Department 
should consider which bureaus might benefit from being part of 
an initial pilot project. The managers expect this report to be 
forwarded to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
by March 1, 2002.
      The managers note that they have received numerous budget 
requests and reprogramming requests from the Federal land 
management agencies to purchase updated wireless communication 
infrastructure. In light of the Federal Communication 
Commission's ongoing review of spectrum allocations for 
wireless technologies, and the Government Accounting Office's 
current compilation of information for reports to Congress on 
this subject, the managers are concerned that substantial 
investments in wireless technologies may become obsolete due to 
imminent policy decisions regarding spectrum reallocation. The 
managers urge the agencies, whenever possible, to purchase 
equipment that can be reprogrammed to meet future spectrum 
allocations, and to purchase equipment that does not interfere 
with current emergency radio and GPS based systems.

                        Office of the Solicitor

                         salaries and expenses

      The conference agreement provides $45,000,000 for 
salaries and expenses of the Office of the Solicitor as 
proposed by the House instead of $44,074,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Funds should be distributed as follows:

Legal services..........................................     $37,276,000
General administration..................................       7,724,000
                    --------------------------------------------------------

                      Office of Inspector General

                         salaries and expenses

      The conference agreement provides $34,302,000 as proposed 
by the Senate instead of $30,490,000 as proposed by the House. 
Funds should be distributed as follows:

Audit...................................................     $18,680,000
Investigations..........................................       6,763,000
Policy & Management.....................................       7,402,000

             Office of Special Trustee for American Indians

                         FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

      The conference agreement provides $99,224,000 for Federal 
trust programs as proposed by the House and Senate.
      The managers wish to clarify the language included in the 
House report with respect to funding for an historical 
accounting. The managers note that both the House and Senate 
have provided the funds requested by the Administration for an 
historical accounting. However, the managers remain very 
concerned about the costs associated with such an accounting. 
Therefore, these funds may not be allocated prior to the report 
requested by the Committees detailing the methods and costs 
associated with an historical accounting.
      The managers reiterate the position that they will not 
appropriate hundreds of millions of dollars for an historical 
accounting that provides funds for a protracted reconciliation 
process whose outcome is unlikely to be successful. If the 
Department, working with the plaintiffs and the Court, cannot 
find a cost effective method for an historical accounting, the 
Congress may have to consider a legislative remedy to resolve 
this and other litigation related issues.

                       INDIAN LAND CONSOLIDATION

      The conference agreement provides $10,980,000 for Indian 
land consolidation programs as proposed by the House and the 
Senate.

           Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration

                NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT FUND

      The conference agreement provides $5,497,000 for the 
natural resource damage assessment fund as proposed by the 
House instead of $5,872,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
managers agree that, to the extent a national data management 
system is needed, funding for such a system should be addressed 
within the context of the fiscal year 2003 budget.

             General Provisions, Department of the Interior

      The conference agreement includes sections 101, 103 
through 106, and 108 through 111, which were identical in both 
the House and the Senate bills.
      The conference agreement includes sections 113, 115, 116, 
118, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, and 126, which contained 
identical text in both the House and Senate bills, but the 
section numbers were different in the Senate bill.
      Section 102 retains the text of section 102 as proposed 
by the Senate. Section 102 as proposed by the House had 
identical language as the Senate except for a grammatical 
difference of not spelling out ``thirty days''.
      Section 107 retains the text of Senate section 107, which 
prohibits the Department of the Interior from using funds to 
conduct offshore preleasing, leasing and related activities in 
those areas under the June 12, 1998, moratorium. House section 
107 had identical language except for omitting the term 
``preleasing''.
      Section 112 retains the language of House section 112 
that prohibits the National Park Service from developing a 
reduced entrance fee program to accommodate non-local travel 
through a unit of the Park system. The Senate had no similar 
provision.
      Section 114 modifies language proposed by the House and 
by the Senate (in section 113 of the Senate bill) dealing with 
grazing on BLM lands. The modification extends traditional 
grazing use on Federal lands managed by the National Park 
Service at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area in eastern 
Washington.
      Section 117 retains the language of House section 117 
continuing a provision carried in previous years placing a 
limitation on establishment of a Kankakee NWR in Indiana and 
Illinois that is inconsistent with the U.S. Army Corp of 
Engineers' efforts to control flooding and siltation. The 
Senate had no similar provision. The managers understand that 
this issue will be resolved shortly and this provision will not 
be carried in future years.
      Section 119 retains the text of House section 119, which 
provides for the protection of lands at Huron Cemetery, KS. 
Section 117 as proposed by the Senate has identical text, with 
the exception of a difference in the use of punctuation.
      Section 120 retains the text of section 120 as proposed 
by the House which continues a provision carried last year 
prohibiting the study or implementation of a plan to drain Lake 
Powell, or to reduce the water below that required to operate 
Glen Canyon Dam. The Senate had no similar provision.
      Section 127 retains the text of section 124 as proposed 
by the Senate, which authorizes the Secretary of the Interior 
to use helicopters or motor vehicles to capture and transport 
horses and burros at the Sheldon and Hart NWRs. The House had 
no similar provision.
      Section 128 modifies the text of section 126 as proposed 
by the Senate clarifying that the lands taken into trust for 
the Lytton Rancheria of California are still subject to all of 
the provisions of Public Law 100-497 and, in particular with 
respect to Class III gaming, the compact provisions of section 
2710(d) or any relevant Class III gaming procedures. The 
managers further recognize that nothing in section 819 of 
Public Law 106-568 should be construed as permitting off 
reservation gaming by Indian tribes except in compliance with 
all relevant provisions of Public Law 100-497.
      Section 129 retains the text of section 127 as proposed 
by the Senate, which renames Moore's Landing at the Cape Romain 
NWR in South Carolina as ``Garris Landing.'' The House had no 
similar provision.
      Section 130 makes technical modifications to language 
proposed by the Senate in section 130 regarding cruise ship 
entries at Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.
      Section 131 retains the text of Senate section 131, which 
prevents the use of funds for the transfer of land on South Fox 
Island, Michigan without Congressional approval. The House had 
no similar provision. This section allows the Department of the 
Interior to continue working on processes pursuant to NEPA, 
including preparation of an EIS on the proposed land exchange, 
analysis of the State's proposal and a range of alternatives, 
and consideration of public input. Absent a showing that the 
agencies have not complied with NEPA, the managers, at this 
time, do not intend to include this or similar restrictions 
next year. This language affects current regulatory and legal 
processes, which are sufficient to protect the environment and 
the public's interests, by unnecessarily preventing the U.S. 
Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service from 
releasing a record of decision on the proposed land exchange 
until Congress passes a law authorizing the exchange.
      Section 132 includes language, agreed to in previous 
years, authorizing the transfer of Federal land acquisition 
funds for Brandywine Battlefield, Mississippi National River 
and Recreational Area, Shenandoah Valley National Historic 
District, and Ice Age National Scenic Trail.
      Section 133 makes a technical change to Public Law 106-
568 regarding land transfer boundaries.
      Section 134 clarifies that the Secretary of the Interior 
has the authority to determine whether Indian lands constitute 
a reservation. Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
permit gaming on the lands described in section 123 of Public 
Law 106-291.
      Section 135 makes a technical correction to the Black 
Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National 
Conservation Area Act, Public Law 106-554.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate in section 125 permitting the transfer 
of funds between State grant programs managed by the U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service.
      The conference agreement does not include the text of 
Senate section 128, which prevents the use of funds for mineral 
leasing and related activities in national monuments. This 
issue is addressed in Title III where the House language 
addressing this issue is retained.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the Senate in section 129 that would have expanded 
the special resource study area for Loess Hills in Iowa, or in 
section 132 dealing with the Pechanga Band of Indians, or in 
section 133 regarding Coastal Impact Assistance.

                       TITLE II--RELATED AGENCIES

                       Department of Agriculture

                             Forest Service

                     FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH

      The conference agreement provides $241,304,000 for forest 
and rangeland research instead of $236,979,000 as proposed by 
the House and $242,822,000 as proposed by the Senate. Changes 
from the House bill include $475,000 for the Forest Products 
Lab lumber salvage research, WI, $500,000 for the Center for 
Bottomlands research, MS, $175,000 for applied research in the 
hardwood region of Pennsylvania and nearby areas, and 
$4,000,000 for Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA). The 
conference agreement does not include the House proposed 
increase of $1,250,000 above the request for FIA and the 
managers agree that the Forest Service should not follow the 
House report instructions concerning the FIA program under this 
heading or under the national forest system heading. The 
conference agreement does not include the Senate proposal to 
add funds for fixed costs but it does include the Senate 
proposed general reduction below the House of $175,000. The 
conference agreement includes the House proposed increases for 
Bent Creek, NC, urban forestry research at Syracuse, NY, and 
Davis, CA, and Coweeta watershed research, NC. The conference 
agreement provides that the Northeastern States Research 
Cooperative, as authorized in Public Law 105-185, receive 
$2,000,000, $600,000 above the request. Of this amount, 
$1,000,000 should go to ecosystem research at the Hubbard Brook 
Project of the Forest Service Northeastern research station, 
NH, and $1,000,000 should go to the Vermont George Aiken School 
of Natural Resources for collaborative research with Forest 
Service scientists and other cooperators on economic 
development, forest management, and forest product research. 
The managers direct the Forest Service to maintain the research 
related presence at the former Intermountain Research Station 
at, or above, the current level, including the position of 
Assistant Station Director.

                       STATE AND PRIVATE FORESTRY

      The conference agreement provides $291,221,000 for State 
and private forestry instead of $277,771,000 as proposed by the 
House and $287,331,000 as proposed by the Senate. These funds 
include $101,000,000 within the conservation spending category 
for forest legacy, and urban and community forestry as proposed 
by the Senate instead of $104,000,000 as proposed by the House.
      The conference agreement provides $43,304,000 for Federal 
lands forest health management as proposed by the House, 
$25,000,000 for cooperative lands forest health management as 
proposed by the Senate, $25,310,000 for State fire assistance 
as proposed by the House, and $5,053,000 for volunteer fire 
assistance as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The 
conference agreement also includes additional funds for State 
fire and volunteer fire assistance as part of the national fire 
plan funding within the wildland fire management account.
      The conference agreement includes $33,171,000 for forest 
stewardship instead of $32,941,000 as proposed by the House and 
$33,268,000 as proposed by the Senate. The only change from the 
House proposal for forest stewardship is the addition of 
$230,000 for the Chesapeake Bay program as proposed by the 
Senate. The conference agreement also includes $3,000,000 for 
the stewardship incentives program instead of $8,000,000 as 
proposed by the House. This allocation is not derived from the 
conservation spending category as proposed by the House. The 
managers direct the Forest Service to target the stewardship 
incentives program funds for non-Federal forestlands impacted 
by, or at immediate risk from, major forest pests such as gypsy 
moth and the southern pine beetle. The managers intend the 
stewardship incentives program to be administered by the Forest 
Service with cost-share payments to landowners to be provided 
by the State foresters or an equivalent State official.
      The conference agreement includes $65,000,000 for the 
forest legacy program as proposed by the Senate instead of 
$60,000,000 as proposed by the House. This allocation is 
derived from the conservation spending category. The conference 
agreement provides specific funding levels for high priority 
projects and also provides $22,135,000 for the Forest Service 
to allocate to other projects and to cover the costs of Forest 
Service technical assistance, program administration, and State 
needs assessments and planning. The conference agreement has 
modified bill language proposed by the House and the Senate 
concerning approval of the Forest Service project selection. 
The conference agreement now requires the Forest Service to 
notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in 
advance of undertaking specific forest legacy projects. The 
managers note the recent revision to the Puerto Rico forest 
legacy program standards and accordingly direct the Forest 
Service not to follow the House direction concerning this 
program in Puerto Rico. The conference agreement includes the 
following distribution of funds for the forest legacy program:

    Total Forest Legacy.................................      65,000,000

      The conference agreement includes $36,000,000 for the 
urban and community forestry program as proposed by both the 
House and the Senate. This allocation is derived from the 
conservation spending category. The managers agree to the House 
proposal for this activity plus $50,000 for the West Virginia 
partnership coordinator, $350,000 for the Chicago, IL 
wilderness program, and $200,000 for the Cook County forest 
preserve, IL. The managers agree to the Senate proposed 
$600,000 general decrease. The managers are aware of 
Treepeople's proposed Center for Community Forestry in Los 
Angeles, CA, and its value as a national resource. The managers 
encourage the Forest Service to consider supporting this 
important urban forestry program. The managers encourage the 
Forest Service to participate in developing living memorials 
using trees, that will recognize the tragic losses that 
occurred on September 11, 2001 in New York City, the Pentagon 
area, and southwest Pennsylvania.
      The conference agreement includes the following

        Total Economic Action Programs..................      35,680,000

      The conference agreement includes the bill language 
proposed by the Senate concerning a direct lump sum payment to 
the Kake Tribal Corporation, AK, but the funding total is 
$4,500,000. The managers understand that this is the final year 
of funding for kilns in Alaska. The Forest Service shall follow 
Senate instructions concerning the distribution of funds for 
the Ketchikan public utilities right-of-way clearing project. 
The managers have provided $500,000 for the Tahoe Regional 
Planning Authority and the South Lake Tahoe public utility to 
conduct the study of MTBE contamination authorized in the Lake 
Tahoe Restoration Act. The managers stress that subsequent 
funding to remedy this MTBE problem is not authorized by that 
Act and must come from sources other than Interior and related 
agencies appropriations acts, such as within the Environmental 
Protection Agency funding. The Cradle of Forestry conservation 
education funds include $100,000 for activities at the Cradle 
of Forestry in America in the Pisgah National Forest and 
$150,000 for the Education and Research Consortium of North 
Carolina to continue its cooperative environmental education 
activities with the Cradle of Forestry in the Pisgah National 
Forest.
      The conference agreement includes $9,425,000 for Pacific 
Northwest Assistance instead of $9,200,000 as proposed by the 
House and $9,625,000 as proposed by the Senate. This funding 
includes House-proposed allocations plus an additional $225,000 
for the base program. The conference agreement includes 
$5,015,000 for forest resource information and analysis as 
proposed by the Senate; the Forest Service should follow Senate 
directions concerning this program. The conference agreement 
also includes $5,263,000 for the international forestry 
program.

                         national forest system

      The conference agreement provides $1,331,439,000 for the 
National forest system instead of $1,320,445,000 as proposed by 
the House and $1,324,491,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funds 
should be distributed as follows:

Land management planning................................     $70,358,000
Inventory and monitoring................................     173,266,000
Recreation, heritage & wilderness.......................     245,500,000
Wildlife & fish habitat management......................     131,847,000
Grazing management......................................      34,775,000

Vegetation & watershed management.......................     190,113,000
Minerals and geology management.........................      48,956,000
Landownership management................................      88,434,000
Law enforcement operations..............................      79,000,000
Valles Caldera National Preserve, NM....................       2,800,000
                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................   1,331,439,000

      The following discussion describes funding changes from 
the House passed bill. The inventory and monitoring activity 
does not include the funding for the Lake Tahoe basin watershed 
assessment. The wildlife and fish habitat management activity 
does not include any funds, as proposed by the Senate, for the 
State of Alaska to conduct monitoring on the Tongass National 
Forest. The recreation, heritage and wilderness activity has a 
general program increase of $3,500,000 and it does not include 
a special allocation for the fee demo program revolving 
account, although this could be pursued at agency discretion. 
Funds for national scenic trails operations and Pacific Crest 
Trail maintenance are not included in the recreation activity 
but have been transferred to the capital improvement and 
maintenance appropriation account. Wildlife and fish habitat 
management includes $200,000 for work on the Batten Kill River, 
VT as proposed by the Senate and a general program reduction of 
$400,000. The grazing management activity is funded at the 
Senate proposed level. Changes from the House in the vegetation 
and watershed management activity include, for the Lake Tahoe 
basin, increases of $150,000 for watershed improvement 
activities, $400,000 for adaptive management, and $450,000 for 
the management of urban lots. The managers allow the Forest 
Service, upon notification of the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations, to reprogram national forest system funds 
within the Lake Tahoe basin.
      The conference agreement also includes $200,000 for 
Dakota Prairie grasslands weed control. The Forest Service 
should maintain the noxious weed program at the Okanogan 
National Forest, WA, at $300,000 as in fiscal year 2001. The 
managers revise the House direction concerning the full time 
lands team working on the Pacific Crest Trail to direct the 
full time team to continue its functions but allow work on 
other high priority land projects as well as the Pacific Crest 
Trail. Funding for the law enforcement activity includes a 
general increase of $2,000,000. The managers have not agreed to 
the Senate proposal to provide $200,000 for the Southwest 
strategy. The managers direct the report required by both the 
House and the Senate concerning the budget formulation and 
execution system be due March 15, 2002.
      The managers direct the Forest Service, in their 
completion of the Chugach National Forest and land resource 
management plan, to analyze the impact that restrictions 
proposed within the plan regarding mechanical fuel treatments 
and forest access will have on the level of prescribed burning 
and the implementation of the national fire plan on the Chugach 
National Forest. The managers direct that this analysis be 
completed before the release of the Chugach forest plan and 
that it shall be included in the plan.
      The managers understand that the budget request for land 
management planning included $2,500,000 for the Chippewa and 
Superior National Forests, MN, to continue work on forest 
plans. The managers expect such funds shall be used to continue 
work in an expeditious manner.
      Funding for the newly established Valles Caldera National 
Preserve, NM, is increased by $1,789,000 above the House level; 
much of this increase is for one-time infrastructure 
improvements to facilitate public access to this unique part of 
the national forest system. The managers expect the Valles 
Caldera directors to use these funds efficiently; they should 
begin the revenue generating activities authorized for this 
area and submit to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations a plan and schedule, including cost estimates, 
for its management that is consistent with National funding 
priorities. The conference agreement does not include the 
general reduction to the national forest system account adopted 
in House floor action.
      The managers have revised House report language 
concerning the management of urban lots in the Lake Tahoe 
basin. The managers note that the Forest Service faces 
significant challenges in order to manage and care for urban 
properties. The intensive effort required for management of 
these properties must be evaluated in light of the need for the 
agency to manage the large portions of the basin under its 
jurisdiction. The managers request that the Forest Service 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no 
later than October 1, 2003 on the adaptive management practices 
that are suitable for urban lots acquired under the Santini-
Burton program in the Lake Tahoe basin, and make 
recommendations as to those practices that are most effective 
in meeting the goals of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act (P.L. 
106-506). The managers expect that this analysis will consider 
the role and function of urban lots relative to water quality 
and watershed protection, biological diversity, recreation, 
public access, and forest vegetation management for wildfire 
control. The managers expect the Forest Service and partners in 
the basin to evaluate alternatives to continued urban lot 
purchases and to develop alternative methods of managing 
Federal urban lots, and to implement monitoring and research 
regarding the function that the lots play in supporting 
ecological integrity in the basin.

                        wildland fire management

      The conference agreement provides $1,560,349,000 for 
wildland fire management instead of $1,402,305,000 as proposed 
by the House and $1,280,594,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
managers note that this funding total includes $346,000,000 in 
contingent emergency appropriations instead of $165,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate and no emergency funding proposed by the 
House, and that $200,000,000 is to pay back emergency wildfire 
expenditures of fiscal year 2001. This emergency funding should 
be used to repay sums previously advanced for fiscal year 2001 
wildfire emergencies as well as to fund various components of 
the national fire plan as discussed below.
      The managers believe that the full, integrated national 
fire plan effort needs to be sustained in future years in order 
to reduce the risks of catastrophic fire in many areas of the 
Nation. The managers note that the Administration, working 
along with governors and local communities, have submitted a 
framework for a ten-year national fire plan. However, after 
reviewing the plan, the managers are concerned that the plan 
does not lay-out clear funding requirements for various aspects 
of this important endeavor. Therefore, the managers direct the 
Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to provide to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by March 15, 
2002, an updated fire plan that includes detailed schedules of 
activities and funding requirements. The managers understand 
that funding requirements for wildfire activities include 
considerable year-to-year uncertainty depending on weather and 
fire circumstances and therefore the managers view the funding 
requirements for the national fire plan as being an iterative 
process, which requires annual updates. The managers direct the 
Departments of the Interior and Agriculture to continue to work 
together to formulate complementary budget requests that 
reflect the same principles and a similar budget organization 
and submit a cross-cutting budget request to the Committees, 
which covers all federal wildfire responsibilities. The 
managers expect the Forest Service to emphasize the use of 
cooperative agreements and grants to a wide-range of interests 
to help meet the national fire plan goals and objectives on all 
lands, including information compilation and analysis, public 
education, and applied research. In addition, the managers 
expect the agencies to seek the advice of governors, and local 
and tribal government representatives in setting priorities for 
fuels treatments, burned area rehabilitation, and public 
outreach and education.
Wildfire preparedness
      The conference agreement includes $622,618,000 for 
preparedness as proposed by the Senate instead of $616,618,000 
as proposed by the House. The $6,000,000 in fire technology 
development included within the Senate proposal for 
preparedness has been transferred to the other fire operations 
activity and base funding for preparedness has been increased 
accordingly. The managers reiterate the House direction 
concerning the need for completed fire plans for all forest 
service units and the managers direct that a schedule for this 
implementation be included in the next budget request. The 
managers also remain concerned about the variation in methods 
by which the departments calculate wildfire fighting readiness 
and how the departments plan their distribution of firefighting 
resources to attain efficiency. The managers direct the 
Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to develop and 
implement a coordinated and common system for calculating 
readiness which includes provisions for working with the shared 
fire fighting resources of the States and other cooperators and 
considers values of various resources on both Federal and other 
lands.
Wildfire suppression operations
      The conference agreement includes $521,321,000 for 
wildfire suppression activities instead of $321,321,000 
proposed by both the House and Senate. This includes 
$255,321,000 for non-emergency wildfire suppression activities 
instead of $321,321,000 proposed by the House and $221,321,000 
as proposed by the Senate. The agreement also includes 
$266,000,000 in emergency wildfire suppression funding instead 
of no emergency funding proposed by the House and $100,000,000 
as proposed by the Senate. The managers direct the Forest 
Service to use $200,000,000 in emergency contingency funding to 
repay funds advanced for emergency wildfire suppression 
activities in fiscal year 2001 from other activities, trust 
funds, and other appropriation accounts.
      The managers are very concerned about fire fighter safety 
issues in light of the tragic Thirty Mile fire in northern 
Washington. The managers direct the Forest Service to continue 
development and testing of a new fire shelter for the 
protection and safety of fire fighters. The testing shall 
include products being advanced by private industry. The Forest 
Service should submit a report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the results of these tests by 
September 30, 2002.
      The managers are concerned about fire suppression costs 
during major incidents and therefore the Forest Service and the 
Department of the Interior are directed to contract for a 
thorough, independent review of wildfire suppression costs and 
strategies. The Departments should equally share the cost of 
the review and a preliminary report should be issued by May 31, 
2002, and the final report be delivered to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations by September 30, 2002.
      The managers note that even after enactment of this bill 
the KV reforestation trust fund will lack $320,000,000, which 
has not been repaid but which was advanced for emergency 
wildfires during previous years. The Administration should 
strive to repay these funds.
Other wildfire operations
      The conference agreement includes $416,410,000 for other 
fire operation activities instead of $464,366,000 as proposed 
by the House and $336,655,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of 
this allocation, $80,000,000 is designated as emergency funds 
instead of $65,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
allocation of this funding is as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                   Non-emergency     Emergency         Total

      The conference agreement includes $209,010,000 for 
hazardous fuels treatments as proposed by the Senate instead of 
$227,010,000 as proposed by the House. The managers expect the 
Forest Service to ensure that fuels treatments are accomplished 
quickly and in an environmentally sound manner. In conducting 
treatments, local contract personnel are to be used wherever 
practical and efficient. The managers expect the agency to show 
planned and actual funding and accomplishments for fuels 
management activities in future budget requests to the 
Congress. The managers understand that actual amounts may 
differ from planned levels. The managers expect the agencies to 
work closely with States and local communities in implementing 
this program in an effective and efficient manner.
      The managers have not included bill language proposed by 
the Senate, which required that the Forest Service spend no 
less than $125,000,000 on hazardous fuels reduction projects in 
the wildland-urban interface. Instead, the managers expect that 
the Forest Service will expend this amount, as stated in the 
budget request, on projects in the wildland-urban interface. If 
the agency does not attain such levels, it shall promptly 
notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations and 
provide a report explaining why the Forest Service was unable 
to expend such sums. The managers continue to believe that an 
emphasis on fuels reduction work in the wildland-urban 
interface is critical to protecting the safety of rural 
communities.
      The managers have included bill language proposed by the 
Senate providing that up to $15,000,000 in available funds may 
be used on adjacent, non-Federal lands to reduce hazardous 
fuels. The managers have not included bill language proposed by 
the Senate concerning resource management and access issues on 
the Chugach National Forest, AK. Instead, the managers have 
included direction under the national forest system heading 
regarding the upcoming Chugach National Forest plan. The 
conference agreement includes the Senate proposal to provide 
$5,000,000 for authorized Community Forest Restoration Act 
activities. The managers have not provided Forest Service funds 
for the Ecological Research Institute and its activities at Mt. 
Trumbull. This issue is addressed under the Bureau of Land 
Management. The conference agreement also includes hazardous 
fuels funding of $16,000,000 for the Quincy Library group 
activities, CA and $2,000,000 for the Lake Tahoe Basin as 
indicated by the House, which is $500,000 above the request.
      The managers direct the Forest Service to provide 
technical assistance to the Tule River Tribal Reservation with 
its ground fuels mitigation program, the acquisition of 
appropriate fire suppression equipment, and the training of a 
tribal hot-shot crew.
      The conference agreement includes $20,376,000 for 
wildfire management facilities as proposed by the Senate 
instead of $38,000,000 as proposed by the House. Of these 
funds, $10,000,000 are available as emergency funds.
      The conference agreement includes $62,668,000 for 
rehabilitation and restoration activities, including 
$59,000,000 as emergency funds, instead of $81,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and $3,913,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
The managers have provided this funding to continue work on the 
many areas impacted by the year 2000 fires as well as more 
recent events. The managers direct the departments to continue 
to implement the long-term program to manage and supply native 
plant materials for use in various Federal land management 
restoration and rehabilitation needs directed for fiscal year 
2001.
      The conference agreement includes $27,265,000 for 
research and development activities as proposed by the House; 
$5,000,000 of these funds are designated for emergency needs. 
The research and development allocation consolidates funds, 
which were requested within both the preparedness and fire 
operations activities. It is vital that activities related to 
wildfire management and natural resource management have a firm 
scientific basis. To this end, the managers have also included 
$8,000,000 for the joint fire science program as proposed by 
the House instead of $4,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
joint fire program is matched with similar funding within the 
Department of the Interior and this program should continue the 
direction it has taken in fiscal year 2001. The managers have 
designated $1,000,000 within the available, non-emergency 
research and development funds for cooperative research and 
technology development for the University of Montana National 
Center for Landscape Fire Analysis. This replaces designations 
for this project in the House and Senate recommended bills.
      The managers note that devastating windstorms have caused 
great damage on the Superior and Chippewa National Forests, MN. 
The budget request for wildland fire management included 
$8,000,000 to continue efforts to reduce the fuels 
accumulation, continue reforestation, and rehabilitate the 
wilderness and non-wilderness areas of these forests. The 
managers expect the scheduled work to be completed 
expeditiously with these funds.
      The managers have included $56,383,000 for State fire 
assistance instead of $50,383,000 as proposed by both the House 
and the Senate. Of this total, $6,000,000 is designated as 
emergency funds and this total includes $5,000,000 for 
hazardous fuels work in Anchorage, AK instead of $6,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate, and $1,000,000 to continue hazardous 
fuels work in the Kenai Borough, AK, as proposed by the Senate. 
The Forest Service should follow Senate direction concerning 
the distribution of these funds. State fire assistance includes 
support for the FIREWISE program and the use of cost share 
incentives. The conference agreement includes $12,472,000 for 
economic action activities associated with the national fire 
plan as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The managers 
note that the State and private forestry appropriation includes 
funds for the small diameter initiative so the House 
instructions concerning this project need not be followed.

                  capital improvement and maintenance

      The conference agreement provides $546,188,000 for 
capital improvement and maintenance instead of $535,513,000 as 
proposed by the House and $541,286,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. This funding includes $61,000,000 as recommended by the 
Senate for priority deferred maintenance and infrastructure 
improvement within the conservation spending category. The 
conference agreement provides for the following distribution of

      The conference agreement includes bill language proposed 
by the Senate concerning a fiscal year 2001 appropriation for 
improvements at the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration 
Center at Purdue University, IN, and language transferring a 
fiscal year 2001 appropriation for certain recreational 
facilities near the Allegheny National Forest, PA.
      The managers concur with the Senate in providing 
$2,558,000 for the design, planning, and acquisition of 
property to support the efficient collocation of the Mystic 
Ranger District and the Rapid City Research Laboratory in South 
Dakota. The managers have also included $500,000 for the 
Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (HTIRC) at 
Purdue University, IN. The managers emphasize that construction 
of other facilities on the Black Hills National Forest and 
further Federal funding for the Hardwood Tree Improvement and 
Regeneration Center, IN, be proposed in the agency budget 
justification using the normal process for ranking and 
prioritizing facility needs. The Forest Service should submit 
reports detailing all future funding needs for these two 
projects no later than April 15, 2002. The conference agreement 
does not provide $2,000,000 for the Pike's Peak Highway as 
proposed by the Senate due to ongoing litigation directly 
related to the project.
      The managers encourage the Forest Service to establish a 
suitable memorial for the four brave firefighters who lost 
their lives July 10, 2001, at the Thirtymile fire near 
Winthrop, WA.

                            land acquisition

      The conference agreement provides $149,742,000 for land 
acquisition instead of $130,877,000 as proposed by the House 
and $128,877,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funds should be 
distributed as follows:

      The managers direct the Forest Service to continue its 
ongoing work to implement an acquisition program for the 
Pacific Crest Trail as rapidly as possible, utilizing 
assistance from the National Park Service, if desirable. 
Acquisition efforts should focus on properties where access and 
public service needs are the greatest. A progress report should 
be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations no later than March 1, 2002.

         ACQUISITION OF LANDS FOR NATIONAL FORESTS SPECIAL ACTS

      The conference agreement provides $1,069,000 for the 
acquisition of lands for national forests special acts as 
recommended by both the House and the Senate.

            ACQUISITION OF LANDS TO COMPLETE LAND EXCHANGES

      The conference agreement provides an indefinite 
appropriation estimated to be $234,000 for the acquisition of 
lands to complete land exchanges as proposed by both the House 
and the Senate.

                         RANGE BETTERMENT FUND

      The conference agreement provides an indefinite 
appropriation estimated to be $3,290,000 for the range 
betterment fund as proposed by both the House and the Senate.

    GIFTS, DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS FOR FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH

      The conference agreement provides $92,000 for gifts, 
donations and bequests for forest and rangeland research as 
proposed by both the House and the Senate.

        MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL FOREST LANDS FOR SUBSISTENCE USES

      The conference agreement provides $5,488,000 for 
management of national forest system lands for subsistence uses 
in Alaska as proposed by both the House and the Senate.

               ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS, FOREST SERVICE

      The managers have modified bill language proposed by the 
Senate concerning the use of funds for land exchanges and have 
included language recommended by the Senate allowing the Forest 
Service to transfer any funds available to the Forest Service 
to the wildland fire management account during wildfire 
emergencies. The conference agreement also includes the House 
language prohibiting transfers to the USDA working capital 
funds in excess of the fiscal year 2000 level without advance 
approval from the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations. The managers have included the Senate proposed 
funding level for the administrative funds of the National 
Forest Foundation and the managers have included language 
expanding the National Forest Foundation board of directors. 
The conference agreement includes the House proposed bill 
language concerning the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. 
The managers have not included the House proposed bill language 
concerning the use and reimbursement of detailees who are used 
for more than 30 days. Instead, the managers direct the 
Secretary to provide written notification to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations of any employee to be 
detailed or assigned from an agency or office funded by this 
Act to any other agency or office of the Department for more 
than 60 days if the receiving office is not going to reimburse 
the donor office for detailee time in excess of 60 days. Such 
notification should include the name of the employee to be 
detailed, the location of the detail, the estimated length of 
the detail, and a justification for the work to be performed 
during the detail.
      The managers have agreed to revise instructions proposed 
by the House regarding the management of trust funds. In place 
of items numbered two and three in the House report, the 
managers agree to the following: (1) the Forest Service is 
directed to submit a detailed display in all future budget 
justifications of the anticipated program of work for these 
funds; (2) the plan shall provide sufficient detail to explain 
and justify the program of work and expected accomplishments in 
each region; and (3) the plan shall contain a full explanation 
of how planned improvement activities contribute to an 
integrated approach to forest management in conjunction with 
activities planned to be accomplished with discretionary funds.

                          Department of Energy

                         CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY

                               (DEFERRAL)

      The conference agreement provides for the deferral of 
$40,000,000 in previously appropriated funds for the clean coal 
technology program. These funds will become available on 
October 1, 2002, to complete the remaining projects in this 
program.

                 FOSSIL ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement provides $616,490,000 for fossil 
energy research and development instead of $579,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and $604,090,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Of the amount provided, $33,700,000 is derived by 
transfer from previous clean coal technology appropriations as 
proposed by the Senate. The numerical changes described below 
are to the House recommended level.
      There is a decrease of $33,700,000 for the clean coal 
power initiative, which reflects the transfer of previously 
appropriated funds in that amount from the clean coal 
technology account. This transfer should not interfere with the 
timely completion of the remaining, unfinished clean coal 
technology projects. The funding provided for the clean coal 
power initiative in fiscal year 2002 is $150,000,000.
      In the innovations for existing plants activity, there is 
an increase of $1,000,000 for materials research as part of the 
vision 21 program. This increase originally was proposed by the 
Senate under the advanced research account. Guidance on its use 
is provided below.
      In advanced systems, increases include $3,000,000 for ITM 
oxygen research as part of the integrated gasification combined 
cycle program, $3,000,000 for vision 21 advanced combustion 
systems as part of the pressurized fluidized bed program, and 
$3,000,000 for syngas applications in the advanced turbine 
systems program. There is also a decrease of $3,000,000 in 
general program activities in the turbine program.
      In distributed generation, increases include $2,000,000 
for electro-chemical engineering in the advanced research 
program, $2,000,000 for systems development in the molten 
carbonate fuel cells program, and $6,000,000 for the solid-
state energy conversion alliance in the innovative concepts 
program.
      In transportation fuels and chemicals, there is an 
increase of $2,000,000 for the La Porte facility in Texas. The 
managers expect the Department to continue existing projects in 
the ultra clean fuels program. There is also an increase of 
$1,000,000 in the ultra clean fuels program for a clean diesel 
fuel program at the University of Alaska.
      In solid fuels and feedstocks, there is an increase of 
$3,000,000 for advanced separation technology.
      In advanced fuels research, there are increases of 
$500,000 for C-1 chemistry and $1,700,000 in advanced concepts 
for advanced products from coal, and a decrease of $1,000,000 
for advanced separation technology (which is addressed above 
under solid fuels and feedstocks).
      In advanced research, there is an increase of $2,000,000 
in the technology crosscut program for the Computational Center 
of Excellence at the National Energy Technology Laboratory.
      For natural gas technologies, there is an increase of 
$950,000 in exploration and production for coalbed methane 
water filtration research and increases in infrastructure 
programs of $1,000,000 for infrastructure technology and 
$1,000,000 for storage technology. There is also an increase of 
$2,000,000 in emerging processing technology for the coal mine 
methane program.
      For oil technology, there is an increase of $3,000,000 in 
exploration and production for arctic research by the Office of 
Arctic Energy in Alaska and a decrease of $1,000,000 for the 
Oil Prime program in advanced research. There is also a 
decrease of $1,000,000 in the reservoir life extension program 
for reservoir field demonstrations.
      In cooperative research and development, there is an 
increase of $2,240,000 for existing programs. Arctic technology 
research is addressed in the oil technology program above.
      In general plant projects, there is a decrease of 
$900,000 in general plant projects for the National Energy 
Technology Laboratory and an increase of $11,000,000 for the 
first year of a 7-year program to upgrade the infrastructure at 
the National Energy Technology Laboratory. This upgrade is 
discussed in more detail below.
      Finally, there is a decrease of $6,000,000, which 
reflects the one-time use of unobligated prior year funds that 
are available from a coal project that has been substantially 
reworked, with resultant cost savings. This amount should be 
restored to the base program in fiscal year 2003.
      The managers are very supportive of the clean coal power 
initiative and expect the Department to ensure that the program 
is based on competitively awarded government-industry 
partnerships that demonstrate technologies that can strengthen 
electricity reliability for the Nation in an environmentally 
clean manner. The managers agree that industry will be required 
to provide at least 50 percent of each project's cost and that 
all projects must use U.S. coals, which must constitute at 
least 75 percent of the fuel. Further, all co-production 
projects must provide at least half of their output in the form 
of electricity.
      The managers expect the Department to ensure that the 
solicitation for proposals is open to technologies that will: 
(1) reduce emissions of criteria pollutants (including mercury) 
from both existing and new plants, including management of 
plant byproducts; (2) improve the generation efficiencies of 
existing and new plants through such technologies as coal 
gasification; and/or (3) cost-effectively manage carbon 
emissions.
      The managers agree to the following:
      1. The $1,000,000 in the innovations for existing plants 
program for vision 21/materials is to accelerate the 
development of advanced alloys and materials for high 
efficiency, ultra-supercritical steam plants, allowing ultra-
supercritical steam conditions to be used in a variety of fuel 
flexible, highly efficient, zero emission plants.
      2. Available funding balances from contract closeouts may 
be used without reprogramming to minimize disruptions to 
ongoing research and development projects. Follow-on research 
areas consistent with plans and schedules developed in 
cooperation with industry partners, include ultra-supercritical 
materials, computational and fuels focus areas at the National 
Energy Technology Laboratory, gas-to-liquids, advanced research 
on coal-based fuels, solid-state energy conversion alliance 
(planar solid oxide fuel cells), vision 21/oxygen-based 
combustion, Wilsonville testing, power plant sensors and 
controls, carbon dioxide capture and geologic sequestration 
testing, and oil and gas offshore technology.
      3. There is no earmark in the syngas ceramic membrane 
funding for any specific program. The available funds should be 
used to continue all existing projects as equitably as 
possible.
      4. The distribution of the increase above the budget 
request for effective environmental protection programs in the 
oil technology activity should be consistent with the House 
recommendation.
      5. The funding for risk assessment programs under the oil 
technology activity assumes that the risk based data management 
system will continue to be funded at the fiscal year 2001 
level.
      6. Within the funds provided in oil technology for the 
Office of Arctic Energy $1,000,000 is to support oxygen 
transport ceramic membrane research.
      7. The Department should review the fuel flexibility for 
industrial boilers program developed by Pennsylvania State 
University and consider incorporating follow-on work in this 
area into the fiscal year 2003 budget priorities.
      8. The $2,000,000 increase above the budget request for 
distributed generation/vision 21 hybrids, included in both the 
House and Senate recommendations, is for the tubular solid 
oxide fuel cell program.
      9. The increase above the budget request for the solid-
state energy conversion alliance under distributed generation/
innovative concepts is to be added to the base funding for 
planar solid oxide fuel cell programs and is to be used to 
continue existing projects, consistent with program plans 
developed in cooperation with industry partners. The managers 
understand that base funding for this program will need to be 
increased substantially in fiscal year 2003 to keep this 
program on schedule to meet critical program goals.
      10. Of the funds provided for turbine systems, $3,000,000 
is for the industry/university consortium.
      11. The Department should develop a five-year plan 
reorienting the turbine program to support vision 21 and 
focusing on the development of a technology base to increase 
fuel flexibility (including coal) and efficiency as well as 
reliability, availability, and maintainability, with low 
emissions and low life cycle costs. The plan should be 
submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
no later than January 15, 2002.
      12. In the carbon sequestration program, the Department 
should continue and expand International Utility Efficiency 
Partnerships as part of the U.S. Initiative on Joint 
Implementation.
      The conference agreement modifies bill language proposed 
by the Senate earmarking $11,000,000 for planning and design of 
an infrastructure upgrade at the National Energy Technology 
Laboratory. The modification provides land acquisition 
authority, which the managers understand will be used on a 
limited basis. This funding represents the first year of a 7-
year improvement plan for the Laboratory and the managers 
expect the Department to keep this amount in the base budget 
for each of the next 6 years.
      The conference agreement includes bill language proposed 
by the Senate deriving $33,700,000 by transfer from the clean 
coal technology program to offset new budget authority in 
fiscal year 2002. The managers note that this is a one-time 
transfer and this amount will need to be restored to the Fossil 
Energy Research and Development base budget in fiscal year 
2003.
      The conference agreement also modifies language to extend 
the proposal submission period for the Clean Coal Power 
Initiative from 90 days to 150 days and to permit the combining 
of fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003 funds for contract 
awards made in fiscal year 2003.

                      alternative fuels production

                              (rescission)

      The conference agreement provides for the rescission of 
$2,000,000 in unobligated balances from the alternative fuels 
production account as proposed by the Senate instead of no 
rescission as proposed by the House.

                 naval petroleum and oil shale reserves

      The conference agreement provides $17,371,000 for the 
naval petroleum and oil shale reserves as proposed by both the 
House and the Senate.

                      elk hills school lands fund

      The conference agreement provides $36,000,000 to become 
available on October 1, 2002, for the Elk Hills school lands 
fund as proposed by the Senate instead of $36,000,000 to be 
derived by transfer from unobligated balances in the clean coal 
technology account as proposed by the House.

                          energy conservation

      The conference agreement provides $912,805,000 for energy 
conservation instead of $940,805,000 as proposed by the House 
and $870,805,000 as proposed by the Senate. The numerical 
changes described below are to the House recommended level.
      In building technology assistance, there are decreases of 
$19,000,000 for the weatherization assistance program and 
$17,000,000 for State energy conservation grants. There is also 
an increase of $1,000,000 for the energy star program.
      In industries of the future/crosscutting, there is an 
increase of $2,000,000 for the innovations and inventions 
program.
      In transportation programs, there is a general increase 
of $2,000,000 in technology deployment for the clean cities 
program.
      In policy and management, there is an increase of 
$3,000,000 for the regional support offices.
      The managers agree to the following:
      1. The increase in funding for the regional support 
offices is to restore base funding for these important 
entities. The Department should do a better job of using these 
offices to manage programs and projects and should not short-
fund these offices in future budget requests while protecting 
funding for headquarters offices in Washington, DC. Funding 
comparisons (prior year, current year, budget year) and 
activity descriptions for each regional support office should 
be included in the annual budget request beginning in fiscal 
year 2003. The managers encourage the Department to consider 
shifting resources from headquarters to the regional support 
offices.
      2. Consistent with the policy of fuel neutrality, no 
funds are earmarked in the Clean Cities program for increasing 
E-85 fueling capacity. The managers encourage the Department to 
give careful consideration to proposals that would help 
increase such capacity, consistent with the goals of the Clean 
Cities program.
      3. Within the funds provided, the managers understand 
that the Northwest Alliance for Transportation Technologies 
will be funded at a higher level than in fiscal year 2001.
      4. Within the transportation sector hybrid program, the 
Department should continue 3 contracts through completion of 
phase I of the advanced power electronics program and should 
down select to 2 contracts, as planned, prior to funding the 
next phase of the program.
      5. Within the increase provided above the budget request 
for lightweight materials technology in transportation 
programs, the Department should foster research aimed at 
developing lightweight composites for heavy vehicles in 
conjunction with MSE, Inc.'s High Performance Materials Group.
      6. The Department should report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations, within twelve months of the date 
of enactment of this Act, on the technical and economic 
barriers to the use of fuel cells in transportation, portable 
power, stationary, and distributed generation applications. The 
report should include recommendations on program adjustments 
based on an assessment of the technical, economic, and 
infrastructure requirements needed for the commercial use of 
fuel cells for stationary and transportation applications by 
2012. Within six months of the date of enactment of this Act, 
the Department should also provide an interim assessment that 
describes preliminary findings about the need for public and 
private cooperative programs to demonstrate the use of fuel 
cells in commercial scale applications.
      The conference agreement earmarks $275,000,000 for energy 
conservation grant programs instead of $311,000,000 as proposed 
by the House and $251,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within 
the funds provided, $230,000,000 is further earmarked for 
weatherization assistance grants instead of $249,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and $213,000,000 as proposed by the 
Senate, and $45,000,000 is earmarked for State energy 
conservation grants instead of $62,000,000 as proposed by the 
House and $38,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      No statutory language on cost sharing for weatherization 
grants is included in the conference agreement but the managers 
strongly urge the Department to pursue actively such cost 
sharing from State and local governments and other entities. 
Detailed cost-sharing information (and the amount of Federal 
funds provided) should be included for each State or eligible 
entity in the budget submission for fiscal year 2003 and in 
future submissions.
      The conference agreement includes statutory language 
requiring that one-half of the funding made available in fiscal 
year 2002 and thereafter for the energy efficiency science 
initiative be managed by the fossil energy research and 
development program. The managers expect the Department to 
issue a single solicitation for this program that covers both 
energy conservation and fossil energy programs.

                          economic regulation

      The conference agreement provides $1,996,000 for economic 
regulation as proposed by both the House and the Senate.

                      strategic petroleum reserve

      The conference agreement provides $179,009,000 for the 
strategic petroleum reserve as proposed by the House instead of 
$169,009,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement modifies statutory language 
contained in both the House and Senate bills, specifying that 
``not to exceed'' $8,000,000 is for the Northeast Heating Oil 
Reserve. If the full $8,000,000 is not needed, the managers 
encourage the Department to apply any excess funds to the 
Strategic Petroleum Reserve vapor pressure project to remove 
excess heat and gas from the oil in the reserve. Funds for this 
critical project should be continued in the base for each of 
the next 3 years (at least at the $12 million level provided in 
fiscal year 2002) so that it can be completed no later than 
fiscal year 2005.

                   ENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION

      The conference agreement provides $78,499,000 for the 
energy information administration as proposed by the House 
instead of $75,499,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                Department of Health and Human Services

                         Indian Health Service

                         INDIAN HEALTH SERVICES

      The conference agreement provides $2,389,614,000 for 
Indian health services instead of $2,390,014,000 as proposed by 
the House and $2,388,614,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
numerical changes described below are to the House recommended 
level.
      For hospital and health clinic programs there are 
decreases of $500,000 for Joslin diabetes programs and $500,000 
for technology upgrades. For Indian health professions there 
are increases of $50,000 for the InPsych program at the 
University of North Dakota, $50,000 for the InPsych program at 
the University of Montana, and $500,000 for the InMed program 
at the University of North Dakota.
      The managers agree to the following:
      1. The additional contract health services funding 
provided for fiscal year 2002 should be distributed following a 
methodology developed in consultation with the tribes. The 
managers have received expressions of concern from many 
different tribes on this issue and ask that the Service base 
the funding distribution on a methodology that considers the 
needs of all eligible tribes at the same time as addressing 
disparities in funding.
      2. The Service should continue to follow last year's 
direction on the level of need funded methodology and the 
distribution of the Indian health care improvement fund.
      The conference agreement provides the House proposed 
statutory earmarks for contract health services and contract 
support costs. As in past years, there is no specific earmark 
for any individual tribe for contract support costs.
      The managers have not agreed to statutory language 
proposed by the House dealing with certain limitations on 
contract support costs. The managers believe the disparities 
between BIA and IHS in the funding of contract support costs 
should be resolved. While there has been some discussion of 
this issue by the two agencies over the past few years, no 
resolution to these differences has resulted. The managers urge 
the Office of Management and Budget to serve as a coordinator 
for further discussion of the issue with the two agencies, with 
the goal of resolving existing discrepancies. The Office of 
Management and Budget should address this issue as part of the 
fiscal year 2003 budget request.

                        INDIAN HEALTH FACILITIES

      The conference agreement provides $369,487,000 for Indian 
health facilities instead of $369,795,000 as proposed by the 
House and $362,854,000 as proposed by the Senate. The changes 
to the House level are all in the hospital and clinic 
construction category. The managers agree to the following 
distribution of facilities construction funds (excluding 
sanitation facilities):

        Project                                     Conference agreement
Fort Defiance, AZ (hospital and staff quarters).........     $27,827,000
Pinon, AZ (clinic infrastructure).......................       2,600,000
Winnebago, NE (hospital)................................      15,000,000
Red Mesa, AZ (clinic infrastructure)....................       5,000,000
Pawnee, OK (clinic infrastructure)......................       5,000,000
Sisseton, SD (clinic infrastructure)....................       2,333,000
St. Paul and Metlakatla, AK (clinics infrastructure)....       5,500,000
Bethel, AK quarters.....................................       5,000,000
Zuni, NM quarters.......................................       2,000,000
Dental units............................................       1,000,000
Small ambulatory care facilities........................      10,000,000
Joint ventures..........................................       5,000,000
                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................     $86,260,000

      The managers agree to the following:
      1. The funds provided for the Portland Area AMEX program 
should remain in the base in fiscal year 2003 for addressing 
the nationwide need for maintenance funds, and the Service 
should request an increase to the base maintenance funding in 
fiscal year 2003 to enable the Service to keep pace with the 
expanding facilities infrastructure for Federal and tribal 
facilities, including Alaska village-built clinics.
      2. Given the tremendous unmet need for new and 
replacement hospitals and clinics in Indian country, the 
managers urge that, beginning in fiscal year 2003, the 
Department and the Office of Management and Budget establish a 
recurring base budget for hospital and clinic facilities 
construction rather than building from a zero-based budget each 
year. The managers suggest that the base amount for fiscal year 
2003 should be at least $90,000,000 (the fiscal year 2002 level 
plus inflation) and projects should be identified based on the 
established priority list (including hospitals, clinics, staff 
quarters, dental units, small ambulatory care facilities, and 
joint ventures) to total the base funding level.
      3. The Service should use balances available from 
completed construction projects to fund the additional site 
work and infrastructure needs of the Pinon, AZ clinic and, to 
the extent available, to fund additional site work and 
infrastructure at the Red Mesa, AZ clinic.
      4. The Service should continue funding for a new drinking 
water system for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes of the Fort Hall 
reservation in Idaho to the extent such project is ranked 
within the established sanitation facility priority ranking 
system.
      5. Rather than issuing a new solicitation for the small 
ambulatory grant program in fiscal year 2002, the Service 
should fund high priority, unfunded projects from the ranked 
order list generated from the fiscal year 2001 application 
process.
      6. The Service should establish a reasonably low maximum 
funding threshold for the small ambulatory grant program so 
that several projects can be funded under that program each 
fiscal year. The maximum amount should not be construed as the 
amount available for each project, and the managers expect that 
most projects will be funded well below the maximum funding 
threshold.
      7. The Service should ensure, in evaluating joint venture 
proposals, that any needed staff quarters are included in 
tribal construction proposals and that the cost of staff 
quarters construction and all related costs are funded by the 
tribe. Once constructed, staff quarters should be self-
supporting from revenues generated from rental fees. The 
Service should not be responsible for any construction or 
subsequent operating costs for staff quarters that are 
associated with a joint venture.
      The conference agreement includes statutory language that 
modifies the Senate proposed language on the Bethel, AK 
hospital staff quarters construction project. The modification 
permits the use of funds for staff quarters construction for 
sub-regional clinics in the Bethel area. The managers expect 
that this authority will be used on a limited basis only to the 
extent that such sub-regional staff quarters fit within the 
agreed upon overall cost for the Bethel staff quarters project 
and that there is no impact on the effort now underway to 
provide an adequate number of staff quarters at the Bethel 
hospital.
      The conference agreement also includes statutory language 
permitting the Service to accept donated land for the St. Paul, 
AK clinic.

              Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

      The conference agreement provides $15,148,000 for 
salaries and expenses of the Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian 
Relocation as proposed by the House and the Senate.

    Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts 
                              Development

                        PAYMENT TO THE INSTITUTE

      The conference agreement provides $4,490,000 for payment 
to the institute as proposed by the House and the Senate.

                        Smithsonian Institution

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

      The conference agreement provides $399,253,000 for 
salaries and expenses at the Smithsonian Institution instead of 
$396,200,000 as proposed by the House and $401,192,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. Changes to the House proposed funding 
levels for fiscal year 2002 are described below.
      An increase of $1,497,000 is provided for the Smithsonian 
Center for Materials Research and Education. Within this 
amount, program funding for the Center is restored to the 
fiscal year 2001 enacted level and an additional $128,000 is 
included to meet anticipated annual pay costs. The managers 
expect that no decision will be made on an earlier proposal by 
Smithsonian management to eliminate this Center, as well as the 
Conservation Research Center, until the Science Commission has 
conducted a full evaluation of all science programs at the 
Institution and reported their findings to the Committees.
      An increase of $26,000 is provided to the National Zoo 
for the hiring of a curator and preliminary operations and 
maintenance of the permanent Farm Exhibit, which is scheduled 
to open to the public in the spring of 2003.
      An increase of $200,000 is provided for the Smithsonian 
Institution Libraries. This amount was proposed for reduction 
in the fiscal year 2002 budget estimate, but has been included 
by the managers in order to maintain the library at the Museum 
Support Center that supports the Center for Materials Research 
and Education.
      An amount of $7,200,000 is provided within the 
Administration line item to continue the Institution's 
technology initiative. The Senate included $6,000,000 for this 
work. The House included $7,645,000 for this effort, but within 
the line item for Institution-wide Programs. The managers 
expect that the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
will be provided with quarterly reports that detail the 
Institution's progress with this initiative.
      An increase of $58,000 is included to maintain existing 
health clinics as proposed by the Senate.
      An increase of $1,743,000 is included for the Office of 
Protection Services. The budget estimate called for a reduction 
of the guard force in this amount. In light of recent events, 
the managers agree that it would not be appropriate to 
implement this proposal.
      A decrease of $7,645,000 has been taken to the 
Institution-wide Programs line item. This amount was proposed 
by the House to fund costs associated with the technology 
initiative. As stated above, the managers recommend an amount 
of $7,200,000, the budget estimate, for this activity and have 
provided the funds within the Administration line item, which 
includes the Office of Technology.
      A general reduction of $26,000 to the House proposed 
level has been taken to the Administration line item.
      The conference report designates an amount of $37,508,000 
to remain available until expended for the following 
activities: the instrumentation program, collections 
acquisition, exhibition reinstallation, the National Museum of 
the American Indian and the repatriation of skeletal remains 
program. The House proposal included no such designation for 
these activities. The Senate proposal provided $43,713,000 to 
remain available until expended for the activities listed 
above, as well as security funding and institution-wide 
programs.
      The conference report includes bill language proposed by 
both the House and Senate instructing the Smithsonian to adhere 
to the reprogramming procedures described in House Report 105-
163. In addition, the managers direct the Smithsonian to submit 
a quarterly report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations that displays all redirections of Federal funds, 
both above and below the reprogramming threshold, for each 
quarter. By implementing this reporting process, the Committees 
expect to gain a better and more timely understanding of the 
Institution's spending priorities throughout the fiscal year. 
Each of the Bureaus within the Department of the Interior 
currently submits a similar report.

            REPAIR, RESTORATION AND ALTERATION OF FACILITIES

      The conference agreement provides $67,900,000 for repair, 
restoration and alteration of facilities as proposed by the 
House and the Senate.
      The managers direct the Smithsonian to assess its 
facility maintenance program as a result of the National 
Academy of Public Administration's recommendations. The 
Institution should identify the current program, describe the 
desired state, and provide an implementation plan with resource 
and organizational requirements needed to achieve the necessary 
maintenance level. The plan should be reliability based with 
preventive, predictive, proactive and reactive components 
utilizing a computer-based maintenance management system. This 
plan should be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations no later than December 15, 2001.

                              CONSTRUCTION

      The conference agreement provides $30,000,000 for 
construction of the National Museum of the American Indian as 
proposed by the House, instead of $25,000,000 as proposed by 
the Senate.

                        National Gallery of Art

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

      The conference agreement provides $68,967,000 for 
salaries and expenses of the National Gallery of Art as 
proposed by both the House and the Senate.

            REPAIR, RESTORATION AND RENOVATION OF BUILDINGS

      The conference agreement provides $14,220,000 for repair, 
restoration and renovation of buildings as proposed by both the 
House and the Senate.

             John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

                       OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

      The conference agreement provides $15,000,000 for 
operations and maintenance of the Kennedy Center as proposed by 
the House and the Senate.

                              CONSTRUCTION

      The conference agreement provides $19,000,000 for 
construction as proposed by the House and the Senate.

            Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

      The conference agreement provides $7,796,000 for salaries 
and expenses of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for 
Scholars as proposed by the House and the Senate. Funds should 
be distributed as follows:

proposed by both the House and the Senate. The Challenge 
America Arts Fund, a separate appropriation administered by the 
NEA, is funded at $17,000,000, as indicated later in the 
statement of the managers.

                 National Endowment for the Humanities

                       GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION

      The conference agreement provides $108,382,000 for grants 
and administration of the National Endowment for the Humanities 
instead of $107,882,000 as proposed by the House and 
$109,882,000 as proposed by the Senate. Increases above the 
House funding level include $361,000 for Federal/State 
partnerships, $217,000 for preservation and access, $155,000 
for public programs, $145,000 for research programs, and 
$150,000 for education programs. In agreement with the budget 
estimate and the Senate proposal, the administration activity 
is funded at $18,450,000, a reduction of $528,000 from the 
House level. In addition to funds provided in this account, 
further appropriations for the NEH are included in the matching 
grants category below.

                            MATCHING GRANTS

      The conference agreement provides $16,122,000 for 
matching grants instead of $15,622,000 as proposed by the House 
and the Senate. The agreement includes an increase of $500,000 
for regional centers.

                Institute of Museum and Library Services

                       OFFICE OF MUSEUM SERVICES

                       GRANTS AND ADMINISTRATION

      The conference agreement provides $26,899,000 for grants 
and administration of the Office of Museum Services as proposed 
by both the House and the Senate.

                      Challenge America Arts Fund

                        CHALLENGE AMERICA GRANTS

      The conference agreement includes $17,000,000 for 
Challenge America grants as proposed by both the House and the 
Senate. This account is administered by the National Endowment 
for the Arts according to all previously authorized 
requirements and serves to provide additional funding for arts 
education and outreach activities in rural and underserved 
areas.

                        Commission of Fine Arts

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

      The conference agreement provides $1,224,000 for salaries 
and expenses of the Commission of Fine Arts instead of 
$1,274,000 as proposed by the House and $1,174,000 as proposed 
by the Senate. The conference agreement does not include 
$100,000 for the management of a competitive grants program as 
proposed in the budget estimate and proposed by the House. The 
$50,000 increase above the Senate proposed funding level is 
intended to meet the cost of technological improvements, such 
as equipment and the development of a web page, that will 
enable the Commission to have direct communication with the 
public. Given the significant public projects that come before 
the Commission, such as the World War II Memorial, the managers 
believe it is in the public interest to provide better access 
to the Commission's activities and decisions.

               National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs

      The conference agreement provides $7,000,000 for National 
Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs as proposed by both the House 
and the Senate.

               Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

      The conference agreement provides $3,400,000 for salaries 
and expenses of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation 
as proposed by the House instead of $3,310,000 as proposed by 
the Senate.

                  National Capital Planning Commission

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

and expenses of the National Capital Planning Commission as 
proposed by both the House and the Senate.

                United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

                       HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

      The conference agreement provides $36,028,000 for the 
Holocaust Memorial Museum as proposed by the House and the 
Senate.

                             Presidio Trust

                          PRESIDIO TRUST FUND

      The conference agreement provides $23,125,000 for the 
Presidio Trust Fund as proposed by the Senate instead of 
$22,427,000 as proposed by the House.

                     TITLE III--GENERAL PROVISIONS

      The conference agreement includes sections 301, and the 
text of sections 314 through 317, and 320 through 322, which 
were identical in both the House and the Senate bills, although 
section numbers have been changed in some cases in the 
conference agreement.
      The conference agreement includes House sections 302 
through 307, 309, 311, 318, 324, 325, and 330. Identical 
language was proposed by the Senate in sections 303 through 
308, 310, 312, 319, 325, 326, and 332.
      Section 308 retains the text of section 309 as proposed 
by the Senate concerning a pedestrian bridge between New Jersey 
and Ellis Island. The House had similar language in section 
308, but included text carried in last year's law.
      Section 310 retains the text of section 311 as proposed 
by the Senate, which limits payments for contract support costs 
for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service. 
The text of section 310 as proposed by the House is identical 
except for the use of capitalization.
      Section 312 modifies language in section 312 as proposed 
by the House concerning an extension of the recreational fee 
demonstration program. The managers have agreed to a two year 
extension of this program through fiscal year 2004 rather than 
the four year extension recommended by the House. The managers 
have provided this extension to allow the authorizing 
committees with jurisdiction to continue their assessment of 
this program and to provide for a permanent solution to this 
issue. The managers strongly encourage the authorizing 
committees to address this matter forthwith so short-term 
extensions via the appropriations process are no longer 
germane. The managers have also modified the House language by 
deleting subsection (e), which extended the program to certain 
Forest Service special use permits. The managers recommend that 
the authorizing committees examine various options in this 
regard. The managers have retained language proposed by the 
House and contained in Senate recommended section 313 
concerning the use of receipts from this program to construct 
permanent structures when the total cost of the facility 
exceeds $500,000. The managers note that the recreational fee 
demonstration program has generated substantial revenue, which 
has made a major impact on many parks, forests, refuges and 
public land units. By the end of fiscal year 2002, the program 
will have generated $937 million for the four participating 
agencies. The managers continue to believe that a user fee 
program, which focuses the fees directly to local, on-the-
ground improvements, is an essential tool to help fund major 
Federal recreational assets. The managers expect the agencies 
implementing this program to focus on public service, to work 
closely with local communities and the recreational industry, 
and to use the receipts to enhance visitor services and reduce 
the backlog in deferred maintenance.
      Section 317 retains the text of section 318 as proposed 
by the Senate prohibiting the Forest Service from expending or 
obligating appropriations in the Act to complete and issue the 
5-year program under the Forest and Rangeland Renewable 
Resources Planning Act. The House had no similar provision.
      Section 319 retains the text of section 319 as proposed 
by the House prohibiting the use of funds in the Act for GSA 
Telecommunication Centers. The Senate had no similar provision.
      Section 323 retains the text of section 323 as proposed 
by the Senate. The language as proposed by the House in section 
323 differed only in reference to fiscal years.
      Section 326 retains the text of section 326 as proposed 
by the House which gives preference to dislocated workers for 
certain restoration contracts in the Giant Sequoia National 
Monument and the Sequoia National Forest. Section 329 as 
proposed by the Senate consisted of virtually identical text, 
except for language extending the length of authorization.
      Section 327 modifies the text of section 327 as proposed 
by the House which provides that the Secretary of Agriculture 
shall not be considered to be in violation of subparagraph 
6(f)(5)(A) of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources 
Planning Act of 1974 solely because more than fifteen years 
have passed without revision of the plan, including its 
accompanying documents, for a unit of the National Forest 
System. It is the managers' intent that the passage of more 
than 15 years without revision of a plan for a unit of the 
National Forest System shall not, in and of itself, cause a 
violation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (43 
U.S.C. 4332). Instead, the standards at 40 C.F.R. 1502.9(c) and 
project-level NEPA requirements shall govern when a 
supplemental or additional environmental impact statement is 
required. It is the responsibility of the court to determine 
whether the good faith requirement of this section has been met 
and, if not, to order an accelerated schedule for plan 
revision. The managers understand that all plans for units of 
the National Forest System that will be revised during fiscal 
year 2002 will be revised pursuant to current rules (36 C.F.R. 
Part 219 and Part 217). Given the intense interest in the 
Administration's ongoing revision of forest planning rules, the 
managers intend that this section will be in effect for only 
one year. It is the managers' understanding that the 
authorizing Committees must consider legislation regarding this 
issue in the near future. The managers direct the Forest 
Service to provide a detailed report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations by January 31, 2002, describing 
the status and activities regarding each National forest unit 
land management plan. The report shall also include a plan and 
schedule, along with funding needs, to complete the forest plan 
revision process. The Senate had no similar provision.
      Section 328 retains the text of section 328 as proposed 
by the House, which clarifies the requirement for mutually 
significant benefits when the Forest Service conducts 
cooperative agreements. The Senate had no similar provision.
      Section 329 includes a minor technical modification of 
section 329 as proposed by the House concerning the conveyance 
of excess properties by the Forest Service. The Senate had no 
similar provision.
      Section 330 retains the text of section 331 as proposed 
by the House which amends section 323 of the fiscal year 1999 
Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act by extending 
for four years the cooperative agreements authority, thereby 
allowing the Forest Service to enter into cooperative 
agreements with willing Federal, tribal, State, and local 
governments, private and non-profit entities and landowners to 
implement watershed restoration agreements both on and near 
National forest system lands. Section 331 as proposed by the 
Senate was composed of similar language, but differed in length 
of authorization.
      Section 331 retains the text of section 333 as proposed 
by the House that prohibits oil, natural gas and mining related 
activities within current National Monument boundaries. The 
Senate proposed similar language in section 128 under General 
Provisions, Department of the Interior.
      Section 332 modifies the text of section 327 as proposed 
by the Senate expanding the number of stewardship end result 
contracts available to the Forest Service. The modified 
language extends the duration of the contracts by two years. 
The House had no similar provision.
      Section 333 retains the text of section 328 as proposed 
by the Senate requiring that regulations and policies issued by 
the Departments of the Interior or Agriculture regarding cost 
recovery for processing authorizations adhere and incorporate a 
specific principle arising from Office of Management and Budget 
Circular, A-25. The House had no similar provision.
      Section 334 modifies section 330 as proposed by the 
Senate regarding a cabin within the boundary of the Custer 
National Forest. After considering the special and unique 
circumstances surrounding the use of this facility, the 
managers agree to a provision that requires issuance of a 
special use permit to Montana State University--Billings for 
use of this cabin for a 20-year term, with a proviso for a 
review of the cabin's use after 10 years. The managers expect 
the agency to administer the permit in a manner that allows the 
University to utilize the cabin's location for suitable 
educational programs while recognizing the ecological and 
cultural values associated with the cabin's location and 
historical significance. The permit shall restrict use of the 
cabin to educational and scientific activities overseen by the 
University and necessary maintenance related to these 
activities consistent with the cabin's location. The managers 
expect the Forest Service to oversee the special use permit 
under current standards to ensure the cabin's use is consistent 
with this provision. The managers note that the issuance of 
this special use permit to bolster educational programs, while 
providing an opportunity to further enhance resource management 
in the area, shall not be deemed to set precedent for other 
structures within the national forest system.
      Section 336 retains the text of section 334 as proposed 
by the Senate, which modifies the Steel Loan Guarantee program. 
The House had no similar provision.
      The conference agreement does not include language as 
proposed by the Senate in section 302 concerning the leasing of 
oil and natural gas on public lands within the Shawnee National 
Forest, Illinois, or in section 324 prohibiting the use of 
funds for the Kyoto Protocol, or in section 333 which exempted 
residents within the boundaries of the White Mountain National 
Forest from the recreation fee program. The House had no 
similar provisions.
      The conference agreement does not include language 
proposed by the House in section 313 making a provision 
permanent that exempts properties administered by the Presidio 
Trust from certain taxes and assessments, since this provision 
was made permanent in the fiscal year 2001 Interior 
Appropriations Act, or in section 332 that prohibits funding 
for anyone convicted of violating the ``Buy American Act,'' or 
in section 334 that would have prohibited the use of funds to 
execute a final lease agreement for oil and gas development in 
the area of the Gulf of Mexico known as Lease Sale 181, or in 
section 335 dealing with a limitation of funds for revising 
hardrock mining regulation. The Senate had no similar 
provisions.
