SEC. 4. ADMINISTRATION OF WILDERNESS AREAS.

    (a) Covered Wilderness Areas.--In this section, the term ``covered 
wilderness area'' means--
            (1) the National Forest System land included in the 
        Pajarita Wilderness by the amendment made by section 2(a); and
            (2) the Tumacacori Highlands Wilderness designated by 
        section 3(a).
    (b) Administration.--The Secretary of Agriculture shall manage the 
covered wilderness area in accordance with the Wilderness Act (16 
U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) and this section, except that, with respect to a 
covered wilderness area, any reference in the Wilderness Act to the 
effective date of the Wilderness Act shall be deemed to be a reference 
to the date of the enactment of this Act.
    (c) Valid Existing Rights.--Nothing in this section shall affect 
any valid existing right.
    (d) Buffer Zones.--As provided in section 101(d) of the Arizona 
Wilderness Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-406; 98 Stat. 1488), Congress 
does not intend that designation of a covered wilderness area lead to 
the creation of protective perimeters or buffer zones around the 
covered wilderness area. The fact that nonwilderness activities or uses 
can be seen or heard from areas within a covered wilderness area shall 
not, of itself, preclude such activities or uses up to the boundary of 
the covered wilderness area.
    (e) Grazing.--Grazing of livestock and maintenance of existing 
facilities related to grazing in a covered wilderness area, where 
established before the date of the enactment of this Act, shall be 
permitted to continue in accordance with--
            (1) section 4(d)(4) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 
        1133(d)(4)); and
            (2) the guidelines set forth in House Report 96-617 to 
        accompany H.R. 5487 of the 96th Congress.
    (f) Hunting, Fish and Wildlife.--
            (1) Hunting.--Nothing in this section or the Wilderness Act 
        (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) shall affect hunting, under applicable 
        State and Federal laws and regulations, within a covered 
        wilderness area.
            (2) Jurisdiction.--As provided in section 4(d)(7) of the 
        Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(7)), nothing in this section 
        or the Wilderness Act shall be construed as affecting the 
        jurisdiction or responsibilities of the State of Arizona with 
        respect to fish and wildlife in the State.
            (3) Wildlife management.--Management activities to maintain 
        or restore fish and wildlife populations and the habitats to 
        support such populations may be carried out within a covered 
        wilderness area, where consistent with the Wilderness Act (16 
        U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) and other applicable laws.
            (4) Cooperative agreement.--The Secretary shall enter into 
        a cooperative agreement with the State of Arizona for 
        management of fish and wildlife within a covered wilderness 
        area. The cooperative agreement shall specify the terms and 
        conditions under which the State or a designee of the State may 
        use wildlife management activities in a covered wilderness area 
        consistent with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), 
        and other applicable laws.
    (g) Protection of Tribal Rights.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to diminish the existing rights of any Indian tribe. Nothing 
in this section shall be construed to diminish tribal rights regarding 
access to Federal lands for tribal activities, including spiritual, 
cultural, and traditional food gathering activities.
    (h) Military Activities.--Nothing in this section shall preclude 
low level overflights of military aircraft, the designation of new 
units of special airspace, or the use or establishment of military 
flight training routes over a covered wilderness area.
    (i) Border Enforcement and Drug Interdiction.--Because of the 
proximity of the covered wilderness areas to the United States-Mexico 
international border, drug interdiction and border enforcement 
operations are common management actions throughout the area 
encompassing the covered wilderness areas. This Act recognizes the need 
to continue such management actions so long as such management actions 
are conducted in accordance with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et 
seq.) and existing inter-agency agreements.
    (j) Maintenance of Existing Communications Facilities.--The 
provisions of the Wilderness Act shall not be construed to prevent--
            (1) the maintenance of communications facilities, in 
        existence on the date of the enactment of this Act and located 
        in a covered wilderness area; or
            (2) limited motorized access to such facilities when 
        nonmotorized access means are not reasonably available or when 
        time is of the essence, subject to such conditions as the 
        Secretary of Agriculture considers to be desirable.
