                        Environmental Policy Act of 1969 described in

                        value, or the values shall be equalized, or a 
                        donation made by Resolution Copper, pursuant to 
                        section 6.

        with regard to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
        compliance on this land exchange do not establish a precedent 
        with respect to future land exchanges or other Federal land 
        actions directed or mandated by Congress.
    (c) Exchange Processing.--Before the date of consummation of the 
exchange under section 4, the Secretary concerned shall complete any

    (d) Post-Exchange Processing.--Before commencing production in 
commercial quantities of any valuable mineral from the Federal land 
conveyed to Resolution Copper under section 4(b)(1)(B) (except for any 
such production from any exploration and mine development shafts, 
adits, and tunnels needed to determine feasibility and pilot plant 
testing of commercial production or to access the ore body and tailings 
deposition areas), the Secretary shall publish an environmental impact 
statement in accordance with section 102(2)(C) of the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4322(2)(C)) regarding any

        Resolution Copper under section 4(b)(1)(B) by directional 
        drilling or any other method that will not disturb the surface 
        of the land.
            (2) Sense of congress regarding permit.--It is the sense of 
        Congress that the Secretary should issue to Resolution Copper a 
        permit to conduct appropriate directional drilling or other

        Area as soon as practicable after the date of enactment of this
