interest at rates determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, taking 
into consideration current market yields on outstanding marketable 
obligations of the United States of comparable maturity. Such invested 
moneys shall remain invested until needed to meet requirements for 
disbursement for the programs financed under this Act.
    (e) Refunds.--In those instances where through judicial decision, 
administrative review, arbitration, or other means there are royalty 
refunds owed to entities generating revenues under this title, refunds 
shall be paid by the Secretary of the Treasury from amounts available 
in the Fund to the extent that such refunds are attributable to 
qualified Outer Continental Shelf revenues deposited in the Fund under 
this Act.
    (f) Intent of Congress To Supplement Annual Appropriations for 
National Park Service.--Amounts made available by this Act are intended 
by the Congress to supplement, and not detract from, annual 
appropriations for the National Park Service.

SEC. 6. LIMITATION ON USE OF AVAILABLE AMOUNTS FOR ADMINISTRATION.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, of amounts made 
available by this Act (including the amendments made by this Act) for a 
particular activity, not more than 2 percent may be used for 
administrative expenses of that activity. Nothing in this section shall 
affect section 4(c)(3) of the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration 
Act.

SEC. 7. RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS.

    The Secretary of the Interior in consultation with the Secretary of 
Agriculture shall establish such rules regarding recordkeeping by State 
and local governments and the auditing of expenditures made by State 
and local governments from funds made available under this Act as may 
be necessary. Such rules shall be in addition to other requirements 
established regarding recordkeeping and the auditing of such 
expenditures under other authority of law.

SEC. 8. MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT AND MATCHING FUNDING.

    (a) In General.--It is the intent of the Congress in this Act that 
States not use this Act as an opportunity to reduce State or local 
resources for the programs funded by this Act. Except as provided in 
subsection (b), no State or local government shall receive any funds 
under this Act during any fiscal year when its expenditures of non-
Federal funds for recurrent expenditures for programs for which funding 
is provided under this Act will be less than its expenditures were for 
such programs during the preceding fiscal year. No State or local 
government shall receive funding under this Act with respect to a 
program unless the Secretary is satisfied that such a grant will be so 
used to supplement and, to the extent practicable, increase the level 
of State, local, or other non-Federal funds available for such program.
    (b) Exception.--The Secretary may provide funding under this Act to 
a State or local government not meeting the requirements of subsection 
(a) if the Secretary determines that a reduction in expenditures--
            (1) is attributable to a nonselective reduction in 
        expenditures for the programs of all executive branch agencies 
        of the State or local government; or
            (2) is a result of reductions in State or local revenue as 
        a result of a downturn in the economy.
    (c) Use of Fund To Meet Matching Requirements.--All funds received 
by a State or local government under this Act shall be treated as 
Federal funds for purposes of compliance with any provision in effect 
under any other law requiring that non-Federal funds be used to provide 
a portion of the funding for any program or project.

SEC. 9. SUNSET.

    This Act, including the amendments made by this Act, shall have no 
force or effect after September 30, 2015.

SEC. 10. PROTECTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

    (a) Savings Clause.--Nothing in the Act shall authorize that 
private property be taken for public use, without just compensation as 
provided by the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments to the United States 
Constitution.
    (b) Regulation.--Federal agencies, using funds appropriated by this 
Act, may not apply any regulation on any lands or water until the lands 
or water, or an interest therein, is acquired, unless authorized to do 
so by another Act of Congress.

SEC. 11. SIGNS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary shall require, as a condition of any 
financial assistance provided with amounts made available by this Act, 
that the person that owns or administers any site that benefits from 
such assistance shall include on any sign otherwise installed at that 
site at or near an entrance or public use focal point, a statement that 
the existence or development of the site (or both), as appropriate, is 
a product of such assistance.
    (b) Standards.--The Secretary shall provide for the design of 
standardized signs for purposes of subsection (a), and shall prescribe 
standards and guidelines for such signs.

          TITLE I--IMPACT ASSISTANCE AND COASTAL CONSERVATION

SEC. 101. IMPACT ASSISTANCE FORMULA AND PAYMENTS.

    (a) Impact Assistance Payments to States.--
            (1) Grant program.--Amounts transferred to the Secretary of 
        the Interior from the Conservation and Reinvestment Act Fund 
        under section 5(b)(1) of this Act for purposes of making 
        payments to coastal States under this title in any fiscal year 
        shall be allocated by the Secretary of the Interior among 
        coastal States as provided in this section in each such fiscal 
        year. In each such fiscal year, the Secretary of the Interior 
        shall, without further appropriation, disburse such allocated 
        funds to those coastal States for which the Secretary has 
        approved a Coastal State Conservation and Impact Assistance 
        Plan as required by this title. Payments for all projects shall 
        be made by the Secretary to the Governor of the State or to the 
        State official or agency designated by the Governor or by State 
        law as having authority and responsibility to accept and to 
        administer funds  paid hereunder. No payment shall be made to 
any State until the State has agreed to provide such reports to the 
Secretary, in such form and containing such information, as may be 
reasonably necessary to enable the Secretary to perform his duties 
under this title, and provide such fiscal control and fund accounting 
procedures as may be necessary to assure proper disbursement and 
accounting for Federal revenues paid to the State under this title.
            (2) Failure to have plan approved.--At the end of each 
        fiscal year, the Secretary shall return to the Conservation and 
        Reinvestment Act Fund any amount that the Secretary allocated, 
        but did not disburse, in that fiscal year to a coastal State 
        that does not have an approved plan under this title before the 
        end of the fiscal year in which such grant is allocated, except 
        that the Secretary shall hold in escrow until the final 
        resolution of the appeal any amount allocated, but not 
        disbursed, to a coastal State that has appealed the disapproval 
        of a plan submitted under this title.
    (b) Allocation Among Coastal States.--
            (1) Allocable share for each state.--For each coastal 
        State, the Secretary shall determine the State's allocable 
        share of the total amount of the revenues transferred from the 
        Fund under section 5(b)(1) for each fiscal year using the 
        following weighted formula:
                    (A) Fifty percent of such revenues shall be 
                allocated among the coastal States as provided in 
                paragraph (2).
                    (B) Twenty-five percent of such revenues shall be 
                allocated to each coastal State based on the ratio of 
                each State's shoreline miles to the shoreline miles of 
                all coastal States.
                    (C) Twenty-five percent of such revenues shall be 
                allocated to each coastal State based on the ratio of 
                each State's coastal population to the coastal 
                population of all coastal States.
            (2) Offshore outer continental shelf share.--If any portion 
        of a producing State lies within a distance of 200 miles from 
        the geographic center of any leased tract with qualified Outer 
        Continental Shelf revenues, the Secretary of the Interior shall 
        determine such State's allocable share under paragraph (1)(A) 
        based on the formula set forth in this paragraph. Such State 
        share shall be calculated as of the date of the enactment of 
        this Act. Each such State's allocable share of the revenues 
        disbursed under paragraph (1)(A) shall be based on qualified 
        Outer Continental Shelf revenues from each leased tract or 
        portion of a leased tract the geographic center of which is 
        within a distance (to the nearest whole mile) of 200 miles from 
        the coastline of the State and shall be inversely proportional 
        to the distance between the nearest point on the coastline of 
        such State and the geographic center of each such leased tract 
        or portion, as determined by the Secretary. In applying this 
        paragraph a leased tract or portion of a leased tract shall be 
        excluded if the tract or portion is located in a geographic 
        area subject to a leasing moratorium on January 1, 2001, unless 
        the lease was issued prior to the establishment of the 
        moratorium and was in production on January 1, 2001.
            (3) Minimum state share.--
                    (A) In general.--The allocable share of revenues 
                determined by the Secretary under this subsection for 
                each coastal State with an approved coastal management 
                program (as defined by the Coastal Zone Management Act 
                (16 U.S.C. 1451)), or which is making satisfactory 
                progress toward one, shall not be less in any fiscal 
                year than 0.50 percent of the total amount of the 
                revenues transferred by the Secretary of the Treasury 
                to the Secretary of the Interior for purposes of this 
                title for that fiscal year under subsection (a). For 
                any other coastal State the allocable share of such 
                revenues shall not be less than 0.25 percent of such 
                revenues.
                    (B) Recomputation.--Where one or more coastal 
                States' allocable shares, as computed under paragraphs 
                (1) and (2), are increased by any amount under this 
                paragraph, the allocable share for all other coastal 
                States shall be recomputed and reduced by the same 
                amount so that not more than 100 percent of the amount 
transferred by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Secretary of the 
Interior for purposes of this title for that fiscal year under section 
5(b)(1) is allocated to all coastal States. The reduction shall be 
divided pro rata among such other coastal States.
    (c) Payments to Political Subdivisions.--In the case of a producing 
State, the Governor of the State shall pay 50 percent of the State's 
allocable share, as determined under subsection (b), to the coastal 
political subdivisions in such State. Such payments shall be allocated 
among such coastal political subdivisions of the State according to an 
allocation formula analogous to the allocation formula used in 
subsection (b) to allocate revenues among the coastal States, except 
that a coastal political subdivision in the State of California that 
has a coastal shoreline, that is not within 200 miles of the geographic 
center of a leased tract or portion of a leased tract, and in which 
there is located one or more oil refineries shall be eligible for that 
portion of the allocation described in subsection (b)(1)(A) and (b)(2) 
in the same manner as if that political subdivision were located within 
a distance of 50 miles from the geographic center of the closest leased 
tract with qualified Outer Continental Shelf revenues.
    (d) Time of Payment.--Payments to coastal States and coastal 
political subdivisions under this section shall be made not later than 
December 31 of each year from revenues received during the immediately 
preceding fiscal year.

Statewide plan for transmittal to the Secretary. The Governor shall 
solicit local input and shall provide for public participation in the 
development of the Statewide plan. The plan shall be submitted to the

evaluate the effectiveness of the plan.
                    (C) Certification by the Governor that ample 
                opportunity has been accorded for public participation 
                in the development and revision of the plan.
                    (D) Measures for taking into account other relevant

fiscal year for State purposes--
            ``(A) 30 percent shall be apportioned equally among the 
        several States; and

        that the amount apportioned to each State under this

        subparagraph for the fiscal year is equal to the ratio that the 
        population of the State bears to the total population of all 
        States.
No amount may be apportioned under this paragraph to any State (herein 
referred to as an `unfunded State') that has not established a 
dedicated State land acquisition fund that is funded through the 
State's budget process. The amount that would have been apportioned to 
any such unfunded State under this paragraph shall be reapportioned to 
other States in accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B).
    ``(3) The total allocation to an individual State for a fiscal year 
under paragraph (2) shall not exceed 10 percent of the total amount 
allocated to the several States under paragraph (2) for that fiscal 
year.
    ``(4) The Secretary shall notify each State of its apportionment, 
and the amounts thereof shall be available thereafter to the State for 
planning, acquisition, or development projects as hereafter described. 
Any amount of any apportionment under this subsection that has not been 
paid or obligated by the Secretary during the fiscal year in which such 
notification is given and the two fiscal years thereafter shall be 
reapportioned by the Secretary in accordance with paragraph (2), but 
without regard to the 10 percent limitation to an individual State

defined in section 3 of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 
U.S.C. 1602)), shall be eligible to receive shares of the apportionment 
under paragraph (1) in accordance with a competitive grant program 
established by the Secretary by rule. The total apportionment available 
to such tribes, or in the case of Alaska, Native Corporations shall be 
equivalent to the amount available to a single State. No single tribe, 
nor in the case of Alaska, Native Corporation shall receive a grant 
that constitutes more than 10 percent of the total amount made 
available to all tribes and Alaska Native Corporations pursuant to the 
apportionment under paragraph (1). Funds received by a tribe, or in the 
case of Alaska, Native Corporation under this subparagraph may be 
expended only for the purposes specified in clauses (1) and (3) of 
subsection (a).''.

amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(6) Absent some compelling and annually documented reason to the 
contrary acceptable to the Secretary of the Interior, each State (other 
than an area treated as a State under paragraph (5)) shall make 
available as grants to local governments, at least 50 percent of the 
annual State apportionment, or an equivalent amount made available from 
other sources.''.
    (d) State Projects of Regional or National Significance.--Section 
6(b) (16 U.S.C. 460l-8(b)) is amended by adding the following at the

quality, or otherwise enhance the environment, or that would protect 
areas that have historic or cultural value. The Secretary shall give 
preference to projects that would be most likely to have the greatest 
benefit to the environment regionally or nationally and would maintain 
or enhance recreational opportunities.''.

    ``(d) State Action Agenda Required.--(1) Each State may define its 
own priorities and criteria for selection of outdoor conservation and 
recreation acquisition and development projects eligible for grants 
under this Act, so long as the priorities and criteria defined by the 
State are consistent with the purposes of this Act, the State provides 
for public involvement in this process, and the State publishes an 
accurate and current State Action Agenda for Community Conservation and 
Recreation (in this Act referred to as the `State Action Agenda') 
indicating the needs it has identified and the priorities and criteria 
it has established. In order to assess its needs and establish its 
overall priorities, each State, in partnership with its local 
governments and Federal agencies, and in consultation with its 
citizens, shall develop, within 5 years after the enactment of the 
Conservation and Reinvestment Act, a State Action Agenda that meets the 
following requirements:
            ``(A) The agenda must be strategic, originating in broad-
        based and long-term needs, but focused on actions that can be 
        funded over the next 5 years.
            ``(B) The agenda must be updated at least once every 5 
        years and certified by the Governor that the State Action 
Agenda conclusions and proposed actions have been considered in an 
active public involvement process.
    ``(2) State Action Agendas shall take into account all providers of 
conservation and recreation lands within each State, including Federal, 
regional, and local government resources, and shall be correlated 
whenever possible with other State, regional, and local plans for 
parks, recreation, open space, and wetlands conservation. Recovery 
action programs developed by urban localities under section 1007 of the 
Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Act of 1978 shall be used by a State 
as a guide to the conclusions, priorities, and action schedules 
contained in State Action Agenda. Each State shall assure that any 
requirements for local outdoor conservation and recreation planning, 
promulgated as conditions for grants, minimize redundancy of local 
efforts by allowing, wherever possible, use of the findings, 
priorities, and implementation schedules of recovery action programs to 
meet such requirements.''.
