such sales were conducted in fiscal year 2005.
    Sec. 408. (a) Limitation of Funds.--None of the funds appropriated 
or otherwise made available pursuant to this Act shall be obligated or 
expended to accept or process applications for a patent for any mining 
or mill site claim located under the general mining laws.
    (b) Exceptions.--The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply 
if the Secretary of the Interior determines that, for the claim 
concerned: (1) a patent application was filed with the Secretary on or 
before September 30, 1994; and (2) all requirements established under

bearing account to the credit of the appropriate endowment for the 
purposes specified in each case.
    Sec. 410. No part of any appropriation contained in this Act shall 
be expended or obligated to complete and issue the 5-year program under 
the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act.
    Sec. 411. Section 3(a) of the Act of June 9, 1930 (commonly known 
as the Knutson-Vandenberg Act; 16 U.S.C. 576b), is amended--
            (1) by striking ``or'' following ``stand of timber,'' in 
        (3); and
            (2) by striking the period following ``wildlife habitat 
        management'' in (4), and inserting ``, or (5) watershed 
        restoration, wildlife habitat improvement, control of insects, 
        disease and noxious weeds, community protection activities, and 
        the maintenance of forest roads, within the Forest Service 
        region in which the timber sale occurred: Provided, That such 
        activities may be performed through the use of contracts, 
        forest product sales, and cooperative agreements.''.
    Sec. 412. Amounts deposited during fiscal year 2005 in the 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. 413. Other than in emergency situations, none of the funds in 
this Act may be used to operate telephone answering machines during 
core business hours unless such answering machines include an option 
that enables callers to reach promptly an individual on-duty with the 
agency being contacted.
    Sec. 414. No timber sale in Region 10 shall be advertised if the 
indicated rate is deficit when appraised using a residual value 
approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western redcedar. 
Program accomplishments shall be based on volume sold. Should Region 10 
sell, in the current fiscal year, 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 using a 
residual value approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western 
redcedar, all of the western redcedar 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 the current 
fiscal year, less than the annual average portion of the decadal 
allowable sale quantity called for in the Tongass Land Management Plan 
in sales which are not deficit when appraised using a residual value 
approach that assigns domestic Alaska values for western redcedar, the 
volume of western redcedar timber available to domestic processors at 
prevailing domestic prices in the contiguous 48 United States shall be 
that volume: (1) which is surplus to the needs of domestic processors 
in Alaska; and (2) is that percent of the surplus western redcedar 
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 
redcedar is eligible for sale to various markets shall be made at the 
time each sale is awarded). Western redcedar 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 redcedar logs from a given sale to domestic 
Alaska processors at a price equal to or greater than the log selling 
value stated in the contract. All additional western redcedar 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. 415. Prior to October 1, 2006, 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. 416. No funds provided in this Act may be expended to conduct 
preleasing, leasing and related activities under either the Mineral 
Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) or the Outer Continental Shelf 
Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.) within the boundaries of a National 
Monument established pursuant to the Act of June 8, 1906 (16 U.S.C. 431 
et seq.) as such boundary existed on January 20, 2001, except where 
such activities are allowed under the Presidential proclamation 
establishing such monument.
    Sec. 417. In entering into agreements with foreign countries 
pursuant to the Wildfire Suppression Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 1856m) 
the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior are 
authorized to enter into reciprocal agreements in which the individuals 
furnished under said agreements to provide wildfire services are 
considered, for purposes of tort liability, employees of the country 
receiving said services when the individuals are engaged in fire 
suppression: Provided, That the Secretary of Agriculture or the 
Secretary of the Interior shall not enter into any agreement under this 
provision unless the foreign country (either directly or through its 
fire organization) agrees to assume any and all liability for the acts 
or omissions of American firefighters engaged in firefighting in a 
foreign country: Provided further, That when an agreement is reached 
for furnishing fire fighting services, the only remedies for acts or 
omissions committed while fighting fires shall be those provided under 
the laws of the host country, and those remedies shall be the exclusive 
remedies for any claim arising out of fighting fires in a foreign 
country: Provided further, That neither the sending country nor any 
legal organization associated with the firefighter shall be subject to 
any legal action whatsoever pertaining to or arising out of the 
firefighter's role in fire suppression.
    Sec. 418. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation, 
to promote the more efficient use of the health care funding allocation 
for fiscal year 2006, the Eagle Butte Service Unit of the Indian Health 
Service, at the request of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, may pay base 
salary rates to health professionals up to the highest grade and step 
available to a physician, pharmacist, or other health professional and 
may pay a recruitment or retention bonus of up to 25 percent above the 
base pay rate.
    Sec. 419. In awarding a Federal contract with funds made available 
by this Act, notwithstanding Federal Government procurement and 
contracting laws, the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the 
Interior (the ``Secretaries'') may, in evaluating bids and proposals, 
give consideration to local contractors who are from, and who provide 
employment and training for, dislocated and displaced workers in an 
economically disadvantaged rural community, including those 
historically timber-dependent areas that have been affected by reduced 
timber harvesting on Federal lands and other forest-dependent rural 
communities isolated from significant alternative employment 
opportunities: Provided, That notwithstanding Federal Government 
procurement and contracting laws the Secretaries may award contracts, 
grants or cooperative agreements to local non-profit entities, Youth 
Conservation Corps or related partnerships with State, local or non-
profit youth groups, or small or micro-business or disadvantaged 
business: Provided further, That the contract, grant, or cooperative 
agreement is for forest hazardous fuels reduction, watershed or water 
quality monitoring or restoration, wildlife or fish population 
monitoring, or habitat restoration or management: Provided further, 
That the terms ``rural community'' and ``economically disadvantaged'' 
shall have the same meanings as in section 2374 of Public Law 101-624: 
Provided further, That the Secretaries shall develop guidance to 
implement this section: Provided further, That nothing in this section 
shall be construed as relieving the Secretaries of any duty under 
applicable procurement laws, except as provided in this section.
    Sec. 420. No funds appropriated in this Act for the acquisition of 
lands or interests in lands may be expended for the filing of 
declarations of taking or complaints in condemnation without the 
approval of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations: 
Provided, That this provision shall not apply to funds appropriated to 
implement the Everglades National Park Protection and Expansion Act of 
1989, or to funds appropriated for Federal assistance to the State of 
Florida to acquire lands for Everglades restoration purposes.
    Sec. 421. (a) Limitation on Competitive Sourcing Studies.--
            (1) Of the funds made available by this or any other Act to 
        the Department of the Interior for fiscal year 2006, not more 
        than $3,450,000 may be used by the Secretary of the Interior to 
        initiate or continue competitive sourcing studies in fiscal 
        year 2006 for programs, projects, and activities for which 
        funds are appropriated by this Act until such time as the 
        Secretary concerned submits a reprogramming proposal to the 
        Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and the House of 
        Representatives, and such proposal has been processed 
        consistent with the reprogramming guidelines included in the 
        report accompanying this Act.
            (2) Of the funds appropriated by this Act, not more than 
        $3,000,000 may be used in fiscal year 2006 for competitive

    (b) Competitive Sourcing Study Defined.--In this section, the term 
``competitive sourcing study'' means a study on subjecting work 
performed by Federal Government employees or private contractors to 
public-private competition or on converting the Federal Government 
employees or the work performed by such employees to private contractor 
performance under the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 or 
any other administrative regulation, directive, or policy.
    (c) Competitive Sourcing Exemption for Forest Service Studies 
Conducted Prior to Fiscal Year 2006.--The Forest Service is hereby 
exempted from implementing the Letter of Obligation and post-
competition accountability guidelines where a competitive sourcing 
study involved 65 or fewer full-time equivalents, the performance 
decision was made in favor of the agency provider; no net savings was 
achieved by conducting the study, and the study was completed prior to 
the date of this Act.
    (d) In preparing any reports to the Committees on Appropriations on 
competitive sourcing activities, agencies funded in this Act shall 
include the incremental cost directly attributable to conducting the 
competitive sourcing competitions, including costs attributable to 
paying outside consultants and contractors and, in accordance with full 
cost accounting principles, all costs attributable to developing, 
implementing, supporting, managing, monitoring, and reporting on 
competitive sourcing, including personnel, consultant, travel, and 
training costs associated with program management.
    (e) In carrying out any competitive sourcing study involving Forest 
Service employees, the Secretary of Agriculture shall--
            (1) determine whether any of the employees concerned are 
        also qualified to participate in wildland fire management 
        activities; and
            (2) take into consideration the effect that contracting 
        with a private sector source would have on the ability of the 
        Forest Service to effectively and efficiently fight and manage 
        wildfires.
    Sec. 422. None of the funds in this Act or prior Acts making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies
