TO
THE PUB-
LIC.—Although the wilderness areas designated by section 
201 consist of National Forest System land under the ju-
risdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture and public land 
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, the 
Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior 
shall collaborate to assure that the wilderness areas are 
interpreted to the public as an overall complex tied to-
gether by common location in the Boulder-White Cloud 
Mountains and common identity with the natural and cul-
tural history of the State of Idaho and its Native Amer-
ican and pioneer heritage. 
(c) COMPREHENSIVE WILDERNESS MANAGEMENT

1131(d)(1)). 
(e) WILDERNESS TRAILS AND TRAILHEADS.— 
(1) CONSTRUCTION OF NEW TRAILHEAD.—The 
Secretary concerned shall construct a new trailhead 
for nonmotorized users and improve access to the 
Wickiup Trail (#684) and at the Big Boulder Trail-
head to separate motorized/bicycle users from non-
motorized/bicycle users. 
(2) INCLUSION OF ACCESSIBLE TRAILS.—The 
Secretary concerned may establish wheelchair acces-
sible trails into the wilderness areas designated by 
section 201, including the Bowery Creek Guard Sta-
tion along the West Fork of the East Fork of the 
Salmon River.

LANDS.—Nothing in this title is intended to affect the 
rights or interests in real property, patented mining 
claims, or valid claims or prevent reasonable access for 
the development and use of valid mineral rights. The Sec-
retary concerned may enter into negotiations with the 
holder of a patented claim or valid claim located in a wil-
derness area designated by section 201 for the voluntary 
relinquishment of the claim. 
(g) GRAZING.—Grazing of livestock in a wilderness 
area designated by section 201, where established before 
the date of the enactment of this Act, shall be adminis-
tered in accordance with the provisions of section 4(d)(4) 
of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(4)), section 108

stock into the wilderness areas designated by section 201, 
including when such entry is made by commercial outfit-
ters. 
SEC. 203. INCORPORATION OF ACQUIRED LANDS AND IN-
TERESTS. 
Any land or interest in land located inside the bound-
aries of a wilderness area designated by section 201 that 
is acquired by the United States after the date of the en-
actment of this Act shall be added to and administered 
as part of the wilderness area.
SEC. 204. ADJACENT MANAGEMENT. 
(a) NO
PROTECTIVE
PERIMETERS
OR
BUFFER 
ZONES.—Congress does not intend for the designation of 
the wilderness areas by section 201 to lead to the creation 
of protective perimeters or buffer zones around any such 
wilderness area. 
(b) NONWILDERNESS ACTIVITIES.—The fact that 
nonwilderness activities or uses outside of a wilderness 
area designated by section 201 can be seen or heard from 
inside of the wilderness area shall not preclude the conduct 
of those activities or uses outside the boundaries of the 
wilderness area. 
SEC. 205. WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT. 
Consistent with section 4 of the Wilderness Act (16 
U.S.C. 1133), nothing in this title precludes a Federal, 
State, or local agency from conducting wildfire manage-
ment operations, including operations using aircraft or 
mechanized equipment, to manage wildfires in the wilder-
ness areas designated by section 201. 
SEC. 206. WATER RIGHTS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The lands designated as wilderness areas by 
section 201 are located at the headwaters of the 
streams and rivers on those lands, with few, if any, 
actual or proposed water resource facilities located 
upstream from such lands and few, if any, opportu-
nities for diversion, storage, or other uses of water 
occurring outside such lands that would adversely 
affect the wilderness values of such lands. 
(2) The lands designated as wilderness areas by 
section 201 are not suitable for use for development 
of new water resource facilities or for the expansion 
of existing facilities. 
(3) Therefore, it is possible to provide for prop-
er management and protection of the wilderness 
value of the lands designated as wilderness areas by 
section 201 in ways different from the ways utilized 
in other laws designating wilderness areas. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this section is to pro-
tect the wilderness values of the lands designated as wil-
derness areas by section 201 by means other than a feder-
ally reserved water right. 
(c) STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this 
title— 
(1) shall constitute, or be construed to con-
stitute, either an express or implied reservation by 
the United States of any water or water rights with 
respect to the wilderness areas designated by section 
201; 
(2) shall affect any water rights in the State of 
Idaho existing on the date of the enactment of this
Act, including any water rights held by the United 
States; 
(3) shall be construed as establishing a prece-
dent with regard to any future wilderness designa-
tions; 
(4) shall be construed as limiting, altering, 
modifying, or amending any of the interstate com-
pacts or equitable apportionment decrees that appor-
tion water among and between the State of Idaho 
and other States; and 
(5) shall be construed as limiting, altering, 
modifying, or amending provisions of Public Law 
92–400, which established the Sawtooth National 
Recreation Area (16 U.S.C. 460aa et seq.). 
(d) IDAHO WATER LAW.—The Secretary concerned 
shall follow the procedural and substantive requirements 
of the law of the State of Idaho when seeking to establish 
any water rights, not in existence on the date of the enact-
ment of this Act, with respect to the wilderness areas des-
ignated by section 201. 
(e) NEW PROJECTS.— 
(1) PROHIBITION.—Except as otherwise pro-
vided in this Act, on and after the date of the enact-
ment of this Act, neither the President nor any 
other officer, employee, or agent of the United
States shall fund, assist, authorize, or issue a license 
or permit for the development of any new water re-
source facility inside any of the wilderness areas des-
ignated by section 201. 
(2) DEFINITION.—In this subsection, the term 
‘‘water resource facility’’ means irrigation and 
pumping facilities, reservoirs, water conservation 
works, aqueducts, canals, ditches, pipelines, wells, 
hydropower projects, and transmission and other an-
cillary facilities, and other water diversion, storage, 
and carriage structures. 
SEC. 207. WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT. 
(a) STATE JURISDICTION.—In accordance with sec-
tion 4(d)(7) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(7)), 
nothing in this title affects or diminishes the jurisdiction 
of the State of Idaho with respect to fish and wildlife man-
agement, including the regulation of hunting, fishing, and 
trapping, in the wilderness areas designated by section 
201. 
(b) MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES.—In furtherance of 
the purposes and principles of the Wilderness Act, man-
agement activities to maintain or restore fish and wildlife 
populations and the habitats to support such populations 
may be carried out within wilderness areas designated by 
section 201 where consistent with relevant wilderness
management plans, in accordance with appropriate poli-
cies such as those set forth in Appendix B of House Re-
port 101–405 of the 101st Congress, including the occa-
sional and temporary use of motorized vehicles, if such 
use, as determined by the Secretary concerned is the min-
imum impact necessary to reasonably accomplish the task. 
(c) USE
OF AIRCRAFT.—Consistent with section 
4(d)(1) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)) and 
in accordance with appropriate policies such as those set 
forth in Appendix B of House Report 101–405 of the 
101st Congress, the State of Idaho may continue to use 
aircraft, including helicopters, to survey, capture, trans-
plant, monitor, and manage elk, deer, bighorn sheep, 
mountain goats, wolves, grizzly bears, and other wildlife 
and fish. 
(d) HUNTING, FISHING, AND TRAPPING.—Nothing in 
this title shall affect hunting, fishing, and trapping, under 
applicable State and Federal laws and regulations, in the 
wilderness areas designated by section 201. The Secretary 
concerned may designate, by regulation in consultation 
with the appropriate State agency (except in emergencies), 
areas in which, and establish periods during which, for 
reasons of public safety, administration, or compliance 
with applicable laws, no hunting, fishing, or trapping will 
be permitted in the wilderness areas.
SEC. 208. NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS 
USES. 
Nothing in this title shall be construed to diminish 
the rights of any Indian tribe. Nothing in this title shall 
be construed to diminish tribal rights regarding access to 
Federal lands for tribal activities, including spiritual, cul-
tural, and traditional food-gathering activities. 
SEC. 209. MILITARY OVERFLIGHTS. 
Nothing in this title restricts or precludes— 
(1) low-level overflights of military aircraft over 
the wilderness areas designated by section 201, in-
cluding military overflights that can be seen or 
heard within the wilderness areas; 
(2) flight testing and evaluation; or 
(3) the designation or creation of new units of 
special use airspace, or the establishment of military 
flight training routes, over the wilderness areas. 
SEC. 210. WILDERNESS REVIEW. 
(a) NATIONAL FORESTS.—Section 5 of Public Law 
92–400 (16 U.S.C. 460aa–4), which required a review of 
the undeveloped and unimproved portion or portions of the 
Sawtooth National Recreation Area established by that 
Act as to suitability or nonsuitability for preservation as 
part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, is 
repealed. 
(b) PUBLIC LANDS.—
(1) FINDING.—Congress finds that, for the pur-
pose of section 603 of the Federal Land Policy and

than $1,000,000, which shall be used by the Secretary to 
make a grant to the State of Idaho in the full amount 
so appropriated for deposit with the Off Road Motor Vehi-
cle Program of the Idaho Department of State Parks and 
Recreation, which is used to support the acquisition, pur-
chase, improvement, repair, maintenance, furnishing, and 
equipping of off-road motor vehicle facilities and sites, to 
groom snowmobile trails, and for enforcement activities 
and the rehabilitation of land damaged by off-road vehicle 
users. As a condition of the grant, the State must main-
tain the grant funds as a separate account of the Off Road
Motor Vehicle Program and may not use the funds except 
as provided by this section.

TITLE IV—WAIVER OF GRAZING 
PERMITS 
SEC. 401. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
(1) Grazing allotments on the lands designated 
as wilderness by title II, and on nearby Federal 
lands, have been reduced repeatedly by Forest Serv-
ice and other Federal agency decisions reflecting 
changes in the management of such lands. 
(2) Future management changes for these lands 
directed to the watershed recovery for the purposes 
of restoration of endangered fish populations may 
result in additional grazing restrictions. 
(3) Many of the ranching families who have 
used these lands have found themselves unable to 
survive economically or to recapture lost economic 
opportunities as a consequence of the location of 
their ranching operations. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this title is to offer 
economic options for traditional users of such lands who 
have been adversely impacted by past changes, and will 
be adversely impacted by future changes, in the manage-
ment of such lands. 
SEC. 402. VOLUNTARY GRAZING PERMIT WAIVER PRO-
GRAM. 
(a) ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION.—Only persons 
that held, on September 30, 2004, a valid grazing permit 
located in whole or in part in the Boulder-White Cloud 
Management Area, a wilderness area designated by title
II, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, or the water-
shed of the East Fork Salmon River shall be eligible to 
participate in the voluntary grazing permit waiver pro-
gram under this title. 
(b) NOTICE OF PARTICIPATION.—If a person de-
scribed in subsection (a) desires to participate in the vol-
untary grazing permit waiver program under this title, the 
person shall notify the Federal agency from which the per-
son obtained the permit, in writing, not later than one 
year after the date of the enactment of this Act, of the 
voluntary decision of the person to participate in the pro-
gram in exchange for compensation under section 403. 
Nothing in this subsection prevents a person described in 
subsection (a) from waiving, at any time, a grazing permit 
without compensation. 
(c) WAIVER.—In the notification submitted under 
subsection (b), the person shall agree to waive the valid 
grazing permit authorizing livestock grazing on grazing al-
lotments located in whole or in part on lands described 
in subsection (a). The waiver shall take effect on the date 
the person receives the compensation provided under sec-
tion 403, the date the person makes the waiver by dona-
tion, or the date the person receives appropriate com-
pensation from a third party, whichever occurs first.
(d) EFFECT OF PERMIT WAIVER ON RANGE DEVEL-
OPMENTS.— 
(1) WAIVER.—Except as provided in paragraph 
(2), a person who waives a permit under this section 
shall be deemed to have waived any claim to all 
range developments on the subject grazing allotment 
or allotments. 
(2) REMOVAL.—The Federal agency from which 
a person obtained a grazing permit may authorize 
the person to remove those range developments asso-
ciated with the permit that are not permanent and 
are easily removable, as determined by the Federal 
agency. The removal of the range developments shall 
be completed before the end of the one-year period 
beginning on the date the waiver of the permit takes 
effect under subsection (c) and shall be subject to 
the supervision of the Federal agency. 
(e) CANCELLATION.—Not later than 30 days after 
the waiver of a grazing permit takes effect under sub-
section (c), the Federal agency shall cancel the permitted 
grazing on the Federal land in the allotments covered by 
the notification. Upon cancellation, grazing permits shall 
be prohibited in the areas where permits were waived, and 
no future management allocations for grazing shall be per-
mitted.
(f) TREATMENT OF VACANT ALLOTMENTS.—Any va-
cant, unallocated grazing allotments in existence on lands 
described in subsection (a) shall not be made available to 
any person after the date of the enactment of this Act. 
SEC. 403. COMPENSATION. 
(a) ELIGIBILITY AND AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION.— 
The Federal agency may make a payment to permittees 
described in subsection (a) of section 402 who waive graz-
ing permits as provided in subsection (b) of such section 
according to a schedule of payments prepared jointly by 
such agencies and filed with the Committee on Resources 
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. The total 
amount available for such payments is $7,000,000. If a 
permittee is in arrears of Federal grazing fees, the amount 
of fees in arrears shall be deducted from the amount of 
compensation otherwise due the permittee under this sub-
section. 
(b) EXCEPTIONS.—Compensation shall not be pro-
vided under this section if the permittee waives the permit 
by donation. The amount of any compensation the per-
mittee receives from a third party for the waiver of the 
permit shall be deducted from the amount of compensation 
otherwise due the permittee under subsection (a).
(c) PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR ADMINIS-
TRATIVE COSTS.—None of the funds made available to 
provide compensation under this title may be used to cover 
administrative costs incurred by a Federal agency to carry 
out this title.
