itual, archaeological, and traditional gathering
sites of significance to the Pechanga Band of
Luiseno Mission Indians;
(B) the site of what is considered to be the
oldest living coastal live oak; and
(C) the site of the historic Erle Stanley
Gardner Ranch.
(2) Based on the finding described in paragraph

support for the efforts of the Pechanga Band of
Luiseno Mission Indians to have the land described in
subsection (b) held in trust by the United States for
purposes of preservation.
(b) DECLARATION OF LAND HELD IN TRUST.—Not-
withstanding any other provision of law, the land held in
fee by the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians, as
described in Document No. 211130 of the Riverside County,
California Office of the Recorder and recorded on May 15,
2001, located within the boundaries of the county of River-
side within the State of California, is hereby declared to
be held by the United States in trust for the benefit of the
HR 2217 EAS
Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians and shall be

SEC. 133. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING COASTAL
IMPACT ASSISTANCE. (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) the United States continues to be reliant on
fossil fuels (including crude oil and natural gas) as
a source of most of the energy consumed in the coun-
try;
(2) this reliance is likely to continue for the fore-
seeable future;
(3) about 65 percent of the energy needs of the
United States are supplied by oil and natural gas;
(4) the United States is becoming increasingly
reliant on clean-burning natural gas for electricity
generation, home heating and air conditioning, agri-
cultural needs, and essential chemical processes;
(5) a large portion of the remaining crude oil
and natural gas resources of the country are on Fed-
eral land located in the western United States, in
Alaska, and off the coastline of the United States;
(6) the Gulf of Mexico has proven to be a signifi-
cant source of oil and natural gas and is predicted
to remain a significant source in the immediate fu-
ture;
HR 2217 EAS
(7) many States and counties oppose the develop-
ment of Federal crude oil and natural gas resources
within or near the coastline, which opposition results
in congressional, Executive, State, or local policies to
prevent the development of those resources;
(8) actions that prevent the development of cer-
tain Federal crude oil and natural gas resources do
not lessen the energy needs of the United States or of
those States and counties that object to exploration
and development for fossil fuels;
(9) actions to prevent the development of certain
Federal crude oil and natural gas resources focus de-
velopment pressure on the remaining areas of Federal
crude oil and natural gas resources, such as onshore
and offshore Alaska, certain onshore areas in the
western United States, and the central Gulf of Mexico
off the coasts of Alabama, Alaska, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, and Texas;
(10) the development of Federal crude oil and
natural gas resources is accompanied by adverse ef-
fects on the infrastructure services, public services,
and the environment of States, counties, and local
communities that host the development of those Fed-
eral resources;
HR 2217 EAS
(11) States, counties, and local communities do
not have the power to tax adequately the development
of Federal crude oil and natural gas resources, par-
ticularly when those development activities occur off
the coastline of States that serve as platforms for that
development, such as Alabama, Alaska, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Texas;
(12) the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181 et
seq.), which governs the development of Federal crude
oil and natural gas resources located onshore, pro-
vides, outside the budget and appropriations processes
of the Federal Government, payments to States in
which Federal crude oil and natural gas resources are
located in the amount of 50 percent of the direct reve-
nues received from the Federal Government for those
resources; and
(13) there is no permanent provision in the
Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 U.S.C. 1331
et seq.), which governs the development of Federal
crude oil and natural gas resources located offshore,
that authorizes the sharing of a portion of the annual
revenues generated from Federal offshore crude oil
and natural gas resources with adjacent coastal
States that—
HR 2217 EAS
(A) serve as the platform for that develop-
ment; and
(B) suffer adverse effects on the environment
and infrastructure of the States.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress
that Congress should provide a significant portion of the
Federal offshore mineral revenues to coastal States that per-
mit the development of Federal mineral resources off the
coastline, including the States of Alabama, Alaska, Lou-
isiana, Mississippi, and Texas.
