promulgate programs for management of recreation 
in a manner compatible with the protection objec-
tives specified in section 3(b) and shall create a 
strategy for ecosystem protection and restoration. 
(2) MONITORING PLAN.—As a part of the com-
prehensive management plan, the Secretary shall de-
velop a monitoring plan for the national preserve. 
The monitoring plan shall stipulate that the continu-
ation of human uses is subject to monitoring on a 
regular basis, with specific time frames to be devel-
oped in the monitoring plan. Should monitoring indi-
cate that significant harm, as determined by the 
Secretary, is regularly occurring to specific natural 
values of the national preserve as a result of a 
human use of the national preserve, the Secretary 
shall— 
(A) suspend the human use in the national 
preserve until it is adjusted to prevent signifi-
cant harm; or 
(B) terminate the human use in the na-
tional preserve if the Secretary determines that 
the harm cannot realistically be avoided. 
(3) RESTORATION.—The comprehensive man-
agement plan shall set forth a distinctive program 
for the science-based restoration of unique native ec-
ological components, including riparian area rehabili-
tation, the enhancement of depleted native plant and 
animal species, elimination of non-native species 
deemed to be a threat to biodiversity, and the re-
introduction of select native species that have been 
extirpated. 
(f) HUNTING AND FISHING.—Within the Hells Can-
yon/Chief Joseph National Preserve, the Secretary of the 
Interior shall allow the continuation of hunting and fish-
ing, as administered by the States of Oregon, Idaho, and 
Washington. The Secretary may preclude hunting in spe-
cific areas only to pursue the directives of subsection 
(c)(1) and only after collaboration with appropriate offi-
cials of these States. 
(g) INVOLVEMENT IN SNAKE RIVER DAMS RELI-
CENSING.—The Secretary of the Interior shall authorize 
the direct involvement of the Department of the Interior 
in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission process for 
the relicensing of the Hells Canyon Dams complex, includ-
ing the Brownlee, Oxbow, and Hells Canyon Dams. Within 
this process, the representatives of the Secretary shall ad-
vocate for a determination of these dams that restores and 
protects the natural and ecosystem values of the Snake 
River below Oxbow Dam. The Secretary also shall pursue 
the relocation of those powerlines from Oxbow and Hells
Canyon Dams located within the national preserve to loca-
tions outside of the preserve. 
(h) INVOLVEMENT OF TRIBES.—The Secretary of the 
Interior shall ensure adherence to the treaty obligations 
of the United States with Native American tribes that 
maintain certain rights on ceded lands within the Hells 
Canyon/Chief Joseph National Preserve. The Secretary 
shall provide for consultation with Native American tribes 
that maintain certain rights on ceded lands. Involvement 
of the Tribes may include financial allocation to ensure 
their direct participation in land management activities 
and policy, upon their request. 
SEC. 302. FLATHEAD NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE 
STUDY. 
(a) STUDY REQUIREMENT.—The Secretary of the In-
terior, acting through the Director of National Park Serv-
ice, shall conduct a study of the feasibility of creating a 
Flathead National Park and Preserve. The Secretary shall 
study the feasibility of designating the study area de-
scribed in subsection (b) as a unit of the National Park 
System, including the feasibility of applying to the study 
area national park and national preserve designations to 
be administered by the National Park Service. The study 
shall include specific recommendations as to which areas 
within the study area boundary should be classified as na-
