115TH CONGRESS 
2D SESSION 
H. R. 2075 
AN ACT 
To adjust the eastern boundary of the Deschutes Canyon- 
Steelhead Falls and Deschutes Canyon Wilderness Study 
Areas in the State of Oregon to facilitate fire prevention 
and response activities to protect private property, and 
for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Crooked River Ranch 
Fire Protection Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Crooked River Ranch is an unincor-
porated community with a population of 5,000 resi-
dents. 
(2) The current lands located adjacent to 
Crooked River Ranch are managed by the Bureau of 
Land Management and are classified as a Wilder-
ness Study Area. 
(3) There is currently only one entrance/exit to 
the Crooked River Ranch. 
(4) Jefferson County and Crooked River Ranch 
have determined that the Wilderness Study Area 
lands are in the highest risk category for exposure 
to devastating wildfire due to overstocked juniper 
stands under the federally mandated and locally pro-
mulgated Jefferson County Community Wildfire 
Protection Plan (CWPP). 
(5) The current Wilderness Study Area classi-
fication prevents mechanical fire prevention activities 
within the overstocked juniper stands. 
(6) Advancing this proposed legislation will 
greatly enhance the life and safety of people and
property by reducing the extreme fire threat to these 
lands. 
SEC. 3. BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT, DESCHUTES CANYON- 
STEELHEAD FALLS AND DESCHUTES CANYON 
WILDERNESS STUDY AREAS, OREGON. 
(a) BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED.—The Sec-
retary of the Interior shall adjust the eastern boundary 
of the Deschutes Canyon-Steelhead Falls Wilderness 
Study Area and the Deschutes Canyon Wilderness Study 
Area in the State of Oregon to exclude approximately 832 
acres, as depicted on the map entitled ‘‘Deschutes Canyon- 
Steelhead Falls Wilderness Study Area’’ and dated April 
6, 2017, in order to facilitate fire prevention and response 
activities on the excluded public lands and adjacent private 
property. 
(b) EFFECT OF EXCLUSION.—Effective on the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the public lands to be ex-
cluded from the Deschutes Canyon-Steelhead Falls Wil-
derness Study Area and the Deschutes Canyon Wilderness 
Study Area pursuant to subsection (a) are no longer sub-
ject to section 603(c) of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1782(c)). 
Passed the House of Representatives July 11, 2018.
