‘‘SEC. 10. RECEIPT SHARING.
‘‘(a) PAYMENT
TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.—From
the moneys received by the United States in return for
the grazing of domestic livestock on public domain lands
and National Forest lands in the 16 contiguous Western
States, the Secretary of the Treasury shall pay to the
units of local government with jurisdiction over the lands
with respect to which such moneys are collected an
amount equal to 12.5 percent of such moneys collected
under section 3 of this Act and 50 percent of such moneys
collected under section 15 of this Act during each fiscal
year.
‘‘(b) USES.—Payments made under this subsection
shall be in addition to any payments made to units of local
government under other applicable law. Moneys received
under this section may be used for any governmental pur-
pose, including but not limited to schools and roads, but
may not be expended in support of or opposition to any
legislative proposal pending before Congress prior to its
enactment into law or in connection with any action or
claim in any court or other agency of the United States
or of any State relating to the management of domestic
livestock grazing on public lands or National Forest lands.
‘‘(c) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this section, the
term ‘unit of local government’ shall have the same defini-
tion as such term has in chapter 69 of title 31 of the Unit-
ed States Code (providing for payments for entitlement
land).
‘‘(d) PROPORTIONS.—If any grazing district includes
lands within the jurisdiction of more than one unit of local
government, payments to each such unit shall be in pro-
portion to the percentage of the total area of such grazing
district located within each such unit’s jurisdiction.’’.

ing in lieu thereof the words ‘‘five years’’.
SEC. 4. NONGRAZING USE.
Section 402 of the Federal Land Policy and Manage-
ment Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1752) is amended by adding
at the end thereof the following:
‘‘(i) 
ALLOTMENT
MANAGEMENT
PLANS;
NONGRAZING USES.—
‘‘(1) If a State natural resource or wildlife
agency, or nongovernmental organization or private
person in a cooperative agreement with a State nat-
ural resource or wildlife agency, is a holder of a
grazing permit or a lease and notifies the Secretary
concerned that such holder intends to refrain from
utilizing for livestock grazing some or all of the for-
age available for such purposes under such permit or
lease for an interval of at least 2 years for the pur-
pose of conservation or wildlife enhancement, the
Secretary shall place such forage on a nonuse status
for the interval specified by such holder at the time
of notification.
‘‘(2) Forage placed on a nonlivestock-use status
under this subsection shall not be available for do-
mestic livestock grazing under any permit or lease,
and the unavailability of such forage for livestock
grazing shall be taken into account by the Secretary
in connection with the preparation or revision of
plans for the management of the affected lands.
‘‘(3) The holder of a grazing permit or lease
who has utilized the option under this subsection of
having some or all of the forage covered by such per-
mit or lease placed on a nonuse status shall be given
the first priority, pursuant to this subsection, for re-
ceipt of a new permit or lease for the land covered
by such permit or lease after its expiration.
‘‘(4) Any fee otherwise applicable for utilization
by grazing of forage under a grazing permit or lease
shall be reduced to the extent that such forage is on
a nonuse status under this subsection.’’.
SEC. 5. PROHIBITION OF SUBLEASING.
Section 402 of the Federal Land Policy and Manage-
ment Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1752), as amended by sec-
tion 3 of this Act, is further amended by adding at the
end thereof the following:
‘‘(j) PROHIBITION OF SUBLEASING.—(1) Subleasing
is hereby prohibited.
‘‘(2) For purposes of this subsection the following
terms shall have the following meanings:
‘‘(A) The term ‘subleasing’ means the grazing,
on public lands or on National Forest lands covered
by a grazing permit, of domestic livestock which is
not both owned and controlled by the holder of the
grazing permit.
‘‘(B) The term ‘grazing permit’ means a permit
or lease of the type described in subsection (a) of
this section which has been issued by the Secretary
concerned pursuant to applicable law and which au-
thorizes for a specified term of years the grazing of
domestic livestock on public lands or lands within
National Forests in the 16 contiguous Western
States.
‘‘(3) To assure compliance with this subsection, the
Secretary concerned shall require each holder of a grazing
permit to file annually an affidavit that such holder owns
and controls all livestock which such holder is knowingly
allowing to graze on public lands or National Forest lands
covered by such holder’s grazing permit.
‘‘(4)(A) A grazing permit shall terminate 30 days
after the effective date of any lease, conveyance, transfer,
or other voluntary action on the part of a holder of a graz-
ing permit which has the effect of removing from the con-
trol of the holder of such permit the privately owned prop-
erty or part thereof with respect to which a grazing permit
was issued. No grazing pursuant to such permit shall be
permitted after such termination unless, prior to such ter-
mination, the party that has obtained or will obtain con-
trol of such property or part thereof has submitted an ap-
plication for a grazing permit based on such control, in
which case the Secretary concerned may allow grazing to
continue if such Secretary has reason to believe that such
application is likely to be approved. Such continued graz-
ing shall be for a period no longer than the remainder
of the grazing year during which such application was sub-
mitted.
‘‘(B)(i) A grazing permit held by a natural person
shall terminate upon the death of its holder, but the Sec-
retary may permit grazing to continue on lands covered
by such grazing permit for a period not to exceed 2 years
after the date of the death of such holder if necessary or
appropriate in order to facilitate the orderly management
of the deceased holder’s estate.
‘‘(ii) A grazing permit shall terminate upon an invol-
untary transfer from the control of its holder (including
a transfer by operation of law) of the privately owned
property (or portion thereof) with respect to which such
grazing permit was issued, but the Secretary may permit
grazing to continue on lands covered by such grazing per-
mit for a period not to exceed 1 year after such involun-
tary transfer, if necessary, in order to facilitate the re-
demption, sale, or other disposition of such property or
portion thereof.
‘‘(iii) After any continuation of grazing pursuant to
either clause (i) or (ii) any grazing on lands affected by
such continuation shall occur only subject to a new graz-
ing permit.
‘‘(iv) Any decision by the Secretary concerned to per-
mit a continuation of grazing pursuant to this paragraph
shall be discretionary, and this paragraph shall not be con-
strued as vesting in any party any right to graze livestock
on any lands owned by the United States or any right to
any grazing permit.
‘‘(5) Any holder of a grazing permit who knowingly
allows subleasing to occur on public lands or National For-
est lands covered by such permit shall forfeit to the United
States the dollar equivalent of any value in excess of the
grazing fee paid or payable to the United States with re-
spect to such permit, shall be disqualified from further ex-
ercise of any rights or privileges conferred by that permit
or any other grazing permit, and shall be subject to the
penalties specified in section 303 of this Act.
‘‘(6) Any person other than the holder of a grazing
permit who knowingly engages in subleasing on or after
the date of enactment of this subsection shall be subject
to the penalties specified in section 303 of this Act.’’.
