(1) ACCEPTANCE
OF
CONTRIBUTIONS.—The 
Secretary concerned shall accept any charitable con-
tribution (as defined in section 170(c) of the Inter-
nal Revenue Code of 1986) of an interest—
(A) in an unpatented mining claim located 
inside the boundaries of the management area; 
or 
(B) in any partnership, association, com-
pany, or corporation substantially all the value 
of which is attributable to unpatented mining 
claims located inside the boundaries of the 
management area. 
(2) ACCESS FOR VALUATION PURPOSES.—The 
Secretary concerned shall permit any donor of an in-
terest described in paragraph (1), or any agent of 
the donor, to access the unpatented mining claim 
and conduct sampling and exploration work nec-
essary to determine the fair market value of the 
claim if—
(A) the donor notifies the local Federal 
land manager in writing of the donor’s intent to 
access the unpatented mining claim for such 
purposes; and 
(B) the Secretary determines that the pro-
posed access, sampling, and exploration work
will not cause substantial impairment of the 
surface resources. 
(3) VALUATION METHOD IF ACCESS DENIED.—
If the Secretary concerned determines that a request 
for access under paragraph (2) to conduct sampling 
and exploration work necessary to determine the fair 
market value of an unpatented mining claim will 
cause substantial impairment of the surface re-
sources or otherwise fails to permit access within 30 
days after receipt of the written request for access 
under such paragraph, the fair market value of the 
claim for purposes of determining the amount of the 
contribution under paragraph (1) shall be based on 
an appraisal that relies upon noninvasive methods to 
determine the value. 
(c) LIMITATION ON USE OF CONDEMNATION.—No 
lands or interests in lands may be acquired by condemna-
tion for inclusion in the management area or to provide 
access to the management area, except as provided for by 
Public Law 92-400 (16 U.S.C. 460aa et seq.) and regula-
tions, in effect as of the date of the enactment of this

el, if the Secretary determines that such closure or prohi-
bition is the only reasonable means available for resource 
protection or public safety. 
(e) MITIGATION OF TRAIL CLOSURES.—If the Sec-
