IIA
103D CONGRESS
2D SESSION
H. R. 2473
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
MAY 19 (legislative day, MAY 16), 1994
Received; read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources
AN ACT
To designate certain National Forest lands in the State
of Montana as wilderness, to release other National For-
est lands in the State of Montana for multiple use man-
agement, 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 referred to as ‘‘The Montana Wil-
derness Act of 1994’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) Many areas of undeveloped National Forest
System lands in the State of Montana possess out-
standing natural characteristics which give them
high value as wilderness and will, if properly pre-
served, contribute as an enduring resource of wild
land for the benefit of the American people.
(2) Preserving areas in their natural roadless
condition is a vital component of protecting the
biodiversity of lands in Montana and securing and
maintaining habitat for threatened and endangered
species.
(3) The existing Department of Agriculture
Land and Resource Management Plans for Forest
System lands in the State of Montana have identi-
fied areas which, on the basis of their land form,
ecosystem, associated wildlife, and location will help
to fulfill the National Forest System’s share of a
quality National Wilderness Preservation System.
(4) Review and evaluation of roadless and unde-
veloped lands in the National Forest System in Mon-
tana have also identified those areas which should be
specially managed, deserve further study, or which
should be available for multiple uses other than wil-
derness, subject to the Forest Service’s land man-
agement planning process and the provisions of this
Act.
(5) Montanans and those interested in Mon-
tana’s wildlands have been fully involved in the for-
mulation of this wilderness proposal. That the wil-
derness designations recommended in this legislation
have been developed with the support of Montana
wilderness advocates and is therefore the product of
years of negotiations.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are to—
(1) designate certain National Forest System
lands in the State of Montana as components of the
National Wilderness Preservation System, in fur-
therance of the purposes of the Wilderness Act (16
U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), in order to preserve the wilder-
ness character of the land and the health and diver-
sity of native populations of fish, wildlife and plants
and to protect watersheds and wildlife habitat, pre-
serve scenic and historic resources, and promote sci-
entific research, primitive recreation, solitude, and
physical and mental challenge; and
(2) ensure that certain other National Forest
System lands in the State of Montana will be made
available for uses other than wilderness in accord-
HR 3309 RFS 
‘‘(C) In the case of a proposal to create a 
program activity, proposed performance meas-
ures for evaluating the effectiveness of the pro-
gram activity. 
‘‘(D) In the case of a proposal to substan-
tially change a program activity— 
‘‘(i) proposed performance measures 
for evaluating the effectiveness of the pro-
gram activity as proposed to be changed; 
or 
‘‘(ii) a proposed finding that existing 
performance 
measures 
will 
effectively 
evaluate the program activity as proposed 
to be changed. 
‘‘(2) REQUIREMENTS FOR RULES.—Except as 
provided in the 3rd sentence of section 553(b) of 
title 5, United States Code, the Commission may not 
adopt or amend a rule unless— 
‘‘(A) the specific language of the adopted 
rule or the amendment of an existing rule is a 
logical outgrowth of the specific language of a 
proposed rule or a proposed amendment of an 
existing rule included in a notice of proposed 
rulemaking, as described in subparagraph (B) 
of paragraph (1);
