SEC. 102. ADMINISTRATION OF WILDERNESS AREAS. 
(a) MANAGEMENT.—Subject to valid existing rights, 
each wilderness area designated by this title shall be ad-
ministered by the Secretary of the Interior or the Sec-
retary of Agriculture, whichever Secretary has administra-
tive jurisdiction over the area (in this title referred to as 
the ‘‘Secretary concerned’’), in accordance with this sec-
tion and the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), ex-
cept that any reference in the Wilderness Act to the effec-
tive date of the Wilderness Act (or any similar reference) 
shall be deemed to be a reference to the date of the enact-
ment of this Act. 
(b) MAP AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION.—Not later than 
three years after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
the Secretary concerned shall file a map and a legal de-
scription of each wilderness area designated by this title 
with the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of 
the Senate and the Committee on Resources of the House 
of Representatives. Such map and description shall have 
the same force and effect as if included in this title, except 
that the Secretary concerned may correct clerical and ty-
pographical errors in such maps and legal descriptions. 
Copies of the maps and legal descriptions shall be on file
and available for public inspection in an appropriate office 
of the Secretary concerned. 
(c) WILDERNESS CHARACTER.—As provided in sec-
tion 4(b) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(b)), the 
Secretary concerned shall be responsible for preserving the 
wilderness character of the wilderness areas designated by 
this title. All activities in the areas shall be subject to such 
regulations as the Secretary concerned considers necessary 
to fulfill the requirements of this title. 
(d) FIRE MANAGEMENT
AND RELATED ACTIVI-
TIES.—The Secretary concerned may take such measures 
in the wilderness areas designated by this title as nec-
essary in the control and prevention of fire, insects and 
diseases, as provided in section 4(d)(1) of the Wilderness 
Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(1)) and in accordance with the 
guidelines contained in the Report of the Committee on 
Interior and Insular Affairs to accompany H.R. 1437 of 
the 98th Congress (H. Rept. 98–40). Where a wilderness 
area is adjacent to or is in close proximity to inhabited 
areas, the Secretary concerned may take appropriate 
measures to control and prevent fire through Federal, 
State, or local agencies and jurisdictions. Such measures 
may include the use of mechanized and motorized equip-
ment for fire suppression, including aircraft and fire re-
tardant drops where necessary to protect public health and
safety or residential or commercial structures. Within one 
year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Sec-
retary concerned shall review existing policy to ensure that 
authorized approval procedures for any such measures 
permit a timely and efficient response in case of fires re-
quiring suppression activities in the wilderness areas des-
ignated by this title. If the wilderness area is near an in-
habited area and the fire hazard and risk are extreme, 
the Secretary concerned shall consider delegating the au-
thority to approve such fire suppression measures to the 
administrator of the Federal lands containing the wilder-
ness area. The Secretary concerned may also review, and 
when appropriate, delegate by written agreement primary 
fire fighting authority and related public safety activities 
to an appropriate State or local agency. 
(e) ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY.—The Secretary 
concerned shall provide adequate access to nonfederally 
owned land or interests in land within the boundaries of 
the wilderness areas designated by this title, which will 
provide the owner of such land or interest the reasonable 
use and enjoyment thereof. 
(f) MANAGEMENT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.—Nothing 
in this title shall enlarge or diminish the private property 
rights of non-Federal landowners with property within the 
boundaries of the wilderness areas designated by this title.
(g) HYDROLOGIC, METEROLOGIC, CLIMATOLOGICAL 
DEVICES, FACILITIES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.—
Nothing in this title shall be construed to prevent the in-
stallation and maintenance of hydrologic, meteorologic, or 
climatological devices or facilities and communication 
equipment associated with such devices, or any combina-
tion of the foregoing, or limited motorized access to such 
facilities when non-motorized access means are not reason-
ably available or when time is of the essence, where such 
a facility or when such access is essential to flood warning, 
flood control, water supply forecasting, or reservoir oper-
ation purposes. Nothing in this title shall be construed to 
restrict the use of helicopters or other aircraft by utilities 
in the vicinity of wilderness areas designated by this title. 
(h) MILITARY ACTIVITIES.—Nothing in this title 
shall preclude or restrict low-level overflights of military 
aircraft and air vehicles, military rotary wing environ-
mental training, testing and evaluation, the designation of 
new units of special use airspace, or the use or establish-
ment of military flight training routes over wilderness 
areas designated by this title. 
(i) HORSES.—Nothing in this title shall preclude 
horseback riding, or the entry of recreational saddle or 
pack stock into wilderness areas designated by this title.
(j) LIVESTOCK GRAZING.—Grazing of livestock and 
maintenance of previously existing facilities that are di-
rectly related to permitted livestock grazing activities in 
wilderness areas designated by this title, where established 
prior to the date of the enactment of this Act, shall be 
permitted to continue as provided in section 4(d)(4) of the 
Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(4) and section 108 of 
Public Law 96–560. 
(k) FISH AND WILDLIFE.—Nothing in this title shall 
affect hunting and fishing, under applicable State and 
Federal laws and regulations, within the boundaries of wil-
derness areas designated by this title. Nothing in this title 
shall be construed as affecting the jurisdiction or respon-
sibilities of the State of California with respect to wildlife 
and fish on the public lands in that State as provided in 
section 4(d)(7) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 
1133(d)(7)). 
(l) WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT.—In furtherance of the 
purposes and principles of the Wilderness Act, manage-
ment activities to maintain or restore fish and wildlife pop-
ulations and the habitats to support such populations may 
be carried out in wilderness areas designated by this title, 
when consistent with relevant wilderness management 
plans, in accordance with appropriate policies and guide-
lines.
(m) LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES.—Nothing in 
this title shall be construed as precluding or otherwise af-
fecting border operations, or other law enforcement activi-
ties by the Bureau of Border Security or United States 
Customs Service of the Department of Homeland Secu-
rity, the Drug Enforcement Administration, or other Fed-
eral, State and local law enforcement agencies in wilder-
ness areas designated by this title. 
(n) NATIVE AMERICAN USES AND INTERESTS.—In 
recognition of the past use of wilderness areas designated 
by this title by Native Americans for traditional cultural 
and religious purposes, the Secretary concerned shall en-
sure access to such wilderness areas by Native Americans 
for such traditional cultural and religious purposes. In im-
plementing this section, the Secretary concerned, upon the 
request of an Indian tribe or Indian religious community, 
shall temporarily close to the general public use of one 
or more specific portions of the wilderness area in order 
to protect the privacy of traditional cultural and religious 
activities in such areas by Native Americans. Any such 
closure shall be made to affect the smallest practicable 
area for the minimum period necessary for such purposes. 
Such access shall be consistent with the purpose and in-
tent of Public Law 95–341 (42 U.S.C. 1996; commonly
