has substantially declined over the last 25 years.
(2) scientists should closely research and ana-
lyze all possible factors relating to such decline, in-
cluding the possible interactions between commercial
fishing and Steller sea lions and the localized deple-
tion hypothesis;
(3) the authority to manage commercial fish-
eries in Federal waters lies with the regional coun-
cils and the Secretary of Commerce (hereafter in
this section ‘‘Secretary’’) pursuant to the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(hereafter in this section ‘‘Magnuson-Stevens Act’’);
and

a manner consistent with the Alternatives contained
in the Biological Opinion, except as otherwise pro-
vided in this section. The Alternatives shall become

with all law, including the Magnuson-Stevens Act,
and consistent with the Alternatives to the maximum
extent practicable, subject to the other provisions of
this subsection.
(5) The harvest reduction requirement (‘‘Global
Control Rule’’) shall take effect immediately in any
2001 groundfish fishery in which it applies, but shall
not cause a reduction in the total allowable catch of
any fishery of more than 10 percent.
(6) In enforcing regulations for the 2001 fish-
eries, the Secretary, upon recommendation of the
North Pacific Council, may open critical habitat
where needed, adjust seasonal catch levels, and take
other measures as needed to ensure that harvest lev-
els are sufficient to provide income from these fish-
eries for small boats and Alaskan on-shore proc-
essors that is no less than in 1999.

SEC. 323. FORT IRWIN NATIONAL TRAINING CEN-
TER EXPANSION. (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the fol-
lowing findings:
(1) The National Training Center at Fort
Irwin, California, is the only instrumented training
area in the world suitable for live fire training of
heavy brigade-sized military forces and thus provides
the Army with essential training opportunities nec-
essary to maintain and improve military readiness
and promote national security.
(2) The National Training Center must be ex-
panded to meet the critical need of the Army for ad-
ditional training lands suitable for the maneuver of
large numbers of military personnel and equipment,
which is necessitated by advances in equipment, by
doctrinal changes, and by Force XXI doctrinal ex-
perimentation requirements.
(3) The lands being considered for expansion of
the National Training Center are home to the desert
tortoise and other species that are protected under
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and the Sec-
retary of Defense and the Secretary of the Interior,
in developing a plan for expansion of the National
Training Center, must provide for such expansion in
a manner that complies with the Endangered Spe-
cies Act of 1973, the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, and other applicable laws.
(4) In order for the expansion of the National
Training Center to be implemented on an expedited
basis, the Secretaries should proceed without delay
to define with specificity the key elements of the ex-
pansion plan, including obtaining early input regard-
ing national security requirements, Endangered Spe-
cies Act of 1973 compliance and mitigation, and Na-
tional Environmental Policy Act of 1969 compliance.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this section is to ex-
pedite the expansion of the National Training Center at
Fort Irwin, California, in a manner that is fully compliant
with environmental laws.
(c) 
PREPARATION
OF
PROPOSED
EXPANSION
PLAN.—
(1) PREPARATION
REQUIRED.—The Secretary
of the Army and the Secretary of the Interior (in
this section referred to as the ‘‘Secretaries’’) shall
jointly prepare a proposed plan for the expansion of
the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Cali-
fornia.
(2) SUBMISSION AND AVAILABILITY.—The plan
required by paragraph (1) (in this section referred
to as the ‘‘proposed expansion plan’’) shall be com-
pleted not later than 120 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act. When completed, the Secre-
taries shall make the proposed expansion plan avail-
able to the public and shall publish in the Federal
Register a ‘‘notice of availability’’ concerning the
proposed expansion plan.
(d) KEY
ELEMENTS
OF
PROPOSED
EXPANSION
PLAN.—
(1) JOINT REPORT.—Not later than 45 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Sec-
retaries shall submit to Congress a joint report that
identifies the key elements of the proposed expansion
plan.
(2) LANDS WITHDRAWAL AND RESERVATION.—
The proposed expansion plan shall include the with-
drawal and reservation of an appropriate amount of
public lands for—
(A) the conduct of combined arms military
training at the National Training Center;
(B) the development and testing of mili-
tary equipment at the National Training Cen-
ter;
(C) other defense-related purposes; and
(D) conservation and research purposes.
(3) CONSERVATION MEASURES.—The proposed
expansion plan shall also include a general descrip-
tion of conservation measures, anticipated to cost
approximately $75,000,000, that may be necessary
and appropriate to protect and promote the con-
servation of the desert tortoise and other endangered
or threatened species and their critical habitats in
designated wildlife management areas in the West
Mojave Desert. The conservation measures may
include—
(A) the establishment of one or more re-
search natural areas, which may include lands
both within and outside the National Training
Center;
(B) the acquisition of private and State
lands within the wildlife management areas in
the West Mojave Desert;
(C) the construction of barriers, fences,
and other structures that would promote the
conservation of endangered or threatened spe-
cies and their critical habitats;
(D) the funding of research studies; and
(E) other conservation measures.
(d) PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF EXPANSION PLAN.—
(1) REVIEW
REQUIRED.—Not later than 90
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the
Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service shall submit to the Secretaries a preliminary
review of the proposed expansion plan (as developed
as of that date). In the preliminary review, the Di-
rector shall identify, with as much specificity as pos-
sible, an approach for implementing the proposed ex-
pansion plan consistent with the Endangered Species
Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
(2) RELATION TO FORMAL REVIEW.—The pre-
liminary review under paragraph (1) shall not con-
stitute a formal consultation under section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1536),
but shall be used to assist the Secretaries in more
precisely defining the nature and scope of an expan-
sion plan for the National Training Center that is
likely to satisfy requirements of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 and to expedite the formal con-
sultation process under section 7 of such Act.
(3) CONSIDERATION
OF
PRELIMINARY
RE-
VIEW.—In preparing the proposed expansion plan,
the Secretaries shall take into account the content of
the preliminary review by the Director of the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service under paragraph
(1).
(e) DRAFT LEGISLATION.—The Secretaries shall sub-
mit to Congress with the proposed expansion plan a draft
of proposed legislation providing for the withdrawal and
reservation of public lands for the expansion of the Na-
tional Training Center. It is the sense of the Congress that
the proposed legislation should contain a provision that,
if enacted, would prohibit ground-disturbing military use
of the land to be withdrawn and reserved by the legislation
until the Secretaries have certified that there has been full
compliance with the appropriate provisions of the legisla-
tion, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and other applicable
laws.
(f ) CONSULTATION UNDER ENDANGERED SPECIES
ACT OF 1973.—The Secretaries shall initiate the formal
consultation required under section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1536) with respect to ex-
pansion of the National Training Center as soon as prac-
ticable and shall complete such consultation not later than
2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
(g) ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.—Not later than 6
months following completion of the formal consultation re-
quired under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of
1973 with respect to expansion of the National Training
Center, the Secretaries shall complete any analysis re-
quired under the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 with respect to the proposed expansion of the Na-
tional Training Center. The analysis shall be coordinated,
to the extent practicable and appropriate, with the review
of the West Mojave Coordinated Management Plan that,
as of the date of the enactment of this Act, is being under-
taken by the Bureau of Land Management.
(h) FUNDING.—
(1) IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSERVATION MEAS-
URES.—There are authorized to be appropriated
$75,000,000 to the Secretary of the Army for the
implementation of conservation measures necessary
for the final expansion plan for the National Train-
ing Center to comply with the Endangered Species
Act of 1973.
