public roads and related facilities necessary for access to
and economic development of the land interests in the Car-

Chugach Alaska Corporation pursuant to the Alaska Na-
tive Claims Settlement Act. The centerline of the easement
109
is depicted on the map entitled ‘‘Carbon Mountain Access

tivities not previously covered by such contracts, compacts
or grants. Nothing in this section precludes the continu-
ation of those specific activities for which self-determina-
tion and self-governance contracts, compacts and grants
currently exist or the renewal of contracts, compacts and
grants for those activities.
SEC. 330. (a) PROHIBITION ON TIMBER PURCHASER
ROAD CREDITS.—In financing any forest development
road pursuant to section 4 of Public Law 88–657 (16
U.S.C. 535, commonly known as the National Forest
Roads and Trails Act), the Secretary of Agriculture may
not provide for amortization of road costs in any contract
with, or otherwise provide effective credit for road con-
struction to, any purchaser of national forest timber or
other forest products.
(b) CONSTRUCTION
OF ROADS
BY TIMBER PUR-
CHASERS.—Whenever the Secretary of Agriculture makes
a determination that a forest development road referred
111
to in subsection (a) shall be constructed or paid for, in
whole or in part, by a purchaser of national forest timber
or other forest products, the Secretary shall include notice
of the determination in the notice of sale of the timber
or other forest products. The notice of sale shall contain,
or announce the availability of, sufficient information re-
lated to the road described in the notice to permit a pro-
spective bidder on the sale to calculate the likely cost that
would be incurred by the bidder to construct or finance
the construction of the road so that the bidder may reflect
such cost in the bid.
(c) SPECIAL ELECTION BY SMALL BUSINESS CON-
CERNS.—(1) A notice of sale referred to in subsection (b)
shall give a purchaser of national forest timber or other
forest products that qualifies as a ‘‘small business con-
cern’’ under the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et
seq.), and regulations issued thereunder, the option to
elect that the Secretary of Agriculture build the road de-
scribed in the notice. The Secretary shall provide the small
business concern with an estimate of the cost that would
be incurred by the Secretary to construct the road on be-
half of the small business concern. The notice of sale shall
also include the date on which the road described in the
notice will be completed by the Secretary if the election
is made.
112
(2) If the election referred to in paragraph (1) is
made, the purchaser of the national forest timber or other
forest products shall pay to the Secretary of Agriculture,
in addition to the price paid for the timber or other forest
products, an amount equal to the estimated cost of the
road which otherwise would be paid by the purchaser as
provided in the notice of sale. Pending receipt of such
amount, the Secretary may use receipts from the sale of
national forest timber or other forest products to accom-
plish the requested road construction.
(d) POST CONSTRUCTION HARVESTING.—In each
sale of national forest timber or other forest products re-
ferred to in this section, the Secretary of Agriculture is
encouraged to authorize harvest of the timber or other for-
est products in a unit included in the sale as soon as road
work for that unit is completed and the road work is ap-
proved by the Secretary.
(e) CONSTRUCTION STANDARD.—For any forest de-
velopment road that is to be constructed or paid for by
a purchaser of national forest timber or other forest prod-
ucts, the Secretary of Agriculture may not require the pur-
chaser to design, construct, or maintain the road (or pay
for the design, construction, or maintenance of the road)
to a standard higher than the standard, consistent with
applicable environmental laws and regulations, that is suf-
113
ficient for the harvesting and removal of the timber or
other forest products, unless the Secretary bears that part
of the cost necessary to meet the higher standard.
(f) TREATMENT OF ROAD VALUE.—For any forest
development road that is constructed or paid for by a pur-
chaser of national forest timber or other forest products,
the appraised value of the road construction shall be con-
sidered to be money received for purposes of the payments
required to be made under the sixth paragraph under the
heading ‘‘FOREST SERVICE’’ in the Act of May 23,
1908 (35 Stat. 260, 16 U.S.C. 500), and section 13 of
the Act of March 1, 1911 (35 Stat. 963; commonly known
as the Weeks Act; 16 U.S.C. 500). To the extent that the
appraised value of road construction determined under
this subsection reflects funds contributed by the Secretary
of Agriculture to build the road to a higher standard pur-
suant to subsection (e), the Secretary shall modify the ap-
praisal of the road construction to exclude the effect of
the Federal funds.
(g) EFFECTIVE DATE.—(1) This section and the re-
quirements of this section shall take effect (and apply
thereafter) upon the earlier of—
(A) March 1, 1999; and

ber sale contract, which is designed to imple-
ment this section and has been published for
public comment, is approved by the Secretary.

tional forest timber or other forest products for which no-
tice of sale is provided before the effective date of this
section, and any effective purchaser road credit earned
pursuant to a contract resulting from such a notice of sale
or otherwise earned before that effective date, shall con-
tinue to be subject to section 4 of Public Law 88–657 and
section 14(i) of the National Forest Management Act of
1976 (16 U.S.C. 472a(i)), and rules issued thereunder,
as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment

the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of
the Forest Service, shall administer the Recreation Area
in accordance with this section and (except as provided
in subsection (d)) the laws, rules, and regulations pertain-
ing to the National Forest System. Except as provided in
subsection (d), land within the Recreation Area shall have
the status of land acquired under the Act of March 1,
1911 (commonly known as the Weeks Act; 16 U.S.C. 515
et seq.). The Secretary shall manage the Recreation Area
for multiple use as a unit of the National Forest System,
in conjunction with the original mission statement of the
116
Recreation Area emphasizing outdoor recreation, environ-
mental education, fish and wildlife conservation, and re-
gional development. The Secretary shall conduct an inven-
tory of all cemeteries located in the Recreation Area and
ensure public access to such cemeteries for purposes of
burials, visitation and maintenance.
(d) FEES AND OTHER CHARGES.—The Secretary of

from charges, user fees, and natural resource utilization,
including timber and agricultural receipts, arising from
the Recreation Area shall be deposited in a special fund
in the Treasury to be known as the ‘‘Land Between the

Secretary, without subsequent appropriation, for the man-
agement of the Recreation Area, including the payment
of salaries and expenses.
(e) PAYMENTS.—Federal lands within the Recreation
Area shall be subject to the provisions for payments in
lieu of taxes under chapter 69 of title 31, United States
Code. Notwithstanding the transfer of jurisdiction, the
Tennessee Valley Authority shall continue to be respon-
117
sible for payments under section 13 of the Tennessee Val-
ley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831l).
(f) TRANSITION.—(1) The transfer of jurisdiction
under subsection (b) should be effected in an efficient and
cost-effective manner to minimize the disruption of the
personal lives of the Tennessee Valley Authority and For-
est Service employees affected by the transfer. Not later
than 30 days after the date on which this section takes
effect, the Secretary of Agriculture and the Tennessee Val-
ley Authority shall enter into a memorandum of agreement
to provide procedures for the orderly withdrawal or trans-
fer of officers and employees of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority, the transfer of property, fixtures, and facilities,
the interagency transfer of officers and employees, the
transfer of records, and such other transfer issues as the
Tennessee Valley Authority and the Secretary consider to
be appropriate. The agreement shall provide for a transi-
tion team consisting of Tennessee Valley Authority and
Forest Service employees.
(2) In order to provide for a cost-effective transfer
of the law enforcement responsibilities between the Forest
Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority, the law en-
forcement authorities designated under section 4A of the
Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831c–
3) are hereby granted to special agents and law enforce-
118
ment officers of the Forest Service. The law enforcement

nessee Valley Authority employees at the Recreation Area
shall be guaranteed employment by the Tennessee Valley
Authority for a minimum of five months following the date
on which this section takes effect. The Tennessee Valley
Authority shall provide affected employees of the Ten-
nessee Valley Authority at the Recreation Area with a sev-
erance/compensation package based on established prac-
tices of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Funding for the
activities prescribed for the Tennessee Valley Authority in
this section is to be derived only from one or more of the
following sources: nonpower fund balances and collections;
investment returns of the nonpower program; applied pro-
119
grammatic savings in the power and nonpower programs;

to fund the activities under this paragraph, notwithstand-
ing section 11, 14, 15, 29, or other provisions of the Ten-
nessee Valley Authority Act, as amended, or provisions of
the TVA power bond covenants. The savings from, and
revenue adjustments to, the TVA budget in fiscal year
1999 and thereafter shall be sufficient to fund the afore-
mentioned activities such that the net spending authority
and resulting outlays for these activities shall not exceed
$0 in fiscal year 1999 and thereafter. Within 30 days of
enactment of this Act, the Chairman of the TVA shall sub-
