SEC. 302. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF WILDERNESS 
AREAS. 
(a) APPLICATION OF WILDERNESS ACT.—Subject to 
valid existing rights, the wilderness areas designated by 
section 301 shall be managed by the Secretary concerned 
in accordance with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131

any reference in the Wilderness Act to the effective date 
of the Wilderness Act shall be deemed to be a reference 
to the date of the enactment of this Act, and any reference 
in the Wilderness Act to the Secretary of Agriculture shall 
be deemed to be a reference to the Secretary concerned.
(b) CONSISTENT INTERPRETATION
TO
THE PUB-
LIC.—Although the wilderness areas designated by section 
301 consist of National Forest System land under the ju-
risdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture and public land 
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, the 
Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior 
shall collaborate to assure that the wilderness areas are 
interpreted to the public as an overall complex tied to-
gether by common location in the Boulder-White Cloud 
Mountains and common identity with the natural and cul-
tural history of the State of Idaho and its Native Amer-
ican and pioneer heritage. 
(c) COMPREHENSIVE WILDERNESS MANAGEMENT 
PLAN.—Not later than three years after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture and 
Secretary of the Interior shall collaborate to develop a 
comprehensive wilderness management plan for the wil-
derness areas designated by section 301. The completed 
management plan shall be submitted to the Committee on 
Resources of the House of Representatives and the Com-
mittee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. 
(d) FIRE, INSECTS, AND DISEASES.—Within the wil-
derness area designated by section 301, the Secretary con-
cerned may take such measures as the Secretary con-
cerned determines to be necessary for the control of fire,
insects, and diseases, subject to such conditions as the 
Secretary concerned considers desirable, as provided in 
section 4(d)(1) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 
1131(d)(1)). 
(e) WILDERNESS TRAILS AND TRAILHEADS.—
(1) CONSTRUCTION OF NEW TRAILHEAD.—The 
Secretary concerned shall construct a new trailhead 
for nonmotorized users and improve access to the 
Wickiup Trail (#684) and at the Big Boulder Trail-
head to separate motorized/mechanized users from 
nonmotorized/mechanized users. 
(2) INCLUSION OF ACCESSIBLE TRAILS.—The 
Secretary concerned may establish wheelchair acces-
sible trails into the wilderness areas designated by 
section 301, including the Bowery Creek Guard Sta-
tion along the West Fork of the East Fork of the 
Salmon River. 
(f) TREATMENT OF EXISTING CLAIMS AND PRIVATE 
LANDS.—Nothing in this title is intended to affect the 
rights or interests in real property, patented mining 
claims, or valid claims or prevent reasonable access for 
the development and use of valid mineral rights. The Sec-
retary concerned may enter into negotiations with the 
holder of a patented claim or valid claim located in a wil-
derness area designated by section 301 for the voluntary 
relinquishment of the claim. 
(g) GRAZING.—Grazing of livestock in a wilderness 
area designated by section 301, where established before 
the date of the enactment of this Act, shall be adminis-
tered in accordance with the provisions of section 4(d)(4) 
of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(4)), section 108 
of Public Law 96–560, and section 101(f) of Public Law 
101–628, and in accordance with the guidelines set forth 
in Appendix A of House Report 96–617 of the 96th Con-
gress and House Report 101–405 of the 101st Congress. 
(h) COMMERCIAL OUTFITTERS
AND SADDLE
AND 
PACK STOCK.—Nothing in this title shall preclude horse-
back riding or the entry of recreational saddle or pack 
stock into the wilderness areas designated by section 301, 
including when such entry is made by commercial outfit-
ters. 
SEC. 303. INCORPORATION OF ACQUIRED LANDS AND IN-
TERESTS. 
Any land or interest in land located inside the bound-
aries of a wilderness area designated by section 301 that 
is acquired by the United States after the date of the en-
actment of this Act shall be added to and administered 
as part of the wilderness area.
SEC. 304. ADJACENT MANAGEMENT. 
(a) NO
PROTECTIVE
PERIMETERS
OR
BUFFER 
ZONES.—Congress does not intend for the designation of 
the wilderness areas by section 301 to lead to the creation 
of protective perimeters or buffer zones around any such 
wilderness area. 
(b) NONWILDERNESS ACTIVITIES.—The fact that 
nonwilderness activities or uses outside of a wilderness 
area designated by section 301 can be seen or heard from 
inside of the wilderness area shall not preclude the conduct 
of those activities or uses outside the boundaries of the 
wilderness area. 
SEC. 305. WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT. 
Consistent with section 4 of the Wilderness Act (16 
U.S.C. 1133), nothing in this title precludes a Federal, 
State, or local agency from conducting wildfire manage-
ment operations, including operations using aircraft or 
mechanized equipment, to manage wildfires in the wilder-
ness areas designated by section 301. 
SEC. 306. WATER RIGHTS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The lands designated as wilderness areas by 
section 301 are located at the headwaters of the 
streams and rivers on those lands, with few, if any, 
actual or proposed water resource facilities located 
upstream from such lands and few, if any, opportu-
nities for diversion, storage, or other uses of water 
occurring outside such lands that would adversely 
affect the wilderness values of such lands. 
(2) The lands designated as wilderness areas by 
section 301 are not suitable for use for development 
of new water resource facilities or for the expansion 
of existing facilities. 
(3) Therefore, it is possible to provide for prop-
er management and protection of the wilderness 
value of the lands designated as wilderness areas by 
section 301 in ways different from the ways utilized 
in other laws designating wilderness areas. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this section is to pro-
tect the wilderness values of the lands designated as wil-
derness areas by section 301 by means other than a feder-
ally reserved water right. 
(c) STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this 
title—
(1) shall constitute, or be construed to con-
stitute, either an express or implied reservation by 
the United States of any water or water rights with 
respect to the wilderness areas designated by section 
301; 
(2) shall affect any water rights in the State of 
Idaho existing on the date of the enactment of this
States shall fund, assist, authorize, or issue a license 
or permit for the development of any new water re-
source facility inside any of the wilderness areas des-
ignated by section 301. 
(2) DEFINITION.—In this subsection, the term 
‘‘water resource facility’’ means irrigation and 
pumping facilities, reservoirs, water conservation 
works, aqueducts, canals, ditches, pipelines, wells, 
hydropower projects, and transmission and other an-
cillary facilities, and other water diversion, storage, 
and carriage structures. 
SEC. 307. WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT. 
(a) STATE JURISDICTION.—In accordance with sec-
tion 4(d)(7) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)(7)), 
nothing in this title affects or diminishes the jurisdiction 
of the State of Idaho with respect to fish and wildlife man-
agement, including the regulation of hunting, fishing, and 
trapping, in the wilderness areas designated by section 
301. 
(b) MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES.—In furtherance of 
the purposes and principles of the Wilderness Act, man-
agement activities to maintain or restore fish and wildlife 
populations and the habitats to support such populations 
may be carried out within wilderness areas designated by 
section 301 where consistent with relevant wilderness
management plans, in accordance with appropriate poli-
cies such as those set forth in Appendix B of House Re-
port 101–405 of the 101st Congress, including the occa-
sional and temporary use of motorized vehicles, if such 
use, as determined by the Secretary concerned is the min-
imum impact necessary to reasonably accomplish the task. 
(c) USE
OF AIRCRAFT.—Consistent with section 
4(d)(1) of the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1133(d)) and 
in accordance with appropriate policies such as those set 
forth in Appendix B of House Report 101–405 of the 
101st Congress, the State of Idaho may continue to use 
aircraft, including helicopters, to survey, capture, trans-
plant, monitor, and manage bighorn sheep, mountain 
goats, wolves, and grizzly bears. 
(d) HUNTING, FISHING, AND TRAPPING.—Nothing in 
this title shall affect hunting, fishing, and trapping, under 
applicable State and Federal laws and regulations, in the 
wilderness areas designated by section 301. The Secretary 
concerned may designate, by regulation in consultation 
with the appropriate State agency (except in emergencies), 
areas in which, and establish periods during which, for 
reasons of public safety, administration, or compliance 
with applicable laws, no hunting, fishing, or trapping will 
be permitted in the wilderness areas.
SEC. 308. NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS 
USES. 
Nothing in this title shall be construed to diminish 
the rights of any Indian tribe. Nothing in this title shall 
be construed to diminish tribal rights regarding access to 
Federal lands for tribal activities, including spiritual, cul-
tural, and traditional food-gathering activities. 
SEC. 309. MILITARY OVERFLIGHTS. 
Nothing in this title restricts or precludes—
(1) low-level overflights of military aircraft over 
the wilderness areas designated by section 301, in-
cluding military overflights that can be seen or 
heard within the wilderness areas; 
(2) flight testing and evaluation; or 
(3) the designation or creation of new units of 
special use airspace, or the establishment of military 
flight training routes, over the wilderness areas. 
SEC. 310. WILDERNESS REVIEW. 
(a) NATIONAL FORESTS.—Section 5 of Public Law 
92–400 (16 U.S.C. 460aa–4), which required a review of 
the undeveloped and unimproved portion or portions of the 
Sawtooth National Recreation Area established by that 
Act as to suitability or nonsuitability for preservation as 
part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, is 
repealed. 
(b) PUBLIC LANDS.—
(1) FINDING.—Congress finds that, for the pur-
pose of section 603 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1782), the 
public land administered by the Bureau of Land 
Management in the following areas have been ade-
quately studied for wilderness designation: 
(A) The Jerry Peak Wilderness Study 
Area. 
(B) The Jerry Peak West Wilderness 
Study Area. 
(C) The Corral-Horse Basin Wilderness 
Study Area. 
(D) The Boulder Creek Wilderness Study 
Area. 
(2) RELEASE.—Any public land described in 
paragraph (1) that is not designated as wilderness 
by this title—
(A) is no longer subject to section 603(c) 
of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1782(c)); and 
(B) shall be managed in accordance with 
land management plans adopted under section 
202 of that Act (43 U.S.C. 1712).
TITLE IV—WAIVER OF GRAZING 
PERMITS 
SEC. 401. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Grazing allotments on the lands designated 
as wilderness by title III, and on nearby Federal 
lands, have been reduced repeatedly by Forest Serv-
ice and other Federal agency decisions reflecting 
changes in the management of such lands. 
(2) Future management changes for these lands 
directed to the watershed recovery for the purposes 
of restoration of endangered fish populations may 
result in additional grazing restrictions. 
(3) Many of the ranching families who have 
used these lands have found themselves unable to 
survive economically or to recapture lost economic 
opportunities as a consequence of the location of 
their ranching operations. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this title is to protect 
the environmental integrity of the lands designated as wil-
derness by title III and to offer economic options for tradi-
tional users of such lands who have been adversely im-
pacted by past changes, and will be adversely impacted 
by future changes, in the management of such lands.
SEC. 402. VOLUNTARY GRAZING PERMIT WAIVER PRO-
GRAM. 
(a) ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION.—Only persons 
that held, on September 30, 2004, a valid grazing permit 
located in whole or in part in the Bolder-White Cloud 
Management Area, a wilderness area designated by title 
III, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, or the water-
shed of the East Fork Salmon River shall be eligible to 
participate in the voluntary grazing permit waiver pro-
gram under this title. 
(b) NOTICE OF PARTICIPATION.—If a person de-
scribed in subsection (a) desires to participate in the vol-
untary grazing permit waiver program under this title, the 
person shall notify the Federal agency from which the per-
son obtained the permit, in writing, not later than one 
year after the date of the enactment of this Act, of the 
voluntary decision of the person to participate in the pro-
gram in exchange for compensation under section 403. 
Nothing in this subsection prevents a person described in 
subsection (a) from waiving, at any time, a grazing permit 
without compensation. 
(c) WAIVER.—In the notification submitted under 
subsection (b), the person shall agree to waive the valid 
grazing permit authorizing livestock grazing on grazing al-
lotments located in whole or in part on lands described 
in subsection (a). The waiver shall take effect on the date
the person receives the compensation provided under sec-
tion 403, the date the person makes the waiver by dona-
tion, or the date the person receives appropriate com-
pensation from a third party, whichever occurs first. Not-
withstanding any other provision of law, a person who 
waives a permit under this section shall be deemed to have 
waived any claim to all range developments on the subject 
grazing allotment or allotments. 
(d) CANCELLATION.—Not later than 30 days after 
receiving a waiver notification under subsection (b), the 
Federal agency shall cancel the permitted grazing on the 
Federal land in the allotments covered by the notification. 
Upon cancellation, grazing permits shall be prohibited in 
the areas where permits were waived, and no future man-
agement allocations for grazing shall be permitted. 
(e) TREATMENT OF VACANT ALLOTMENTS.—Any va-
cant, unallocated grazing allotments in existence on lands 
described in subsection (a) shall not be made available to 
any person after the date of the enactment of this Act. 
SEC. 403. COMPENSATION. 
(a) ELIGIBILITY AND AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION.—
The Federal agency may make a payment to permittees 
described in subsection (a) of section 402 who waive graz-
ing permits as provided in subsection (b) of such section 
according to a schedule of payments prepared jointly by
such agencies and filed with the Committee on Resources 
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. The total 
amount available for such payments is $7,000,000. If a 
permittee is in arrears of Federal grazing fees, the amount 
of fees in arrears shall be deducted from the amount of 
compensation otherwise due the permittee under this sub-
section. 
(b) EXCEPTIONS.—Compensation shall not be pro-
vided under this section if the permittee waives the permit 
by donation. The amount of any compensation the per-
mittee receives from a third party for the waiver of the 
permit shall be deducted from the amount of compensation 
otherwise due the permittee under subsection (a). 
SEC. 404. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. 
Nothing in this title shall be construed to affect the 
authority of a Federal agency to otherwise modify or ter-
minate grazing permits or leases without compensation, 
except that nothing in this title shall be construed to au-
thorize the use of eminent domain for such purpose. Noth-
ing in this title shall be construed to create a property 
right in any grazing permit or lease on Federal lands or 
to establish a precedent for future grazing permit buyout 
programs.
