BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT ACTIONS REGARDING GRAZING ON 
PUBLIC LANDS 
SEC. 122. (a) EXHAUSTION
OF
ADMINISTRATIVE
REVIEW 
REQUIRED.— 
(1) For fiscal years 2012 and 2013 only, a person may 
bring a civil action challenging a decision of the Bureau of 
Land Management concerning grazing on public lands (as 
defined in section 103(e) of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1702(e))) in a Federal 
district court only if the person has exhausted the administra-
tive hearings and appeals procedures established by the Depart-
ment of the Interior, including having filed a timely appeal 
and a request for stay. 
(2) An issue may be considered in the judicial review of 
a decision referred to in paragraph (1) only if the issue was 
raised in the administrative review process described in such 
paragraph. 
(3) An exception to the requirement of exhausting the 
administrative review process before seeking judicial review 
shall be available if a Federal court finds that the agency 
failed or was unable to make information timely available 
during the administrative review process for issues of material 
fact. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term ‘‘timely’’ 
means within 120 calendar days after the date that the chal-
lenge to the agency action or amendment at issue is received

OR LEASES.—

permits or leases authorizing grazing on public lands within 
the California Desert Conservation Area. With respect to each 
permit or lease donated under this paragraph, the Secretary 
shall terminate the grazing permit or lease, ensure a permanent 
end (except as provided in paragraph (2)), to grazing on the 
land covered by the permit or lease, and make the land avail-
able for mitigation by allocating the forage to wildlife use 
consistent with any applicable Habitat Conservation Plan, sec-
tion 10(a)(1)(B) permit, or section 7 consultation under the 
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 
(2) If the land covered by a permit or lease donated under 
paragraph (1) is also covered by another valid existing permit 
or lease that is not donated under such paragraph, the Sec-
retary of the Interior shall reduce the authorized grazing level 
on the land covered by the permit or lease to reflect the donation 
of the permit or lease under paragraph (1). To ensure that
H. R. 2055—229 
there is a permanent reduction in the level of grazing on 
the land covered by a permit or lease donated under paragraph 
(1), the Secretary shall not allow grazing use to exceed the 
authorized level under the remaining valid existing permit 
or lease that is not donated.
