(1) the National Forest System land included in 
the Pajarita Wilderness by the amendment made by 
section 2(a); and 
(2) the Tumacacori Highlands Wilderness des-
ignated by section 3(a). 
(b) ADMINISTRATION.—The Secretary of Agriculture 
shall manage the covered wilderness area in accordance 
with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) and this 
section, except that, with respect to a covered wilderness 
area, any reference in the Wilderness Act to the effective 
date of the Wilderness Act shall be deemed to be a ref-
erence to the date of the enactment of this Act. 
(c) VALID EXISTING RIGHTS.—Nothing in this sec-
tion shall affect any valid existing right. 
(d) BUFFER ZONES.—As provided in section 101(d) 
of the Arizona Wilderness Act of 1984 (Public Law 98– 
406; 98 Stat. 1488), Congress does not intend that des-
ignation of a covered wilderness area lead to the creation 
of protective perimeters or buffer zones around the cov-
ered wilderness area. The fact that nonwilderness activi-
ties or uses can be seen or heard from areas within a cov-
ered wilderness area shall not, of itself, preclude such ac-
tivities or uses up to the boundary of the covered wilder-
ness area.

common management actions throughout the area encom-
passing the covered wilderness areas. This Act recognizes 
the need to continue such management actions so long as 
such management actions are conducted in accordance 
with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) and ex-
