I 114th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 326 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 13, 2015 Mr. Young of Alaska introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources A BILL To amend the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to allow the importation of polar bear trophies taken in sport hunts in Canada.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Restoration of the U.S.-Russia Polar Bear Conservation Fund Act of 2015 . 2. Findings The Congress finds the following: (1) The United States Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000 bears, up from as low as 5,000–10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. (2) A 2002 United States Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the polar bear populations may now be near historic highs . (3) A permit fee for importing polar bears will invigorate the public-private funding partnership for the United States-Russian Polar Bear Conservation Fund. (4) TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, has stated both that the global population of Polar Bears is not small and the species’ area of distribution is not restricted, and [t]rade does not appear to be a significant threat to the species. . TRAFFIC also recommended that the polar bear not be uplisted to Appendix 1 at the 16th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES). (5) The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)/Species Survival Commission (SSC) Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG), has stated that further trade restrictions on the polar bear are unlikely to confer a conservation benefit, and could have a negative impact on socioeconomic systems as well as domestic and international partnerships . (6) The International Union for Conservation of Nature has found that hunting is a form of wildlife use that, when well-managed, may assist in furthering conservation objectives by creating the revenue and economic incentives for the management and conservation of the target species and its habitat, as well as supporting local livelihoods . 3. Permits for importation of polar bear trophies The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 is amended— (1) in section 101(a)(3)(B) ( 16 U.S.C. 1371(a)(3)(B) ), by inserting or under section 104(c)(5) of this title after paragraph (5) of this subsection ; and (2) in section 102(b)(3) ( 16 U.S.C. 1372(b)(3) ), by inserting before the semicolon the following: , except that this paragraph does not prohibit the importation of polar bear parts under a permit issued under section 104(c)(5) of this title .
I 114th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 327 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 13, 2015 Mr. Young of Alaska introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources A BILL To amend the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to allow importation of polar bear trophies taken in sport hunts in Canada before the date the polar bear was determined to be a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Polar Bear Conservation and Fairness Act of 2015 . 2. Permits for importation of polar bear trophies taken in sport hunts in Canada Section 104(c)(5)(D) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 ( 16 U.S.C. 1374(c)(5)(D) ) is amended to read as follows: (D) (i) The Secretary of the Interior shall, expeditiously after the expiration of the applicable 30-day period under subsection (d)(2), issue a permit for the importation of any polar bear part (other than an internal organ) from a polar bear taken in a sport hunt in Canada to any person— (I) who submits, with the permit application, proof that the polar bear was legally harvested by the person before February 18, 1997; or (II) who has submitted, in support of a permit application submitted before May 15, 2008, proof that the polar bear was legally harvested by the person before May 15, 2008, from a polar bear population from which a sport-hunted trophy could be imported before that date in accordance with section 18.30(i) of title 50, Code of Federal Regulations. (ii) The Secretary shall issue permits under clause (i)(I) without regard to subparagraphs (A) and (C)(ii) of this paragraph, subsection (d)(3), and sections 101 and 102. Sections 101(a)(3)(B) and 102(b)(3) shall not apply to the importation of any polar bear part authorized by a permit issued under clause (i)(I). This clause shall not apply to polar bear parts that were imported before June 12, 1997. (iii) The Secretary shall issue permits under clause (i)(II) without regard to subparagraph (C)(ii) of this paragraph or subsection (d)(3). Sections 101(a)(3)(B) and 102(b)(3) shall not apply to the importation of any polar bear part authorized by a permit issued under clause (i)(II).

I 114th CONGRESS 1st Session H. R. 328 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 13, 2015 Mr. Young of Alaska introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources A BILL To empower federally recognized Indian tribes to accept restricted fee tribal lands, and for other purposes.

1. Short title This Act may be cited as the American Indian Empowerment Act of 2015 . 2. Empower tribes to accept restricted fee tribal lands (a) Conveyance of tribal trust lands to restricted fee tribal lands Notwithstanding any other provision of law, not later than 180 days after receipt by the Secretary of the Interior of a written request adopted by the governing body of a federally recognized Indian tribe, the Secretary shall, subject to a restriction imposed by the United States against alienation and taxation, convey to the Indian tribe all right, title, and interest held by the United States in land specifically requested by the Indian tribe which the United States held in trust for that Indian tribe. (b) Attributes of restricted fee tribal lands Any land held by a federally recognized Indian tribe subject to a restriction imposed by the United States against alienation and taxation, shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be— (1) Indian country as defined in section 1151 of title 18, United States Code; and (2) the Indian lands of that Indian tribe subject to the provisions of the Act of June 30, 1834 ( 25 U.S.C. 177 ; 4 Stat. 730). (c) Tribal authority over restricted fee tribal lands Notwithstanding the provisions of the Act of August 9, 1955 ( 25 U.S.C. 415 ; commonly known as the Long-term Leasing Act ), an Indian tribe may lease land subject to a restriction imposed by the United States against alienation and taxation, or grant an easement or right-of-way thereon, for any period of time without review and approval by the Secretary. (d) Tribal preemption authority over restricted fee tribal lands The laws of a federally recognized Indian tribe establishing a system of land tenure governing the use of land it holds, subject to a restriction imposed by the United States against alienation and taxation, shall preempt any provision of Federal law or regulation governing the use of such lands. Such tribal law shall be given preemptive effect only upon having been first published in the Federal Register. The Secretary of the Interior shall cause such tribal law to be published in the Federal Register not later than 120 days after receiving a copy of the tribal law from the Indian tribe. (e) Trust responsibility not diminished Nothing in this section shall be construed to diminish the Federal trust responsibility to any Indian tribe.
