[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Alaska Federal Lands Management 
Demonstration Project''.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS; PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds and declares the following:
            (1) The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (16 
        U.S.C. 3101 et seq.) established new and expanded units of the 
        National Park System and the National Wildlife System in many 
        areas of Alaska. The purposes of these conservation system 
        units were, among other purposes, to protect habitat for fish 
        and wildlife, to conserve fish and wildlife populations in 
        their natural state, to provide continued opportunity for 
        subsistence uses by local residents, and to protect 
        archaeological sites associated with Native cultures.
            (2) Many rural Alaskan communities are in close proximity 
        to conservation system lands, and the purposes of these units 
        are uniquely relevant to the culture and ways of Native 
        Alaskans and other residents of rural Alaskan communities. 
        Congress recognized this close relationship in sections 1306, 
        1307 and 1308 of the Alaska National Interest Lands 
        Conservation Act, which directed the Secretary of Interior to 
        establish programs whereby Native lands were given preference 
        for the siting of conservation service unit facilities, Native 
        corporations and local residents were given preference for the 
        provision of visitor services, and local residents were given 
        preferences for employment. Despite these provisions, little 
        progress has been made in increasing related employment 
        opportunities for Native Alaskan and other local residents.
            (3) In much of rural Alaska, Indian tribes and tribal 
        organizations have a long history of contracting to operate 
        Federal programs and provide Federal services to resident 
        Alaskan Natives and have demonstrated the capacity to provide 
        other kinds of Federal programs and services.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this demonstration project are to 
design innovative management strategies that will lead to greater 
efficiency in conservation system unit management, expand Native 
contracting opportunities, increase local employment, and further the 
unique purposes of these units as they relate to subsistence practices, 
Alaska Native cultures, and the preservation of fish and wildlife 
habitat and populations.

SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION OF DEMONSTRATION PROJECT.

    The Secretary of the Interior shall, for a period not to exceed 5 
years following the date of the enactment of this Act, conduct an 
Alaska Federal Lands Management Demonstration Project.

SEC. 4. ALASKA FEDERAL LANDS MANAGEMENT DEMONSTRATION PROJECT.

    (a) Participation.--The Secretary shall select, upon request and in 
a manner to achieve geographic representation, not less than 6 eligible 
Alaska Native tribes or tribal organizations per year to participate in 
the Demonstration Project in fiscal years 2000 and 2001.
    (b) Eligibility.--To be eligible to participate in the 
Demonstration Project, each Indian tribe or tribal organization shall--
            (1) request participation by resolution or other official 
        action of the governing body of the tribal organization;
            (2) demonstrate financial and management stability and 
        capability;
            (3) demonstrate significant use of or dependency upon the 
        relevant conservation system unit or other public land unit for 
        which programs, functions, services, and activities are 
        requested to be placed under contract;
            (4) where the Secretary receives a request to contract 
        specific conservation system unit programs, services, 
        functions, and activities, or portions thereof, from more than 
        1 Indian tribe or tribal organization meeting the criteria set 
        forth in paragraphs (1) through (3), the Secretary shall apply 
        the priority selection criteria applied by the Juneau Area 
        Bureau of Indian Affairs for contracting pursuant to the Indian 
        Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. If, after 
        applying such criteria, there remains more than one eligible 
        participant and such participants have overlapping requests to 
        negotiate and contract for the same programs, services, 
        functions, and activities, or portions thereof, the Secretary 
        may require such Indian tribes or organizations to agree which 
        entity shall have the ability to contract, or to submit a joint 
        request prior to entering into negotiations.
    (c) Contracts.--
            (1) In general.--Upon request, the Secretary shall 
        negotiate and enter into a contract with each participating 
        Indian tribe or tribal organization to plan, conduct and 
        administer requested programs, services, functions and 
        activities, or portions thereof, related to the administration 
        of a conservation system unit or other public land unit that is 
        substantially located within the geographic region of the 
        respective Indian tribe or tribal organization.
            (2) Technical support.--Contracts authorized by this Act 
        shall include, at the request of the Indian tribe or tribal 
        organization, the operation and support of the regional 
advisory councils, biological research, harvest monitoring, and other 
technical research related to conservation and allocation actions by

        participating Indian tribes or tribal organizations, the 
        Secretary shall initiate and conclude negotiations, unless an 
        alternative negotiation and implementation schedule is 
        otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties. The declination 
        and appeals provisions of the Indian Self-Determination and

        and Education Assistance Act shall be available for inclusion 
        in a contract entered into under this Act. If any provisions of 
        the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act are 
        incorporated they shall have the same force and effect as if 
        set out in full in this Act and shall apply notwithstanding any 
        other provision of law. The parties may include such other 
        terms and conditions as are mutually agreed to and not 
        otherwise contrary to law.
            (2) Audit.--Contracts entered into under this Act shall 
        provide for a single-agency audit report to be filed as 
        required by chapter 75 of title 31, United States Code.
            (3) Transfer of employees.--Any career Federal employee

        separated from Federal service by such transfer. 
        Intergovernmental Personnel Actions may be used to transfer 
        supervision of such employees to the contracting Indian tribe 
        or tribal organization. Such transferred employees shall be 
        given priority placement for any available position within 
        their respective agency, notwithstanding any priority 
        reemployment lists, directives, rules, regulations or other 
        orders from the Department of the Interior, the Office of

Secretary, by mutual agreement, shall agree to an alternate 
implementation schedule.
    (g) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the close of fiscal years 
2000 and 2001 and the end of this Demonstration Project, the Secretary 
shall present to the Congress detailed reports, including a narrative, 
findings, and conclusions on the costs and benefits of the 
Demonstration Project. The reports shall identify remaining 
institutional and legal barriers to the contracting of conservation 
system unit management to Alaska Native entities and shall contain 
suggestions for improving, continuing, and expanding the Demonstration

        visitor services unless an agreement is reached with the most 
        directly affected Alaskan Native corporations to allow such 
        services to be included in the contract. Such contracts shall 
        not otherwise repeal, alter, or otherwise modify the any other
