SEC. 2. LAND EXCHANGE AND WILDERNESS DESIGNATION.

    (a) In General.--(1) Subject to conditions set forth in subsection 
(c), if the State of Alaska, in a manner consistent with this Act, 
offers to transfer to the United States the lands identified in 
paragraph (2) in exchange for the lands identified in paragraph (4), 
selected from the area described in section 3(b)(1), the Secretary of 
the Interior (in this Act referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall 
complete such exchange no later than 6 months after the issuance of a 
license to Gustavus Electric Company by the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (in this Act referred to as ``FERC''), in accordance with 
this Act. This land exchange shall be subject to the laws applicable to 
exchanges involving lands managed by the Secretary as part of the 
National Park System in Alaska and the appropriate process for the 
exchange of State lands required by State law.
    (2) The lands to be conveyed to the United States by the State of 
Alaska shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Secretary and the 
State of Alaska. Lands that will be considered for conveyance to the 
United States pursuant to the process required by State law are lands 
owned by the State of Alaska in the Long Lake area within Wrangell-St. 
Elias National Park and Preserve, or other lands owned by the State of 
Alaska.
    (3) If the Secretary and the State of Alaska have not agreed on 
which lands the State of Alaska will convey by a date not later than 6 
months after a license is issued pursuant to this Act, the United 
States shall accept, within 1 year after a license is issued, title to 
land having a sufficiently equal value to satisfy State and Federal 
law, subject to clear title and valid existing rights, and absence of 
environmental contamination, and as provided by the laws applicable to 
exchanges involving lands managed by the Secretary as part of the 
National Park System in Alaska and the appropriate process for the 
exchange of State lands required by State law. Such land shall be 
accepted by the United States, subject to the other provisions of this 
Act, from among the following State lands in the priority listed:

    529.94 acres, as shown on the plat of survey accepted June 9, 1922.
    (4) The lands to be conveyed to the State of Alaska by the United 
States under paragraph (1) are lands to be designated by the Secretary 
and the State of Alaska, consistent with sound land management 
principles, based on those lands determined by FERC with the 
concurrence of the Secretary and the State of Alaska, in accordance 
with section 3(b), to be the minimum amount of land necessary for the 
construction and operation of a hydroelectric project.
    (5) The time periods set forth for the completion of the land 
exchanges described in this Act may be extended as necessary by the 
Secretary should the processes of State law or Federal law delay 
completion of an exchange.
    (6) For purposes of this Act, the term ``land'' means lands, 
waters, and interests therein.
    (b) Wilderness.--(1) To ensure that this transaction maintains, 
within the National Wilderness Preservation System, approximately the 
same amount of area of designated wilderness as currently exists, the 
following lands in Alaska shall be designated as wilderness in the 
priority listed, upon consummation of the land exchange authorized by 
this Act and shall be administered according to the laws governing 
national wilderness areas in Alaska:

    (2) The specific boundaries and acreage of these wilderness 
designations may be reasonably adjusted by the Secretary, consistent 
with sound land management principles, to approximately equal, in sum, 
the total wilderness acreage deleted from Glacier Bay National Park and 
Preserve pursuant to the land exchange authorized by this Act.

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Site-Specific Agricultural Resource 
Management Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. REFERENCES.

    Except as otherwise specifically provided, whenever in this Act a 
section or other provision is amended, repealed, or referenced, such 
amendment, repeal, or reference shall be considered to be made to that 
section or other provision of the Soil Conservation and Domestic 
Allotment Act (16 U.S.C. 590a et seq.).

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) agricultural land users are required to develop and 
        implement an increasing number of plans that have conservation 
        and environmental benefits as a primary purpose;
            (2) within the Department of Agriculture, there are as many 
        as fifteen programs that provide for the development of such 
        plans, and currently some agricultural land users may have six 
        different conservation and environmentally-related plans in 
        effect with regard to their land;
            (3) future legislation may mandate additional requirements 
        for agricultural land users;
            (4) most plans are single purpose in nature, and 
        requirements imposed by one plan may conflict with the 
        purposes, objectives, or requirements of another plan;
            (5) the complexity of the planning process is such that it 
        is difficult for many agricultural land users to coordinate the 
        various requirements into their individual farming or ranching 
        operations;
            (6) there is a need to approach conservation and 
        environmental problems on agricultural land on a more rational 
        basis in order to promote practical and economically feasible 
        site-specific resource measures that take into consideration 
        the economic vitality of agricultural land units involved; and
            (7) to ensure consistency, all pertinent conservation and 
        environmental requirements on agricultural land should be 
        coordinated, through a single agency of the Government, into 
        one integrated resource management plan for the land unit.

SEC. 4. PURPOSE.

    (a) It is the purpose of this Act to--
            (1) assist agricultural land users in meeting conservation 
        and environmental requirements on such lands, while maintaining 
        viable farming or ranching operations;
            (2) provide that a single Federal agency, the Soil 
        Conservation Service, be responsible for working with other 
        governmental agencies and agricultural land users in the 
        development and implementation of integrated resource

        the single comprehensive plan developed by the Soil 
        Conservation Service for the land involved;
            ``(B) agreements entered into under subparagraph (A) may 
        provide for the manner in which cost-share or other assistance 
        available from the other agency with respect to a conservation 
        practice on agricultural land for which a single comprehensive
