16 U.S.C. § 410vvv — Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve

(a) Definitions: Defines "map" as the official May 2010 boundary map; "Monument" as the Oregon Caves National Monument created by Presidential Proclamation Number 876, dated July 12, 1909; "National Monument and Preserve" as the combined site named below; "National Preserve" as the new preserve land; "Secretary" as the Secretary of the Interior; "Secretary concerned" as the Secretary of Agriculture (for National Forest land) or the Secretary of the Interior (for Bureau of Land Management land); and "State" as Oregon. (b) Designations; land transfer; boundary adjustment: (1) The Monument and the new National Preserve are run as one National Park System unit, together called "Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve." The roughly 4,070 acres shown on the map as "Proposed Addition Lands" become the National Preserve. (2) Control over that new Preserve land moves from the Secretary of Agriculture to the Secretary, to be run as part of the combined site; the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest's boundaries are adjusted to remove this transferred land. (3) The combined site's boundary is also adjusted to remove about 4 acres in the City of Cave Junction, shown on the map as the "Cave Junction Unit." (4) The map must be kept on file and open for public inspection at National Park Service offices. (5) Any reference in a law, map, regulation, or other government record to "the Monument" now means "Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve." (c) Administration: (1) The Secretary must run the combined site under this section, the 1909 Presidential Proclamation, and the laws generally applicable to National Park System units, including the National Park Service Organic Act. (2) As soon as practical after December 19, 2014, the Secretary must update the Monument's fire management plan to cover the newly transferred land, and must carry out hazardous-fuel management following that updated plan. (3) Existing Forest Service contracts: (A) The Secretary must let any Forest Service stewardship or service contract signed as of December 19, 2014 be finished out, and must recognize the Secretary of Agriculture's authority to administer that contract until it's done. (B) All the contract's original terms stay in place for its full duration. (C) The Forest Service stays responsible for any liability tied to that contract. (4) Grazing: (A) Subject to (B), the Secretary may let livestock grazing in the National Preserve continue under permits or leases that existed as of December 19, 2014. (B) That grazing cannot exceed the level (measured in Animal Unit Months) that existed on December 19, 2014, and must follow applicable law, including National Park Service rules. (5) Fish and wildlife: The Secretary must allow hunting and fishing in the National Preserve under applicable federal and state law, except the Secretary may — after consulting Oregon's Department of Fish and Wildlife — set zones and time periods where no hunting or fishing is allowed, for public safety, administrative, or legal-compliance reasons. (d) Voluntary grazing lease or permit donation program: (1) Donation of lease or permit: (A) The relevant Secretary must accept a grazing lease or permit voluntarily given up by its holder, for the Big Grayback Grazing Allotment (in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest) or the Billy Mountain Grazing Allotment (on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management). (B) Once a lease or permit is given up this way, the Secretary must cancel it and make sure grazing on that land ends permanently. (2) Effect of donation: Anyone who gives up a grazing lease or permit (or part of one) this way is treated as having given up any claim to improvements made on that grazing land.
