The Secretary can renew a special recreation permit for the Wilderness Area, but only if it fits the Wilderness Act's rules. If it doesn't fit, the Secretary must try to modify the permit so the holder can keep some historic use, as long as that still follows the law.

The Secretary can renew a special recreational use permit that covers land in the Wilderness Area, as long as the Secretary decides the renewal fits the Wilderness Act. If renewing the permit as-is wouldn't fit the Wilderness Act, the Secretary must instead look for other ways to help the permit holder. This means modifying the permit so the holder can still get some use similar to their historic use — but only to the extent the Secretary decides that use still fits both the Wilderness Act and this subchapter.

The Secretary may renew a special recreational use permit applicable to lands included in the Wilderness Area to the extent that the Secretary determines that the permit is consistent with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.). If renewal is not consistent with the Wilderness Act, the Secretary shall seek other opportunities for the permit holder through modification of the permit to realize historic permit use to the extent that the use is consistent with the Wilderness Act and this subchapter, as determined by the Secretary.
