in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary must run the Steens Mountain Wilderness Area under the Wilderness Act, treated as if that Act took effect on October 30, 2000. Boundaries along roads are set back from the centerline. Grazing continues under wilderness rules, except some permits are permanently retired and livestock excluded.

(a) General rule. The Secretary must administer the Wilderness Area following both this part and the general Wilderness Act. Anywhere the Wilderness Act refers to its own effective date, that reference is treated as meaning October 30, 2000, for this area instead.

(b) Wilderness boundaries along roads. Where a wilderness boundary runs along a road, the boundary is set back from the centerline of that road, following the Bureau of Land Management's own Wilderness Management Policy guidelines.

(c) Access to non-Federal lands. The Secretary must give owners of private land inside the Wilderness Area reasonable access to it, the same way section 460nnn–22(d) requires elsewhere in the Cooperative Management and Protection Area.

(d) Grazing. Except where section 460nnn–23(e)(2) says otherwise, livestock grazing here is managed under section 4(d)(4) of the Wilderness Act, the rest of this subchapter, and guidelines from a specific 1990 House committee report (House Report 101–405, Appendices A and B). But the Secretary must permanently retire all grazing permits that apply to certain lands in the Wilderness Area, shown on the map named in section 460nnn–11(a), and livestock is excluded from those particular lands going forward.
