in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

People with grazing permits inside El Malpais National Monument as of December 31, 1987, that were due to end before December 31, 1997, could keep grazing until that date, under Secretary-set rules. No grazing is allowed in the monument starting January 1, 1998.

If land inside the monument's boundary was legally being used for grazing on December 31, 1987, under a fixed-term lease, permit, or license (a) issued by a federal department or agency, and (b) scheduled to end before December 31, 1997, then despite any other law, the Secretary must let the people holding that grazing right -- or their heirs -- keep grazing until December 31, 1997. The Secretary may set limits, conditions, or rules to make sure the range is managed properly. No grazing is allowed anywhere in the monument on or after January 1, 1998.
