This section applies the Wilderness Act's rules to the wilderness areas named in this law, using December 31, 1987 as the Act's starting date here. It lets livestock grazing that already existed before that date keep going, under reasonable rules that match Congress's intent for grazing in wilderness.

(a) The Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, must manage each wilderness area created by this law "subject to valid existing rights" — meaning rights people already had keep working. Management must follow the Wilderness Act's rules for wilderness areas. Wherever those rules refer to the Wilderness Act's effective date, this law says to use December 31, 1987, instead. (b) Livestock grazing that was already happening in these wilderness areas before December 31, 1987, is allowed to continue. The Secretary may set reasonable regulations, policies, and practices for that grazing. But those rules must fully match what Congress intended about grazing in wilderness areas, as expressed in the Wilderness Act and in section 108 of Public Law 96–560.

(a)

Subject to valid existing rights, each wilderness area designated under this subchapter shall be administered by the Secretary, through the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, in accordance with the provisions of the Wilderness Act [16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.] governing areas designated by that Act as wilderness, except that any reference in such provisions to the effective date of the Wilderness Act shall be deemed to be a reference to December 31, 1987.

(b)

Within the wilderness areas designated by this subchapter, the grazing of livestock, where established prior to December 31, 1987, shall be permitted to continue subject to such reasonable regulations, policies, and practices as the Secretary deems necessary, as long as such regulations, policies, and practices fully conform with and implement the intent of Congress regarding grazing in such areas as such intent is expressed in the Wilderness Act [16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.] and section 108 of Public Law 96–560 (16 U.S.C. 1133 note).
