submitted 24 years ago by Pub. L. 107-216 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 111 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets the Secretary study whether James Peak Protection Area land in Colorado should become official wilderness. Nothing here blocks recommending such land to Congress. A formal evaluation happens during the next Arapaho/Roosevelt forest plan revision.

(a) In general Nothing in this Act limits or restricts the Secretary's authority to evaluate whether Protection Area land is suitable for the National Wilderness Preservation System, or to recommend such inclusion to Congress. (b) Evaluation of certain lands When the Arapaho/Roosevelt National Forest's land and resources management plan is next revised after August 21, 2002, the Secretary must evaluate whether the land managed under the special-interest-area rule described in section 539l(d)(1)(F) of this title is suitable for the National Wilderness Preservation System, and must make recommendations to Congress about including it.
