TITLE 16--CONSERVATION

CHAPTER 5C--CONSERVATION PROGRAMS ON GOVERNMENT LANDS

SUBCHAPTER II--CONSERVATION PROGRAMS ON PUBLIC LANDS

Sec. 670h. Comprehensive plans for conservation and
rehabilitation programs

(a) Development by Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of
Agriculture; consultation with State agencies; prior written
approval of concerned Federal agencies

(1) The Secretary of the Interior shall develop, in consultation
with the State agencies, a comprehensive plan for conservation and
rehabilitation programs to be implemented on public land under his
jurisdiction and the Secretary of Agriculture shall do the same in
connection with public land under his jurisdiction.
(2) The Secretary of the Interior shall develop, with the prior
written approval of the Atomic Energy Commission, a comprehensive plan
for conservation and rehabilitation programs to be implemented on public
land under the jurisdiction of the Chairman and develop, with the prior
written approval of the Administrator, a comprehensive plan for such
programs to be implemented on public land under the jurisdiction of the
Administrator. Each such plan shall be developed after the Secretary of
the Interior makes, with the prior written approval of the Chairman or
the Administrator, as the case may be, and in consultation with the
State agencies, necessary studies and surveys of the land concerned to
determine where conservation and rehabilitation programs are most
needed.

(b) Development consistent with overall land use and management plans;
hunting, trapping, and fishing authorized in accordance with
applicable State laws and regulations

Each comprehensive plan developed pursuant to this section shall be
consistent with any overall land use and management plans for the lands
involved. In any case in which hunting, trapping, or fishing (or any
combination thereof) of resident fish and wildlife is to be permitted on
public land under a comprehensive plan, such hunting, trapping, and
fishing shall be conducted in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations of the State in which such land is located.

(c) Cooperative agreements by State agencies for implementation of
programs; modifications; contents; hunting, trapping and fishing
authorized in accordance with applicable State laws and
regulations; regulations

(1) Each State agency may enter into a cooperative agreement with--
(A) the Secretary of the Interior with respect to those
conservation and rehabilitation programs to be implemented under
this subchapter within the State on public land which is under his
jurisdiction;
(B) the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to those
conservation and rehabilitation programs to be implemented under
this subchapter within the State on public land which is under his
jurisdiction; and
(C) the Secretary of the Interior and the Chairman or the
Administrator, as the case may be, with respect to those
conservation and rehabilitation programs to be implemented under
this subchapter within the State on public land under the
jurisdiction of the Chairman or the Administrator; except that
before entering into any cooperative agreement which affects public
land under the jurisdiction of the Chairman, the Secretary of the
Interior shall obtain the prior written approval of the Atomic
Energy Commission and before entering into any cooperative agreement
which affects public lands under the jurisdiction of the
Administrator, the Secretary of the Interior shall obtain the prior
written approval of the Administrator.

Conservation and rehabilitation programs developed and implemented
pursuant to this subchapter shall be deemed as supplemental to wildlife,
fish, and game-related programs conducted by the Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture pursuant to other provisions
of law. Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as limiting the
authority of the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of
Agriculture, as the case may be, to manage the national forests or other
public lands for wildlife and fish and other purposes in accordance with
the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 (74 Stat. 215; 16 U.S.C.
528-531) or other applicable authority.
(2) Any conservation and rehabilitation program included within a
cooperative agreement entered into under this subsection may be modified
in a manner mutually agreeable to the State agency and the Secretary
concerned (and the Chairman or the Administrator, as the case may be, if
public land under his jurisdiction is involved). Before modifying any
cooperative agreement which affects public land under the jurisdiction
of the Chairman, the Secretary of the Interior shall obtain the prior
written approval of the Atomic Energy Commission and before modifying
any cooperative agreement which affects public land under the
jurisdiction of the Administrator, the Secretary of the Interior shall
obtain the prior written approval of the Administrator.
(3) Each cooperative agreement entered into under this subsection
shall--
(A) specify those areas of public land within the State on which
conservation and rehabilitation programs will be implemented;
(B) provide for fish and wildlife habitat improvements or
modifications, or both;
(C) provide for range rehabilitation where necessary for support
of wildlife;
(D) provide adequate protection for fish and wildlife officially
classified as threatened or endangered pursuant to section 1533 of
this title or considered to be threatened, rare, or endangered by
the State agency;
(E) require the control of off-road vehicle traffic;
(F) if the issuance of public land area management stamps is
agreed to pursuant to section 670i(a) of this title--
(i) contain such terms and conditions as are required under
section 670i(b) of this title;
(ii) require the maintenance of accurate records and the
filing of annual reports by the State agency to the Secretary of
the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture, or both, as the
case may be, setting forth the amount and disposition of the
fees collected for such stamps; and
(iii) authorize the Secretary concerned and the Comptroller
General of the United States, or their authorized
representatives, to have access to such records for purposes of
audit and examination; and

(G) contain such other terms and conditions as the Secretary
concerned and the State agency deem necessary and appropriate to
carry out the purposes of this subchapter.

A cooperative agreement may also provide for arrangements under which
the Secretary concerned may authorize officers and employees of the
State agency to enforce, or to assist in the enforcement of, section
670j(a) of this title.
(4) Except where limited under a comprehensive plan or pursuant to
cooperate agreement, hunting, fishing, and trapping shall be permitted
with respect to resident fish and wildlife in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations of the State in which such land is located on
public land which is the subject of a conservation and rehabilitation
program implemented under this subchapter.
(5) The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture,
as the case may be, shall prescribe such regulations as are deemed
necessary to control, in a manner consistent with the applicable
comprehensive plan and cooperative agreement, the public use of public
land which is the subject of any conservation and rehabilitation program
implemented by him under this subchapter.

provisions

Agreements entered into by State agencies under the authority of
this section shall not be deemed to be, or treated as, cooperative
agreements to which chapter 63 of title 31 applies.

Sec. 670i. Public land management area stamps; agreement between
State agencies and Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of
Agriculture requiring stamps for hunting, trapping, and fishing
on public lands subject to programs; conditions of agreement

(a) Any State agency may agree with the Secretary of the Interior
and the Secretary of Agriculture (or with the Secretary of the Interior
or the Secretary of Agriculture, as the case may be, if within the State
concerned all conservation and rehabilitation programs under this
subchapter will be implemented by him) that no individual will be
permitted to hunt, trap, or fish on any public land within the State
which is subject to a conservation and rehabilitation program
implemented under this subchapter unless at the time such individual is
engaged in such activity he has on his person a valid public land
management area stamp issued pursuant to this section.
(b) Any agreement made pursuant to subsection (a) of this section to
require the issuance of public land management area stamps shall be
subject to the following conditions:
(1) Such stamps shall be issued, sold, and the fees therefor
collected, by the State agency or by the authorized agents of such
agency.
(2) Notice of the requirement to possess such stamps shall be
displayed prominently in all places where State hunting, trapping,
or fishing licenses are sold. To the maximum extent practicable, the
sale of such stamps shall be combined with the sale of such State
hunting, trapping, and fishing licenses.
(3) Except for expenses incurred in the printing, issuing, or
selling of such stamps, the fees collected for such stamps by the
State agency shall be utilized in carrying out conservation and
rehabilitation programs implemented under this subchapter in the
State concerned. Such fees may be used by the State agency to
acquire lands or interests therein from willing sellers or donors to
provide public access to program lands that have no existing public
access for enhancement of outdoor recreation and wildlife
conservation: Provided, That the Secretary of Agriculture and the
Secretary of the Interior maintain such access, or ensure that
maintenance is provided for such access, through or to lands within
their respective jurisdiction.
(4) The purchase of any such stamp shall entitle the purchaser
thereof to hunt, trap, and fish on any public land within such State
which is the subject of a conservation or rehabilitation program
implemented under this subchapter except to the extent that the
public use of such land is limited pursuant to a comprehensive plan
or cooperative agreement; but the purchase of any such stamp shall
not be construed as (A) eliminating the requirement for the purchase
of a migratory bird hunting stamp as set forth in section 718a of
this title, or (B) relieving the purchaser from compliance with any
applicable State game and fish laws and regulations.
(5) The amount of the fee to be charged for such stamps, the age
at which the individual is required to acquire such a stamp, and the
expiration date for such stamps shall be mutually agreed upon by the
State agency and the Secretary or Secretaries concerned; except that
each such stamp shall be void not later than one year after the date
of issuance.
(6) Each such stamp must be validated by the purchaser thereof
by signing his name across the face of the stamp.
(7) Any individual to whom a stamp is sold pursuant to this
section shall upon request exhibit such stamp for inspection to any
officer or employee of the Department of the Interior or the
Department of Agriculture, or to any other person who is authorized
to enforce section 670j(a) of this title.

programs are implemented by both the Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture in the State, the Secretaries shall mutually
agree, on such basis as they deem reasonable, on the proportion of such
fees that shall be applied by the State agency to their respective
programs.''
