on parcels of National Forest System land (as defined in the
Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of

involving conflicts between bighorn sheep and domestic sheep
grazing on public lands (as defined in section 103 of the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1702)), the
Bureau of Land Management may only modify or cancel domestic
sheep grazing permits after consulting with the appropriate State
fish and game agency. However, if the State in question has an
approved State Wildlife Management Plan that addresses, with
specificity, bighorn sheep management, then the Bureau of Land
Management modification or cancellation of permits in that State
shall conform to the bighorn sheep management objectives in the
State Wildlife Management Plan, unless conformance would be
inconsistent with Federal statute or regulation. The Bureau of
Land Management shall be bound by the requirements of this
subsection until September 30, 2012.
(d) VOLUNTARY CLOSURE OF ALLOTMENTS.—Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the voluntary closure of existing
domestic sheep allotments when the closure is agreed to in writing
between the permittee and the Secretary of the Interior or the
Secretary of Agriculture and is carried out for the purpose of
reducing conflicts between domestic sheep and bighorn sheep.
(e) WAIVER OF GRAZING PERMITS AND LEASES.—The Secretary
of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture may accept the
voluntary waiver of any valid existing lease or permit authorizing
grazing on National Forest System land described in subsection
(a) or public lands described in subsection (c). If the grazing permit
or lease for a grazing allotment is only partially within the area
of potential domestic sheep and bighorn sheep contact, the affected
permittee may elect to waive only the portion of the grazing permit
or lease that is within that area. The Secretary concerned shall—
(1) terminate each permit or lease waived or portion of
a permit or lease waived under this subsection;
(2) ensure a permanent end to domestic sheep grazing
on the land covered by the waived permit or lease or waived
portion of the permit or lease unless or until there is no conflict
with bighorn sheep management; and
(3) provide for the reimbursement of range improvements
in compliance with section 4 of the Act of June 28, 1934
