1. Short title; table of contents This Act may be cited as the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act . The table of contents for this Act is as follows:

2. Findings Congress finds that— many areas of undeveloped National Forest System land, National Park System land, and public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming (referred to in this section as public land)— possess outstanding natural characteristics that give the areas value as wildernesses, parks, or wild and scenic rivers; and if properly preserved, will be an enduring resource as wildernesses and wildland areas and of biodiversity for the benefit of the people of the United States; the Northern Rockies Bioregion— contains the most diverse array of wildland that remains in the United States south of Canada; provides a sanctuary for species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); is national interest public land that is among the most popular wildland in the United States; and embraces greater ecosystems and national treasures such as the Greater Yellowstone, Greater Glacier/Northern Continental Divide, Greater Hells Canyon/Wallowa, Greater Salmon/Selway, and Greater Cabinet-Yaak-Selkirk ecosystems; the natural ecosystems in the Northern Rockies Bioregion are largely dependent on— public land; and the ecological productivity and diversity of resources on public land; conservation of roadless areas on public land— produces clean water; protects native fisheries and native flora and fauna; provides scenic and recreational qualities; and preserves options for sustainable economics through activities such as hunting, fishing, and wilderness-based recreation; the headwaters of several major river systems, including the Columbia, Snake, Green, Missouri, and Saskatchewan Rivers, are in the Northern Rockies Bioregion and the water of those rivers— flows to 3 oceans; is of economic importance to farming and ranching operations, municipal water supplies, and water-based recreation, including fishing and boating; and if protected, will enhance the uses described in subparagraph (B), reduce costs for water treatment and irrigation, and increase native fish populations; the wildlife treasures of the Northern Rockies Bioregion are of international significance and contain intact, large mammalian fauna and rare and unique plant life; wildlife habitat fragmentation due to road building, timber harvesting, mining, oil and gas exploration, lack of interagency cooperation, and other activities has severe effects on— the wildlife populations of the Northern Rockies Bioregion (including populations of species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)) and the habitats of the wildlife; and the water quality, ancient forests, and greater ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bioregion; the overemphasis on resource extraction from public land has— compromised ecosystem integrity and detracted from economic diversification opportunities; and resulted in economic instability and high unemployment in rural, resource-dependent communities; the fragmentation and development of the remaining roadless and essentially roadless ecosystems and biological connectors of the Northern Rockies Bioregion would cause a loss to the United States of— an entire wildland region; and the only remaining area in the United States south of Canada that can support populations of gray wolves, grizzly bears, anadromous fish, and other rare or endangered plant or animal life in 1 intact bioregion; since the completion of the 1936 roadless area inventory by Bob Marshall, millions of acres of roadless wildland have been developed in the Northern Rockies Bioregion; extensive fragmentation of wildland and wildlife habitat has— resulted in the listing of several species as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); and reduced the number and range of other species, including anadromous fish; the natural ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bioregion serve as educational and research centers for onsite studies in biology, geology, astronomy, and other sciences; the pristine nature of public land helps local communities attract new residents and businesses based on local quality of life; a review of the situation in the Northern Rockies Bioregion as of the date of enactment of this Act has revealed the urgent need for an ecological reserve system for the Northern Rockies Bioregion that includes core ecosystem reserve areas and biological connecting corridors necessary— to ensure wildlife movements and genetic interchange between the core reserve areas; and to act as carbon reserves in a warming world; wildlife freedom of movement is essential to the survival of wildlife species, and a number of scientific studies have identified movement corridors as necessary for wildlife conservation in a changing climate; several foreign governments, including the governments of Australia and Scotland, have announced plans for corridors that would make wildlife movement possible as climate pressures increase; the concept of connective corridors for wildlife movement— has been endorsed by the Governors of States in the western United States; and is recognized by conservation and scientific organizations, such as the National Academy of Sciences, which, in 2008, described freedom of movement for wildlife as basic to the emerging new science of movement ecology; freedom of wildlife movement— was a fundamental reason for the development and introduction of this Act; and has become an increasingly high-profile issue in the climate and biological sciences; the economic value to the United States of most of the public land, left in its natural state, exceeds any potential return to the Treasury of the United States from timber harvest and development; if Federal land management in the Northern Rockies Bioregion continues to result in development in roadless areas, the Federal Government will be using tax revenues to fund permanent reductions in wilderness, water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, species, and biological diversity; this Act— provides opportunities for employment in outdoor trades by establishing rehabilitation zones on specific tracts of damaged Federal land where active restoration work will occur; will provide contracts for local businesses; and will renew the intrinsic economic, social, and cultural benefits that result from productive land; Federal land rehabilitation projects— have direct benefits to local economies; and reduce the loss to taxpayers in the United States caused by below-cost timber sales and other subsidized resource extraction; a congressional review of roadless areas within public land identifies— areas that, on the basis of the land form, ecosystem, associated fish and wildlife, economic value, and location of the areas, will help to fulfill the role of the Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management to ensure a quality National Wilderness Preservation System; areas that may have value as wild and scenic rivers; and areas that— may not possess wilderness attributes and should not now be designated as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System; and should be studied to determine the role of the areas in maintaining biological diversity in the Northern Rockies Bioregion; many areas of public land— have been damaged and experienced a reduction in productivity due to unwise development practices, which have also impaired ecosystem function and biological diversity, such as the Island Park area adjacent to Yellowstone National Park, which contains large clear-cut areas that border the park boundary; and should be returned to the former ecological health and native diversity of the areas through efforts— to ensure that vital ecosystem components are restored, especially in areas in which wildlife travel corridors and native fish and wildlife populations have been damaged or eliminated; and to ensure and maintain genetic interchange, biological diversity, and restoration of native species diversity throughout the Northern Rockies Bioregion; backcountry areas of the National Park System have been damaged by inappropriate management, despite policies that require that recommended wilderness be administered as wilderness; an emphasis on structures and motorized equipment, and in some instances developed backcountry campsites, in backcountry areas of the National Park System has detracted from and degraded the wilderness character of those backcountry areas; Federal agencies entrusted with managing the natural resources of the Northern Rockies Bioregion— operate under contradictory congressional mandates; and are in dissension over management policies that involve common resources and greater ecosystems; Federal agency structures and regulatory mechanisms as of the date of enactment of this Act have proven unsatisfactory for the responsible management of nationally important ecosystems on public land; Federal laws and regulations as of the date of enactment of this Act have not been sufficient to establish and maintain the accountability of Federal agencies for public resources; and this Act does not affect private existing rights.

3. Purposes The purposes of this Act are— to designate certain National Forest System land, certain National Park System land, and certain public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management in the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System; to designate certain National Forest System land, certain public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and watercourses on that National Forest System land and public land in the States of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System; to prioritize areas for wildland recovery to help restore biological diversity and native species; and to establish a system of biological connecting corridors— between the core ecosystems in the Northern Rockies Bioregion; and that connect to ecologically significant wildland to the south of the Northern Rockies Bioregion. The designations of land made by this Act are made— to promote, perpetuate, and preserve the wilderness character of the designated land; to protect water quality, watersheds, and wildlife habitats, including the habitats of species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); to protect the ecological integrity and contiguity of major wildland ecosystems and the interconnecting corridors of the ecosystems identified by the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service or another official; to protect and maintain biological and native species diversity and dispersal throughout the Northern Rockies Bioregion; to promote and ensure interagency cooperation in the implementation of integrated, holistic ecosystem management and protection of the ecosystems and corridors covered by this Act based on principles from conservation biology; to preserve scenic, historic, and cultural resources; to promote scientific research, primitive recreation, solitude, physical and mental challenges, and inspiration for the benefit of the people of the United States; to avoid the misinvestment of scarce capital in land of marginal timber value; and to promote ecologically and economically sustainable management in the Northern Rockies Bioregion.

109. Administration Subject to valid existing rights, land designated as wilderness by this title shall be administered by the Secretary concerned in accordance with the Wilderness Act (16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.), except that— any reference in that Act to the effective date shall be deemed to be a reference to the date of the enactment of this Act; any reference in that Act to the Secretary of Agriculture shall be considered to be a reference to the Secretary concerned; and the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture shall, to the maximum extent practicable, coordinate the management of an area of land designated as wilderness by this title that contains— land administered by the Secretary of the Interior; and land administered by the Secretary of Agriculture. As soon as practicable after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary concerned shall submit a map and legal description of each area of land designated as wilderness by this title to— the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate; and the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives. Each map and legal description prepared under paragraph (1) shall have the same force and effect as if included in this Act, except that the Secretary concerned may correct clerical and typographical errors in the map or legal description. Each map and legal description prepared under paragraph (1) shall be on file and available for public inspection in the Office of the Chief of the Forest Service, the Office of the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, or the Office of the Director of the National Park Service, as appropriate.

110. Water With respect to the land designated as wilderness by this title, rights to a quantity of water sufficient to fulfill the purposes for which the land is designated as wilderness are reserved. The priority date of the rights reserved by paragraph (1) is the date of enactment of this Act. The Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of the Interior, and any other relevant officer of the United States shall, to the maximum extent practicable, ensure that the rights reserved by subsection (a) are protected, including by filing in a court of the State of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, or Washington claims for quantification of those rights in any appropriate stream adjudication— occurring on or after the date of enactment of this Act; and in which the United States is properly joined in accordance with section 208 of the Act of July 10, 1952 (43 U.S.C. 666) (commonly referred to as the McCarran Amendment).

111. Donation of grazing permits and leases The Secretary concerned shall accept the donation of any valid existing permit or lease authorizing grazing on public land or National Forest System land, all or a portion of which is within— a wilderness area designated under this title; a biological connecting corridor designated under title II; or a recovery area designated under title IV. A person holding a valid permit or lease for a grazing allotment partially located in an area described in paragraph (1) may elect to donate only the portion of the permit or lease that is within the applicable area. With respect to each permit or lease donated under subsection (a), the Secretary concerned shall— terminate the permit or lease or portion of the permit or lease, as applicable; and except as provided in subsection (c), ensure a permanent end to grazing on the land covered by the permit or lease or portion of the permit or lease. If the land covered by a permit or lease donated under subsection (a) is covered by an additional valid permit or lease that is not donated under that subsection, the Secretary concerned shall reduce the authorized level on the land covered by the permit or lease to reflect the donation of the permit or lease under that subsection. To ensure that there is a permanent reduction in the level of grazing on the land covered by the permit or lease donated under subsection (a), the Secretary concerned shall not allow grazing use on the covered land to exceed the authorized level established under paragraph (1). If a person holding a valid permit or lease donates less than the full level of grazing use authorized under the grazing permit or lease under subsection (a), the Secretary concerned shall— reduce the authorized grazing level to reflect the donation; and modify the permit or lease to reflect the revised level.

201. Findings Congress finds that, as of the date of enactment of this Act— the most recent scientific information on ecological reserve design and function, including recent scientific information on species dispersal in response to a changing climate, points out the critical need for biological connecting corridors between the larger core ecosystem areas; while none of the remaining major wildland ecosystems of the Northern Rockies Bioregion appears to be of sufficient size to perpetuate the full complement of self-sustaining viable populations of native wildlife, biological diversity, and full range of ecological processes on its own, it appears that an effective reserve system can be achieved if biological connecting corridors between the ecosystems are identified and protected; the wildland areas addressed by this title are located between the major core ecosystems of the region and are essential for wildlife and plant migration and genetic interchange; and those areas are some of the most beautiful and wild mountain ranges in the United States, including the Bitterroot, Sapphire, Lost River, Lemhi, and Bridger mountain ranges.

202. Designation of biological connecting corridors To protect the life flow of the Northern Rockies Bioregion, the Federal land described in subsection (b)— is designated as biological connecting corridors that connect the Greater Yellowstone, Greater Glacier/Northern Continental Divide, Greater Hells Canyon, Greater Salmon/Selway, and Greater Cabinet-Yaak-Selkirk ecosystems; and shall be subject to the special corridor management requirements under section 203. The Federal land referred to in subsection (a) is the approximately 2,900,000 acres of Federal land, as generally depicted on the map entitled Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (2023) and dated April 10, 2023, and administered by the Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management.

203. Treatment of biological connecting corridors Those portions of the biological connecting corridors designated by section 202 are designated as special corridor management areas and shall be managed according to the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528 et seq.) and other applicable laws and in accordance with subsection (b). The practice of even-aged silvicultural management and timber harvesting is prohibited within the special corridor management areas. Subject to valid existing rights, mining, oil, and gas exploration and development and new road construction or reconstruction is prohibited within the special corridor management areas. The Federal land management agency responsible for the administration of a special corridor management area or portion of a special corridor management area shall act immediately to ensure that road densities within the biological connecting corridor approach, to the maximum extent practicable, zero miles of road per square mile of land area. The road density described in subparagraph (A) shall not exceed 0.25 miles per square mile, using the method known as the moving window method.

204. Applicability of title This title shall apply only to National Forest System land and land under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management. No private land is affected by this title and no private landowner whose land is adjacent to public land within the designated biological connecting corridors shall be compelled, under any circumstances, to comply with this title. A private landowner may enter into a cooperative agreement with the Federal Government on a willing participant or willing seller basis to include the land of the private landowner in a biological connecting corridor designated by this title.

205. Cooperative agreements and land trades and acquisitions The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture shall seek to enter into cooperative agreements with private, State, and corporate landowners and sovereign Indian Tribes the land of which is adjacent to public land in the biological connecting corridors designated under this title, if those agreements would benefit the ecological integrity and function of the designated corridors. The Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior may undertake land trades or acquisitions to carry out the purposes of this title if the Secretary concerned considers the action to be— appropriate; and in compliance with existing law (including regulations) applicable to land trades or acquisitions. As part of the report required by section 501, the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior shall describe the progress of cooperative agreements, acquisitions, and proposed land exchanges sought pursuant to this section.
