If any State or treaty Indian tribe has taken any action, or

omitted to take any action, the results of which place the United

States in jeopardy of not fulfilling its international obligations

under the Treaty, or any fishery regime or Fraser River Panel

regulation adopted thereunder, the Secretary shall inform the State

United States in jeopardy of not fulfilling its international

obligations under the Treaty, of any remedial action which would

relieve this concern, and of the intention to promulgate Federal

regulations if such remedial actions are not undertaken within

fifteen days unless an earlier action is required to avoid

violation of United States Treaty obligations. Should United

States action be required to meet Treaty obligations to Canada in

respect to treaty Indian fisheries conducted in terminal areas

subject to the continuing jurisdiction of a United States district

court, such action shall be taken within the framework of such

court jurisdiction. Otherwise, regulations may be promulgated by

the Secretary pursuant to section 3636(a) of this title which shall

supersede any State or treaty Indian tribal law, regulation or

order determined by the Secretary to place the United States in

jeopardy of not fulfilling its international obligations under the

Treaty. Timely notice of all such determinations shall be

disseminated by electronic media and shall be published in local

newspapers in the major fishing ports affected and in the Federal

Register. In order to enable the United States to fulfill its

obligations under article IV(7) of the Treaty, the States of

Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington and the treaty Indian tribes

pertaining to the harvest of Pacific salmon, together with such

amendments thereto as may be adopted from time to time.

(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

(b) Additions to fishery regimes and Fraser River Panel regulations

shall be assigned for hearing at the earliest possible date, shall

take precedence over other matters pending on the docket of the

United States district court at that time, and shall be expedited

in every way by such court and any appellate court.

Treaty Agreement'') there are hereby established a Northern

Boundary and Transboundary Rivers Restoration and Enhancement Fund

(hereafter referred to as the ''Northern Fund'') and a Southern

Boundary Restoration and Enhancement Fund (hereafter referred to as

the ''Southern Fund'') to be held by the Pacific Salmon Commission.

The Northern Fund and Southern Fund shall be invested in interest

bearing accounts, bonds, securities, or other investments in order

to achieve the highest annual yield consistent with protecting the

principal of each Fund. Income from investments made pursuant to

this paragraph shall be available until expended, without

appropriation or fiscal year limitation, for programs and

activities relating to salmon restoration and enhancement, salmon

research, the conservation of salmon habitat, and implementation of

the Pacific Salmon Treaty and related agreements. Amounts provided

by grants under this subsection may be held in interest bearing

accounts prior to the disbursement of such funds for program

purposes, and any interest earned may be retained for program

purposes without further appropriation. The Northern Fund and

Southern Fund are subject to the laws governing Federal

appropriations and funds and to unrestricted circulars of the

Office of Management and Budget. Recipients of amounts from either

Fund shall keep separate accounts and such records as are

reasonably necessary to disclose the use of the funds as well as to

facilitate effective audits.

(2) Fund Management. -

(A) As provided in the 1999 Pacific Salmon Treaty Agreement,

amounts made available from the Northern Fund pursuant to

paragraph (1) shall be administered by a Northern Fund Committee,

which shall be comprised of three representatives of the

Government of Canada, and three representatives of the United

States. The three United States representatives shall be the

United States Commissioner and Alternate Commissioner appointed

(or designated) from a list submitted by the Governor of Alaska

for appointment to the Pacific Salmon Commission and the Regional

Administrator of the National Marine Fisheries Service for the

Alaska Region. Only programs and activities consistent with the

purposes in paragraph (1) which affect the geographic area from

Cape Caution, Canada to Cape Suckling, Alaska may be approved for

funding by the Northern Fund Committee.

(B) As provided in the 1999 Pacific Salmon Treaty Agreement,

amounts made available from the Southern Fund pursuant to

paragraph (1) shall be administered by a Southern Fund Committee,

which shall be comprised of three representatives of Canada and

three representatives of the United States. The United States

submitted by the Governors of the States of Washington and

Oregon; one shall be selected from a list of three qualified

individuals submitted by the treaty Indian tribes (as defined by

forth in the letter of understanding of the United States

negotiators dated June 22, 1999. If such orders are not requested

to, or adversely modify designated critical habitat of, any

salmonid species listed under Public Law 93-205, as amended (16

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), in any fishery subject to the Pacific

Salmon Treaty.

(2) If the requests for orders in subparagraph (1)(A) are

entered by March 1, 2000, amounts in the Northern Fund and the

Southern Fund shall be transferred to the general fund of the

United States Treasury.

(3) During the term of the 1999 Pacific Salmon Treaty Agreement,

the Secretary of Commerce shall determine whether Southern United

States fisheries are likely to cause jeopardy to, or adversely

modify designated critical habitat of, any salmonid species listed

under Public Law 93-205, as amended, before the Secretary of

Commerce may initiate or reinitiate consultation on Alaska

fisheries under such Act.

(4) During the term of the 1999 Pacific Salmon Treaty Agreement,

the Secretary of Commerce may not initiate or reinitiate

consultation on Alaska fisheries under section 7 of Public Law

Salmon Commission.

(5) The Secretary of Commerce shall notify the Committee on

Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the

Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives of his

intent to initiate or reinitiate consultation on Alaska fisheries.
