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

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

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 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

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

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

individuals submitted by the treaty Indian tribes (as defined by

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

Southern Fund shall be transferred to the general fund of the
United States Treasury.

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,

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.
