military installations.

(B) Integrated natural resources management plan

To facilitate the program, the Secretary of each military

department shall prepare and implement an integrated natural

resources management plan for each military installation in the

United States under the jurisdiction of the Secretary, unless

the Secretary determines that the absence of significant

natural resources on a particular installation makes

preparation of such a plan inappropriate.

(2) Cooperative preparation

The Secretary of a military department shall prepare each

integrated natural resources management plan for which the

Secretary is responsible in cooperation with the Secretary of the

Interior, acting through the Director of the United States Fish

and Wildlife Service, and the head of each appropriate State fish

and wildlife agency for the State in which the military

installation concerned is located. Consistent with paragraph

(4), the resulting plan for the military installation shall

reflect the mutual agreement of the parties concerning

conservation, protection, and management of fish and wildlife

resources.

(3) Purposes of program

Consistent with the use of military installations to ensure the

preparedness of the Armed Forces, the Secretaries of the military

departments shall carry out the program required by this

subsection to provide for -

on military installations;

(B) the sustainable multipurpose use of the resources, which

shall include hunting, fishing, trapping, and nonconsumptive

uses; and

(C) subject to safety requirements and military security,

public access to military installations to facilitate the use.

(4) Effect on other law

Nothing in this subchapter -

(A)(i) affects any provision of a Federal law governing the

fishing permits to individuals and require payment of nominal

fees therefor, which fees shall be utilized for the protection,

conservation, and management of fish and wildlife, including

habitat improvement and related activities in accordance with the

integrated natural resources management plan; except that -

(A) the Commanding Officer of the installation or persons

designated by that Officer are authorized to enforce such

special hunting and fishing permits and to collect, spend,

administer, and account for fees for the permits, acting as

agent or agents for the State if the integrated natural

resources management plan so provides, and

(B) the fees collected under this paragraph may not be

expended with respect to other than the military installation

on which collected, unless the military installation is

subsequently closed, in which case the fees may be transferred

to another military installation to be used for the same

purposes.

(c) Prohibitions on sale and lease of lands unless effects

compatible with plan

After an integrated natural resources management plan is agreed

to under subsection (a) of this section -

(1) no sale of land, or forest products from land, that is

within a military installation covered by that plan may be made

under section 2665(a) or (b) of title 10; and

(2) no leasing of land that is within the installation may be

made under section 2667 of such title 10;

services that are necessary for that implementation and

enforcement; and

(2) priority shall be given to the entering into of contracts

for the procurement of such implementation and enforcement

services with Federal and State agencies having responsibility

for the conservation or management of fish or wildlife.

programs

-STATUTE-

(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.

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

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

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

-STATUTE-

(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.
