Sec. 460bbb-10. Savings provision
(a) Activities on lands outside of recreation area
Nothing in this subchapter shall limit, restrict, or require
specific management practices on lands outside the recreation area
boundary. The fact that activities or uses outside the recreation area
can be seen, heard, or otherwise perceived within the recreation area
shall not, of itself, limit, restrict, or preclude such activities or
uses up to the boundary of the recreation area.
(b) Prior rights
(1) Nothing in this subchapter shall limit, restrict, or preclude
the implementation of valid timber sale contracts or other contracts or
agreements executed by the Secretary before November 16, 1990.
(2) Except as specifically provided herein nothing in this
subchapter shall be construed as diminishing or relinquishing any right,
title, or interest of the United States in any lands, waters, or
interests therein within the boundaries of the recreation area
designated by this subchapter.
(c) Road easements
Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed as affecting the
responsibilities of the State of California or any of its political
subdivisions with respect to road easements, including maintenance and
improvement of State Highway 199 and County Route 427.
(d) Rights of access
Existing rights provided by Federal law for access by private
landowners across National Forest System lands shall not be affected by
this subchapter.
(e) Entitlement moneys
Annually for the first two full fiscal years after November 16,
1990, the Secretary shall pay for use by units of local government
within the recreation area an amount equal to the difference between the
amounts payable for such purposes pursuant to the Act of May 23, 1908
(chapter 193; 35 Stat. 251; 16 U.S.C. 500) and the average amount paid
for such purpose under such Act during the five fiscal years preceding
November 16, 1990. The amount payable under this subsection shall be
reduced by 10 percent annually thereafter for each succeeding fiscal
year until the amount payable shall be reduced 100 percent by the end of
the twelfth fiscal year after November 16, 1990. This subsection shall
expire 11 years after the first payment pursuant to this subsection.
(Pub. L. 101-612, Sec. 13, Nov. 16, 1990, 104 Stat. 3222.)
