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.)
