In accordance with the Wilderness Act ( 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq. ), the approximately 30,540 acres of Forest Service land and Bureau of Land Management land in the State, as generally depicted on the map, is designated as wilderness and as a component of the National Wilderness Preservation System, to be known as the Devil’s Staircase Wilderness . As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall prepare a map and legal description of the Wilderness. The map and legal description prepared under paragraph
(1)shall have the same force and effect as if included in this Act, except that the Secretary may correct clerical and typographical errors in the map and legal description. The map and legal description prepared under paragraph
(1)shall be on file and available for public inspection in the appropriate offices of the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Subject to valid existing rights, the area designated as wilderness by this section shall be administered by the Secretary in accordance with the Wilderness Act ( 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq. ), except that— any reference in that Act to the effective date shall be considered to be a reference to the date of enactment of this Act; and any reference in that Act to the Secretary of Agriculture shall be considered to be a reference to the Secretary that has jurisdiction over the land within the Wilderness. Nothing in this section affects the jurisdiction or responsibilities of the State with respect to fish and wildlife in the State. Nothing in this section creates any protective perimeter or buffer zone around the Wilderness. The fact that a nonwilderness activity or use on land outside the Wilderness can be seen or heard within the Wilderness shall not preclude the activity or use outside the boundary of the Wilderness. Nothing in this section diminishes any treaty rights of an Indian tribe. Administrative jurisdiction over the approximately 49 acres of Bureau of Land Management land north of the Umpqua River in sec. 32, T. 21 S., R. 11 W, is transferred from the Bureau of Land Management to the Forest Service. The Secretary shall administer the land transferred by paragraph
(1)in accordance with— the Act of March 1, 1911 (commonly known as the Weeks Law ) ( 16 U.S.C. 480 et seq. ); and any laws (including regulations) applicable to the National Forest System.
