Congress finds that— military aircraft testing and training activities in the State of Nevada— are an important part of the national defense system of the United States; and are essential in order to secure an enduring and viable national defense system for the current and future generations of people of the United States; the units of the National Park System and the additions to the Conservation Area established under this Act are located within a region critical to providing training, research, and development for the Armed Forces of the United States and allies of the Armed Forces; there is a lack of alternative sites available for the military training, testing, and research activities being conducted in the State of Nevada; continued use of the airspace in the State of Nevada is essential for military purposes; and continuation of the military activities in the State of Nevada, under appropriate terms and conditions, is not incompatible with the protection and proper management of the natural, environmental, cultural, and other resources and values of Federal land in the State of Nevada.
Nothing in this Act or any other land management law applicable to a new unit of the National Park System or an addition to the Conservation Area designated by this Act shall restrict or preclude overflights, including— low-level overflights of military aircraft over the Federal land; and military overflights that can be seen or heard within the unit or Conservation Area. Nothing in this Act or any other land management law applicable to a new unit of the National Park or an addition to the Conservation Area designated by this Act shall restrict or preclude the designation of new units of special airspace or the use or establishment of military flight training routes over the unit or Conservation Area.
