Until the completion of the management plan, the Secretary shall manage the Federal land in accordance with the purposes described in section 2(b). Except as needed for emergency or authorized administrative purposes, in the Monument— motorized vehicle use shall be permitted only on designated roads; and mechanized vehicle use shall be permitted only on roads and trails designated for the use of those vehicles. Except as provided in paragraph (3), the Secretary may acquire non-Federal land or interests in land within or adjacent to the Federal land added to the Monument by this Act only through exchange, donation, or purchase from a willing seller. Any land or interests in land within or adjacent to the Federal land added to the Monument by this Act acquired by the United States after the date of the enactment of this Act shall be— added to and administered as part of the Monument; and with respect to inclusion in the management plan, taken into consideration through an appropriate amendment to that plan. An addition to the Cotoni-Coast Dairies unit of Federal land referred to in section 3(1)(C) shall be limited to the acreage contained within the boundary of the Monument, as established by this Act. Any cooperative management agreement in existence on the date of enactment of this Act between the Federal land areas and other land management entities shall not be affected due to the enactment of this Act. To better implement the management plan and to continue the successful partnerships with local communities and land administered by the State of California and other partners, the Secretary may enter into cooperative agreements with the appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies and organizations pursuant to section 307(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 ( 43 U.S.C. 1737(b) ). Subject to valid existing rights, all Federal land within the Monument and all land and interests in land acquired for the Monument by the United States after the date of the enactment of this Act are withdrawn from— all forms of entry, appropriation, or disposal under the public land laws; location, entry, and patent under the mining laws; and operation of the mineral leasing, mineral materials, and geothermal leasing laws. The Secretary shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law and in consultation with affected Indian tribes, ensure the protection of Indian sacred sites and traditional cultural properties in the Monument and provide access by members of Indian tribes for traditional cultural and customary uses, consistent with Public Law 95–341 (commonly known as the American Indian Religious Freedom Act ; 42 U.S.C. 1996 ) and Executive Order 13007 ( 42 U.S.C. 1996 note; relating to Indian sacred sites). Notwithstanding paragraph (1), nothing in this Act enlarges, diminishes, or modifies the rights of any Indian tribe or Indian religious community. The expansion of the Monument by this Act is not intended to lead to the establishment of protective perimeters or buffer zones around the Federal land included in the Monument by this Act. The fact that activities outside the Monument can be seen or heard within the Federal land added to the Monument by this Act shall not, of itself, preclude those activities or uses up to the boundary of the Monument. Nothing in this Act affects the grazing of livestock within the Federal land described in section 3(1)(C). The Secretary shall manage the Monument as part of the National Landscape Conservation System.
